Effects of Silver Thiosulphate and Salicylic Acid on the long-term maintenance of the embryogenic callus of Vitis vinifera

Abstract

New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBTs) have the potential to revolutionize the genetic improvement of grapevine. However, the practical application of these techniques is limited by several challenges, such as the difficulty in generating embryogenic calluses, maintaining their competence during in vitro cultivation, and regenerating plants without defects. To overcome these challenges, we conducted a study to test the effect of two treatments on callus cultures derived from different grapevine varieties, with and without embryogenic competence. The tested substances were Silver Thiosulphate (STS) an ethylene inhibitor, and Salicylic Acid (SA), an elicitor with different effects depending on the concentration of use beyond the ethylene inhibitor activity. Our observations revealed a differential response to the treatments depending on the tested variety. In some varieties, STS treatment enhanced the embryogenic competence of the calluses, while also having a growth-depressing effect on the non-embryogenic calluses. In contrast, the effect of SA was more dose-dependent and varied across different varieties. In some cases, the highest tested concentration of SA had a growth-depressing effect on both embryogenic and non-embryogenic calluses, while in other cases, it only affected embryogenic calluses. Despite these variations, both STS and SA treatments showed promising results in enhancing embryogenic competence, and we are currently evaluating the regeneration of embryos from callus after these treatments and the combined effects of STS and SA. Our study highlights the importance of testing the efficacy of different treatments on multiple grapevine varieties to identify the most effective strategies for NPBT applications.

An overview of wine sensory characterization: from classical descriptive analysis to the emergence of novel profiling techniques

The wine industry requires coexistence between tradition and innovation to meet consumers’ preferences. Sensory science allows the objective quantification of consumers’ understanding of a product and subjective feedback of consumer’s perception through acceptance or rejection of stimulus or even describing emotions evoked [1]. To measure sensations, emotions and liking, and their dynamics over time, time-intensity methods are crucial tools with growing interest in sensory science [2].

The effectiveness of proximal remote sensors in plant water status evaluation of grapevine

Extensive studies have been conducted on grapevine responses to water deficit, but these responses are difficult to generalise since numerous factors can influence the response(s), including genotype, developmental stage, soil, climate, and season.

ASSESSMENT OF ‘DOLCETTO’ GRAPES AND WINES FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF OVADA DOCG

Dolcetto (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the traditionally cultivated varieties in Piedmont (north-east Italy). Dolcetto wines have long been associated with local consumption and they are little known internationally. In particular, the Ovada area (south-east Piedmont), even if it represents a small share of the regional PDO Dolcetto production, is one of the oldest and vocated territory, giving wine also suitable for aging. In this study, the basic composition and phenolic content of Dolcetto grapes for Ovada DOCG wines have been investigated in three different vintages (2020-2022), as well as the main aspects of the derived commercial and experimental wines (basic parameters, phenolics, volatile compounds, sensory properties).

Gamay and Gamaret winemaking processes using stems: impact on the wine chemical and organoleptic characteristics

AIM: Stalks are empirically known to bring many benefits to the wine such as alcoholic reduction, color protection or improvement of the tannic intensity. Not much used on Swiss grape varieties, the aim of this study was to identify the relevance of using this type of winemaking in the case of Gamay and Gamaret red grape varieties.
