Merging two genomes: a holistic approach to disentangle rootstock-mediated drought and recovery responses

Abstract

Viticulture is facing many challenges due to climate change effects with increasingly attention to save resources, such as water, considering that drought events have been predicted to dramatically increase over the next future. Thanks to the -omics techniques, research pushed forward knowledge to deepen facets of drought response in diverse grapevine-rootstock combinations. However, the regulatory mechanisms orchestrating adaptation strategies during drought and recovery in grafted grapevines need further exploration. Herein, we combined ecophysiological, biochemical and molecular approaches to unravel drought and recovery-induced changes in potted Nebbiolo (NE) plants grafted onto three different rootstocks (3309, Kober5BB, Gravesac), by analysing root and leaf tissues. Rhizosphere bacterial dynamics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization have also been investigated during drought and recovery phases. Leaf ecophysiology and water relations were monitored over time, revealing diverse behaviours at severe stress (SS) and recovery (REC) conditions. Overall, combining anatomical, biochemical and gene expression data of stress-associated markers involved in ABA metabolism, osmolytes, antioxidant pathways and xylem features from both bionts, different ABA- or osmotic-dependent responses were observed at SS and REC for NE/3009 and NE/Gravesac combinations. Conversely, the NE/Kober5BB combination appeared to be in a primingstate, displaying higher root ABA content and AM colonization prior to stress imposition, along with a lower scion xylem area. These findings underscore the varied strategies employed by different grafted combinations in drought recovery, considering grapevines not as standalone entities, but rather as holobionts (with their inhabiting microbes) interacting collectively with the surrounding environment.

L’activité photosynthétique et les relations hydriques de plantes de Syrah sur R99 un mois après la véraison ont été étudiées dans un vignoble de la région de Stellenbosch. Le vignoble, planté à 2,75 entre rangs et 1,5 m sur le rang, sur un sol de type Glenrosa, était en pente et exposé a l’ouest: pour les rangs on avait adopté une orientation nord

Investigating the conceptualization and practices linked to peppery notes in Syrah red wines by French winemakers from different regions

The peppery attribute is often used to describe the aroma of Syrah wines. Rotundone was identified as the main aroma compound responsible for these notes. A significant percentage of anosmic respondents to this molecule was reported in previous studies. However, in most cases, these anosmic respondents, formally tested through three-alternative forced choice (3AFC), frequently declare being able to perceive peppery notes in wines. The main objective of this study was to investigate how anosmic French producers from two different regions conceptualize the peppery notes in Syrah red wines, and how they link it to production practices in comparison with non-anosmic producers.

Application of high power ultrasounds during red wine vinification

Wine color is one of the main organoleptic characteristics influencing its quality. It is of especial interest in red vinifications due to the economic resources that wineries have to invest for the extraction of the phenolic compounds responsible of wine color, compounds that are mainly located inside the skin cell vacuoles. Moreover, these phenolic compounds not only influence color but also other organoleptic properties such as body, mouthfeel, astringency and flavour. The transference of phenolic compounds from grapes to must during vinification is closely related with the type of grapes and the winemaking technique.
