Development and application of CRISPR/Cas in grapevine

Abstract

The development and application of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated protein) technologies have revolutionized genome editing in plants due to its simplicity, high efficiency, and versatility. As an economically important fruit crop worldwide, grapevine genome editing using CRISPR/Cas technologies has also been reported these years.  Here we introduce the development briefly of the most popular CRISPR/Cas9 system and also the state-of-the-art CRISPR technologies developed so far. Moreover, we summarize CRISPR/Cas9-mediated applications for gene functional study and trait improvement in grapevine. Optimization of CRISPR/Cas9 system, as well as the other CRISPR/Cas systems including CRISPR/LbCas12a and base editor in grapevine genome editing, is also discussed. In addition, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives for precision genome editing in grapevine, expecting to present a roadmap for the future applications of CRISPR technology in this species.

Developmental stage-specific effects of high temperature on aroma accumulation in ‘Marselan’ grapes from the Helan Mountain region

The aroma of wine grapes is influenced by a complex metabolic network, with terroir factors, especially high temperatures, playing a critical role during berry development.

Differentiation and characterization of Spanish fortified wines with protected designation of origin based on volatiles using multivariate approaches

Spain is one of the main producers of high-quality fortified wines. Particularly some of them elaborated in Andalusia have acquired a great prestige for being unique due to their production in a specific geographical area with traditional methods, the grape variety used, the climate and the soil. Such is their distinguishing feature achieved that they have been protected by the European Union with the indication “Protected Designation of Origin” (PDO). Thus, there are four PDO of fortified wines in Andalucía (‘Condado de Huelva’, ‘Jerez Xérès Sherry’, ‘Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda’, and ‘Montilla-Moriles’). Furthermore, within each PDO,there are different categories according to their particular characteristics and winemaking conditions such as the aging process.

Effects of using cationic exchange for reducing pH on the composition and quality of sparkling wine

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2023, Fernando Zamora (Department of biochemistry and biotechnology, Faculty of oenology, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain) speaks about the effects of using cationic exchange for reducing pH on the composition and quality of sparkling wine. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Analyse de la perception du terroir et de sa valorisation par les viticulteurs de l’Anjou

An integrated terroir characterization is currently realized in the French northern vineyard: “Anjou”. The concept of Basic Terroir Unit (B.T.U.) and its associated ground model “Rock, Alteration, Alterite” are used in this characterization. This work is coupled to a viticultural survey, based on parcels.

Island and coastal vineyards in the context of climate change

Aim: The notion of “terroir” enables the attribution of distinctive characteristics to wines from the same region. Climate change raises issues about viticulture, especially the growth of the vines and even more importantly the economic situation of actual wine-growing regions (Schultz and Jones 2010; Quénol 2014). Several studies have addressed the impacts of climate change on viticulture in
