In vitro tissue culture as a tool for Croatian grapevine germplasm management

Abstract

In vitro culture makes it possible to carry out specific studies that would not be possible with whole plants grown in the field or in a greenhouse. Cryopreservation allows long-term preservation without metabolic changes in the plant material and cryotherapy can be efficient in virus elimination, which is a major scientific challenge.
The preculture media of cryopreservation protocols were evaluated on three Croatian grape varieties with different antioxidants (salicylic acid, ascorbic acid and glutathione). The highest growth in vitro was achieved on the medium with the addition of glutathione and the lowest with the addition of salicylic acid. Growth in vitro and regeneration after cryopreservation depended on genotype and health status. The cryopreservation protocols tested (as part of cryotherapy) did not result in sufficient regeneration after cryopreservation (10-15%) in the varieties tested.
Virus elimination was tested for economically important viruses by meristem tip culture in 18 Croatian varieties. In vitro regeneration ranged 6.82-53.22%, but virus elimination was achieved in only three cultivars and was very low (23.8%). In addition, two new grapevine viruses (GVG and GBV-1) were tested. The results showed a low percentage of virus elimination (2%) by meristem tip culture in three-month-old tissue cultures.
Preliminary research activities were carried out by micrografting with Croatian grape varieties. The survival rate was good, but regeneration was difficult to achieve. A more detailed study is in progress. Overall, the presented methods of meristem tip culture, cryopreservation and micrografting should be further evaluated for the Croatian grapevine germplasm to enable wider application.

Determination of titratable acidity, sugar and organic acid content in red and white wine grape cultivars during ripening by VIS–NIR hy¬perspectral imaging

Grape harvest time is one of the most fundamental aspects that affect grape quality and thus wine quality. Many factors influence the decision of harvest; among them technological and phenolic maturity of grape. Technological ripeness is mainly related to sugar concentration, titratable acidity and pH. Conventional methods for chemical analysis of grapes are normally sample-destructive, time-consuming, include laborious sample preparation steps, and generate chemical waste, thereby limiting their utility in online/in-line quality monitoring. Moreover, destructive analyses can be performed only on a limited number of fruit pieces and, thus, their statistical relevance could be limited. This study evaluated the ability of a lab-scale hyperspectral imaging (HYP-IM) technique to predict titratable acidity, organic acid and sugar content of grapes. Samples of Cabernet franc and Chenin blanc grapes were consecutively collected six times at weekly intervals after veraison. The images were recorded thanks to the hyperspectral imaging camera Pica L (Resonon) in a spectral range from 400 to 1000 nm. Statistics were performed using Microsoft Xlstat software. Successively, the berries were analyzed for their sugar (glucose and fructose) and organic acid (malic and tartaric acid) content and titratable acidity according to usual methods.
