Novel approaches and promising perspectives for enhancing grapevine editing and regeneration

Abstract

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a challenging plant species to transform and regenerate due to its complex genome and biological characteristics. This limits the development of cisgenic and gene-edited varieties. One hurdle is selecting the best starting tissue for the transformation process, much like isolating suitable tissue for protoplasts. One promising method involves delivering CRISPR/Cas components to protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli, which are then induced to regenerate. However, this process is inefficient, time-consuming, and only applicable to a few genotypes. To enhance grapevine regeneration efficiency, the expression of developmental and plant growth regulators shows promise in escaping the recalcitrance encountered in traditional tissue culture methods. A strategy based on the Bean yellow dwarf virus (BeYDV) allows for the temporary expression of regulators while minimizing the risk of obtaining transgenic plants. Additionally, the high copy number replication of BeYDV allows for high CRISPR/CAS levels, thereby improving editing. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of individual or combined developmental regulators’ expression on grapevine embryogenic tissues. We conducted preliminary assays using BeYDV-derived vectors for luciferase reporter gene expression to optimize delivery efficiencies. Assays were performed on ‘Chardonnay’ calli and protoplasts using both agrobacterium-mediated transformation and protoplast transfection approaches. The present study seeks to enhance the transformation protocols and regeneration processes, with the ultimate aim of realizing the full potential of editing technologies in grapevine.

L’effet du climat viticole sur la typicité des vins rouges: caractérisation au niveau des régions viticoles Ibéro-Américaines

Il n’existe presque pas d’études qui caractérisent l’effet du climat viticole sur la typicité des vins en considérant les différents types de climats à l’échelle mondiale. Cette étude fait partie d’un projet CYTED de zonage vitivinicole. L’objectif a été de caractériser l’effet du climat viticole sur la typicité des vins sur une macro région viticole du monde.

Aroma profile evaluation in whole grape juices

Table grapes (Vitis labrusca and hybrids) are widely cultivated in Brazil [1] due to the climate, their resistance to disease and the way they are consumed and commercialized, either in-natura or for processing, producing whole juices, jams and table wines.

Characterizing the molecular basis of the differences in aromatic precursors found in commercial clones of Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat

Uruguay is known for the production of Tannat wines, which is a neutral variety from an aroma point of view, but capable of providing aromatic precursors that are of interest in the production of wines for ageing. The main aromatic precursors present are glycosidic compounds and carotenoids. The contribution of carotenoid degradation by-products such as norisoprenoids to wine aroma is fundamental, as they are associated with pleasant aroma descriptors and very low olfactory perception thresholds. Several factors have been shown to influence carotenoid concentrations in grapes, such as cultivar, climatic conditions, viticultural region, plant water status, exposure to sunlight and ripening stage.

Report on the work carried out by the zoning group of the O.I.V.

La création officielle du groupe Experts Zonage Vitivinicole à l’O.I.V., qui s’inscrit dans la Commission Viticulture, est récente. Le Professeur Mario FREGONI en assure la présidence depuis 1998, assisté du vice-président et du secrétaire général Mario FALCETTI. Ils ont été confirmés dans leurs fonctions lors des sessions de mars 2001. Actuellement, le groupe d’experts Zonage Vitivinicole de l’O.I.V. se compose de 40 délégués, représentant 18 pays membres. La mise en place de ce groupe a tout d’abord été initiée par l’Instituto Agrario de San Michele (Italie) et l’Unité de Recherches Vigne et Vin du Centre INRA d’Angers (France). Une collaboration entre les chercheurs s’est installée très tôt, dès 1987.
