Mining microbiome data to identify antagonists of grapevine downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola)

Abstract

Vineyards are home to a myriad of microorganisms that interact with each other and with the vines. Some microorganisms are plant pathogens, such as the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, causing grapevine downy mildew. Others have a positive effect on vine health, such as disease biocontrol agents. These beneficial plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions have gained more attention in recent years because they could represent an alternative to the use of fungicides in viticulture. The aim of the present study is to identify bacterial and fungal taxa naturally present in vineyard soil and grapevine leaves and significantly more abundant in plots with low susceptibility to downy mildew (DM), susceptibility being defined by the intensity and frequency of DM symptoms over several years. Seven pairs of vineyard plots with contrasting susceptibility to DM were selected on the basis of a long-term epidemiological survey conducted in the Bordeaux region by the IFV. In each plot, we sampled young leaves (at phenological stage of 2-3 spreading leaves) and surface soil (top 5 cm) before the first fungicide treatments of the growing season. We used metabarcoding approaches to explore the entire microbial community of the samples. Up to 1974 and 769 taxonomic units of bacteria and fungi respectively were identified. Using differential abundance analyses, we could identify taxa that were significantly more abundant in plots of vines with low susceptibility to DM. As perspectives, the antagonistic activity of these taxa will be studied experimentally to develop microbial biocontrol of downy mildew and move viticulture towards pesticide-free viticulture.

Regional discrimination of shiraz using targeted and non-targeted analytical approaches

Aims: Shiraz is the most widely cultivated grape variety in Australia, and is grown under a range of viticultural and climatic conditions. Given its importance to the Australian wine sector, a number of studies have been conducted in recent years which involved a comprehensive assessment of grape composition, in order to objectively predict wine quality and style outcomes.

Organoleptic and analytical impacts of the color of glass of the bottles on Chasselas wine

This study was performed on Chasselas wine to assess the impact of exposure to wine light according to several glass color of bottles. The aim was to highlight any differences whether from an organoleptic or analytical point of view depending on the color. For this, four different shades were compared, dead leaf, green, cinnamon and transparent. A control, not treated with light, was also included in the study…

REGAVID a decision tool to deficit irrigation in a temperate climate (DO Monterrei – Spain)

In temperate climates, such as in the North of Spain, the use of irrigation in the vineyard has not been required, due to the usual rainfall from June to August. In some large vineyards, irrigation management has been carried out, based on occasional support irrigation, or for the application of nutrients (fertigation). Currently it is necessary to implement decision support models to manage irrigation water in real time and avoid misuse of a scarce resource. Moreover, quality standards must be achieved, as in the previous rainfed viticulture.
