Dry leaf hyperspectral reflectance predicts leaf elemental composition in grafted hybrids

Abstract

Elemental composition, measured as the concentrations of different elements present in a given tissue at a given time point, is a key indicator of vine health and development. While elemental composition and other high-throughput phenotyping approaches yield tremendous insight into the growth, physiology, and health of vines, costs and labor associated with repeated measures over time can be cost-prohibitive. Recent advances in handheld sensors that measure hyperspectral reflectance patterns of leaf tissue may serve as an affordable proxy for other types of phenotypic data, including elemental composition. Here, we ask if reflectance patterns of dried Chambourcin leaf tissue from an experimental grafting vineyard can predict the known elemental composition of those leaves. Using simple modeling strategies, we show that many elements like potassium and phosphorous can be explained by hyperspectral reflectance patterns (R2 = 0.50 and 0.62, respectively). In a predictive framework, we show that the predicted concentration of macronutrients like potassium correlate with the true, known value (r = 0.68). We additionally show that even some micronutrients such as nickel can be predicted (r = 0.53) from hyperspectral reflectance. This work offers a promising approach to assess nutrient composition in the field. We next plan to test our models on independent vineyards to see if the predictions are reasonable given leaf age and time of season. Future work will continue to refine these models for higher quality prediction of more elements and extend to other forms of high-dimensional phenotypes.

Methyl Jasmonate Versus Nano-Methyl Jasmonate: Effect On The Stilbene Content In Monastrell Variety

Stilbenes, a kind of non-flavonoid phenolic compounds, have been reported to be responsible for various beneficial effects. Their biological properties include antibacterial and antifungal effects, as well as cardioprotective, neuroprotective and anticancer actions (Guerrero et al. 2009).Several strategies can be used to increase stilbene content in grapes and one of them could be the use of elicitors such as methyl jasmonate. The use of this elicitor has been proven to be efficient in the production of secondary metabolites which increases the quality of wines, but its use also has some drawbacks such as its low water solubility, high volatility, and its expensive cost (Gil-Muñoz et al. 2021).

The role of Terroir in wine consumption: a cross-country analysis of consumers’ perception and sociodemographic influences

In the wine industry, terroir’s concept connects environmental, biological and cultural factors with consumer perception and product identity.

Analyse de la perception du terroir et de sa valorisation par les viticulteurs de l’Anjou

An integrated terroir characterization is currently realized in the French northern vineyard: “Anjou”. The concept of Basic Terroir Unit (B.T.U.) and its associated ground model “Rock, Alteration, Alterite” are used in this characterization. This work is coupled to a viticultural survey, based on parcels.

Reconfiguring wine prescription : from traditional critics to digital social networks

The integration of digital social networks (DSN) has profoundly transformed communication practices within the wine industry, reorganizing the dynamics of prescription and marketing.

Metabolomic insights into wine’s sensory identity: unveiling climate-driven changes in aroma composition

Wine, a sensitive and intricate agricultural product, is being affected by climate change, which accelerates grapevine phenological stages and alters grape composition and ripening. This influences the synthesis of key aroma compounds, shaping wine’s sensory attributes [1]. The complex aroma profile, resulting from compound interactions, presents a metabolomics challenge to identify these indicators and their environmental change responses, which is being addressed using diverse analytical techniques.
