Optimizing protocol for a rapid and cost effective DNA isolation for Marker Assisted Selection pipeline

The use of stems during fermentation is generally avoided due to the herbaceous off-odors they can impart to the wine. [1].

Agiorgitiko (Vitis vinifera L. cv.) is the most widely cultivated indigenous red grape variety in Greece, known for the production of Protected Designation of Origin Nemea wines.

It is important to examine the yield quality elements of table grape varieties. There are great differences in winter and summer pruning of the early sweet grape variety. For this reason, in the study, the effects of different crop loads and pruning processes on grape yield, quality characteristics and vine development in the early sweet (vitis vinifera L.) Grape variety were investigated.

The use of compost as amendment in agriculture is a well-established practice, strongly recommended for numerous benefits.

Wine color is one of the main organoleptic characteristics influencing its quality. It is of especial interest in red vinifications due to the economic resources that wineries have to invest for the extraction of the phenolic compounds responsible of wine color, compounds that are mainly located inside the skin cell vacuoles. Moreover, these phenolic compounds not only influence color but also other organoleptic properties such as body, mouthfeel, astringency and flavour. The transference of phenolic compounds from grapes to must during vinification is closely related with the type of grapes and the winemaking technique.
