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.

Improving the phenolic composition of cv tempranillo wines by blending grapes of different ripening state

The aim of this work was to reduce the alcohol content of Tempranillo wine. Tempranillo wines were produced by grapes harvested at different ripening dates (August 11 which was 21 oBrix and September 28 with 25 oBrix). At the second date, the Tempranillo wines were elaborated as follows: grapes were destemmed, crushed and collected into 50 L stainless-steel vats. Before preferementative maceration in cold, 50 % (M1) and 70 % (M2) of the must have been replaced by the same percentage of must from the first harvest. In addition, a control wine (C) was performed with only grapes from the second harvest.

Topographic modeling with GIS at Serra Gaúcha, Brazil: elements to study viticultural terroir

Brazil is historically known at the international wine market as an importer, eventhough in the last decades there was an increase in quantity and quality of the internal production. Nowadays, about 40% of fine wines comsuption of the country are national ones. The main production region is called Serra Gaúcha, where the natural conditions are heterogeneous and viticulture is develloped in small properties, mainly done by the owners family.

MODELLING THE AGEING POTENTIAL OF SYRAH RED WINES BY ACCELERATED AGEING TESTS: INFLUENCE OF ANTIOXIDANT ASSAYS AND PHENOLIC COMPOSITION

Red wine ageing is an important step in the red wine evolution and impacts its chemical and sensory characteristics through many chemicals and physico-chemical reactions. The kinetics of these evolutions depend on the wine studied and influence the wine ageing potential. Generally, high quality red wines require a longer period of bottle ageing before consumption¹. The ageing potential is an impor-tant parameter for wine quality and is related to the capacity of a wine to undergo oxidation over time². Phenolic compounds which are ones of the main substrates for oxidation can then potentially modulate ageing potential³.

Influence of coinoculation of L. plantarum and O. oeni on the color and composition of Tempranillo wines

AIM: The aim of this research was to determine the influence of performing malolactic fermentation (MLF) of Tempranillo wines by coinoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum or Oenococcus oeni and Saccharomycescerevisiae on the composition and color of the final wines in comparison with sequential inoculation with Oenococcus oeni and spontaneous MLF. METHODS: Around 1500 Kg of Tempranillo grapes from Pagos de Anguix winery (Anguix, AOC Ribera de Duero, Spain) were harvested at the optimal maturity
