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

The quality of bottled white wines is highly influenced by their storage conditions, mainly temperature, and exposure to light and oxygen (1, 2).

The winery and distilling spirits industry generate a remarkable amount of by-products and wasted, that are not properly managed, posing socioeconomic problems and environmental risks, due to its seasonal and polluting characteristics.

Somatic embryogenesis refers to the process through which differentiated plant cells reacquire totipotency and regenerate into whole plants.

This paper outlines the results of the activities and research carried out to determine which of the following aspects most influence sensorial and economic quality of wine grapes and wine grape production: product quality, cultivar, vineyards layout, winemaking techniques we must take into consideration in short, medium and long term so that the wine-growing activity of the north-east of Italy is increasingly “MetaEthically Sustainable 4.1C”.

The recovery of ancestral or minority vine varieties has been gaining great interest in recent years, among other reasons because it is likely that some of these varieties, due to the fact that they are found in relict areas, have a greater potential for adaptation to external factors (biotic or abiotic) and can minimize the effects that climate change is causing in viticulture. Varieties that can be grown at altitude are currently being sought to combat rising temperatures and prolonged extreme drought conditions. In Catalonia, the Pyrenean expansion of vineyard cultivation is documented from the 10th century and has been related to the “small climatic optimum” (9th-12th centuries) and also to seigniorial power.[1] But different adverse climatic periods and the arrival of Phylloxera by the late 19th century made many of these crops disappear.[2]
