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.

Stabulation (lees stirring) in must as a method for aroma intensification: A comparison with skin contact and a classical version of Traminer and Sauvignon blanc in Austria

In the course of this study, stabilisation (lees stirring in unclarified must) with skin contact and classic white wine vinification were compared for the Sauvignon blanc and Traminer varieties in Austria. The test wines were analysed for the volatile substances esters, free monoterpenes and fruity thiols

Incidences of the climate, the soil and the harvest date on Colombard aromatic potential in Gascony

This experiment tries to characterize the role of soil, climate and harvest date on the composition of grape-derivated thiols, 3-mercapto-hexanol (3MH) and 3-mercapto-hexile acetate (A3MH), in the white wines from Colombard varieties in Gascony (South-West of France). A network of 6 plots has been observed since 1999 on different pedologic units. The plots have common agronomical characteristics, plantation spacing (2,900 to 3,500 vines per ha), plantation aging (1985-1990), strength conferred by rootstock (SO4, RSB), soil management (grass covered 1 by 2) and training system (vertical shoot positionning pruned in single Guyot). Meteorological stations are located near the plots.

Removal of white wine heat unstable proteins by using proteases and flash pasteurization-comparison with bentonites treatments

White wine protein haze can be prevented by removing the grape juice proteins, currently achieved by bentonite addition. To avoid wine volume loss and to minimizes aroma stripping, degrading haze-forming proteins in wine with proteases is a particularly interesting alternative to bentonite. In the present study, two fungal proteases treatments combined with different heating (50, 60, 72 °C) + refreshing steps, were applied on Gewürztraminer grape juice, and compared to bentonite treatments. The impact of these 19 treatments on the wine haze risks was determined by using two heat tests at 50 °C (heating during 30 to 120 min) and 80 °C (heating during 5 to 60 min). The protein contents and compositions were also estimated using the SDS-PAGE + densitometric integration techniques.
