Which potential for Near Infrared Spectroscopy to characterize rootstock effects on grapevines?

Abstract

Developing rootstocks adapted to environmental constraints constitutes a key lever for grapevine adaptation to climate change. In this context, Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) could be used as a high-throughput phenotyping technique to simplify the study of rootstocks in grafted situations. This study is an exploratory analysis to evaluate the potential of NIRS acquired on grafted tissues to reveal rootstock effects as well as the plasticity of combinations of scion/rootstock to better characterize these interactions.
Through the study of 25 combinations (5 scions times 5 rootstocks) in a dedicated experimental vineyard, we showed that NIRS obtained from grafted tissues capture rootstock and scion/rootstock interaction signals, up to 20% of the total variance at specific wavelengths. Yet, the scion effect on the spectra remains dominant over the rootstock effect, which is also the case for agronomic traits. Using NIRS data on dried leaves, which were found to best capture the rootstock effect compared to measurements on wood or fresh leaves, spectral wavelengths specific to the rootstock effect could be identified.
Predictions at the vine level carried out on twenty-eight phenotypic traits showed that those related to phenology and vigor being were better predicted. Three spectral regions were consistently identified as contributing to predictions and to differences between scion/rootstock combinations. Using data from these regions yielded predictive models as accurate as those built with the entire spectral range, underlining that NIRS capture useful information related to the combination rootstock/scion which opens prospects towards the possibility of using this methodology in a breeding context.

L’effetto paesaggio sul sistema delle preferenze: i vini veneti tra evocazioni di consumo e determinanti di scelta

La presente relazione mira ad individuare il ruolo del paesaggio nella determinazione delle preferenze della domanda, in modo da far emergere i fattori immateriali che definiscono il valore territoriale dei vini tipici su cui far leva per le strategie di marketing. L’analisi ha riguardato vini tipici del Veneto e coinvolto soggetti non provenienti da questa Regione. Ne è emerso l’effetto amplificativo dell’immagine del paesaggio sulla qualità percepita.

Soil preparation practices to eliminate soil restrictions to grapevine root distribution for the establishment of sustainable vineyards

Grapevine yield and wine quality are dependent on good quality vegetative growth and root development. Soils that restrict proper grapevine root development, together with the high cost of establishing a new vineyard, require effective soil preparation to sustain productive vineyards for 25 years. This study reviews soil preparation research conducted over the past 50 years and identifies best practices to remove soil physical and chemical impediments to create optimum conditions for root growth.

Fructose implication in the Sotolon formation in fortified wines: preliminary results

Sotolon (3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone) is a naturally occurring odorant compound with a strong caramel/spice-like scent, present in many foodstuffs. Its positive contribution for the aroma of different fortified wines such as Madeira, Port and Sherry is recognized. In contrast, it is also known to be responsible for the off-flavor character of prematurely aged dry white wines. The formation mechanisms of sotolon in wine are still not well elucidated, particularly in Madeira wines, which are submitted to thermal processing during its traditional ageing. The sotolon formation in these wines has been related to sugar degradation mechanisms, particularly from fructose [1].
