Response to powdery and downy mildew of varieties with disease resistance genes (PIWI)

Abstract

Erysiphe necator and Plasmopara viticola are the causal agents of powdery and downy mildew on grapevines, leading to significant economic losses. Numerous chemical treatments are applied to control these diseases, leading to environmental problems and the appearance of resistance to these products. Therefore, the study of new strategies to achieve the objectives of sustainable development is a priority. In this sense, the use of new varieties resistant to these diseases may be an option of interest. The objective of this work was to analyze the degree of resistance of 9 varieties with downy mildew resistance genes (Rpv3 and/or Rpv12), four of which also carry a powdery mildew resistance gene (Ren 1) by in vitro inoculation assays. Young leaves previously sterilized were inoculated with a vacuum tower. Fungal development was evaluated on a scale from 1 to 5, seven and 14 days after inoculation. At 7 days, mycelium growth, without development of conidiophores, was observed in all varieties, with Eidos having the highest incidence. At 14 days, none of the varieties reached a scale of 4, except Mazuelo (used as standard). The highest incidence was recorded in the Volos variety. Preliminary trials on downy mildew also showed differences in resistance to attack by P. viticola, with Kretos having the highest incidence of the disease, but further trials will be conducted to validate these data. These results reveal that these varieties may be an alternative in order to reduce the number of spray applications to control the fungus.

Importance des propriétés optiques de la surface du sol sur le microclimat de la vigne. Répercussions de l’usage d’un revêtement de sol réfléchissant sur la composition des moûts et sur la qualité du vin

Cette recherche a eu pour but l’étude des effets d’un renforcement radiatif et thermique sur les zones inférieures de la canopée de la vigne (solarisation par des films ou des paillages réfléchissants installés sur le sol, sous les ceps), notamment l’étude de leurs conséquences sur la composition biochimique des moûts à la vendange et sur la qualité des vins.

Dissecting the dual role of light regarding the plasticity of grape physiology and gene regulation through daylength simulation in a semi-arid region

Context and purpose of the study. Daylength is a key climatic factor within the terroir concept. However, the complex interplay of multiple variables in regions with varying daylengths makes it challenging to isolate and investigate this specific factor.

The relationship between enzyme treatment and polysaccharide extraction in wine making, and subsequent sensory effects in Cabernet Sauvignon wines

AIM To determine the effect of both ripeness and enzyme maceration on the astringency and bitterness perception of Cabernet Sauvignon winesRecent work has contributed to a more detailed understanding of the grape cell wall deconstruction process from ripening through crushing and fermentation, providing a better understanding of what role polysaccharides play in post-harvest fermentation of grapes(1,2). Current research on glycomics in red wine making suggest polysaccharides are important sensory impact molecules (3–6). METHODSOur experimental system harvests Cabernet Sauvignon grapes at three different ripeness levels and makes wine both with and without enzyme treatment.

A novel approach for the identification of new biomarkers of wine consumption in human urine using untargeted metabolomics

Wine is one of the most representative components of Mediterranean diet. Moderate wine intake together with food, has been positively correlated with reduced risk of many chronic diseases. This beneficial effect seems to be ascribed to elevated polyphenolic content of wine [1]. Traditional approaches for the identification of wine biomarkers consumption include targeted metabolomics that focuses on the quantification of well-defined metabolites, losing a valuable information about a massive number of compounds. On the other hand, untargeted metabolomics can disclose a large quantity of signals corresponding to potential biomarkers in a single analysis with high sensitivity and resolution.
