Rootstock x environment interaction shapes shoot system phenotypic variation in grafted ‘Chambourcin’

Abstract

Recent advances in phenomics and transcriptomics have the enhanced capacity for understanding how clonally propagated perennial crops like grapevines respond to their environments seasonally and over the course of multiple years. Because most grapevines are grafted, above-ground grapevine traits reflect scion genotype and its interaction with the local environment. In addition, traits expressed by the scion reflect rootstock genotype and how that rootstock is interacting with its environment seasonally and across years. To investigate rootstock x environment interaction on shoot systems in grafted grapevines we characterized comprehensive phenotypic variation in an experimental vineyard in Mount Vernon, Missouri, USA where the grapevine cultivar ‘Chambourcin’ is growing on its own roots and is grafted to three different rootstocks (‘1103P’, ‘3309C’, ‘SO4’).  This set of four combinations is replicated 72 times in a randomized block experimental design with an irrigation treatment. Over the course of three years we quantified leaf elemental concentration, leaf transcriptome, leaf metabolome and epigenome, among others. Analyses in the ‘Chambourcin’ vineyard reveal extensive and dynamic phenotypic variation in ‘Chambourcin’ that reflects complex interactions among rootstock genotype, irrigation, season, and year. Specific effects of rootstock genotype on gene expression and elemental concentration were detected and vary with season and year. Variation in ion concentrations is also influenced by leaf position along the vine. This comprehensive, multi-year project demonstrates the importance of root system variation for shoot system morphology and suggests future exploration of rootstock genotypic diversity might offer a novel source of variation for shoot system phenotypic manipulation.

Multi-mineral wine profiling and Artificial Intelligence: Implementing the signatures of each wine to train algorithms to meet the new challenges facing the wine industry

Multi-mineral wine profiling and artificial intelligence: implementing the signatures of each wine to train algorithms to meet the new challenges facing the wine industry. Although their quantity is minimal, minerals are essential elements in the composition of every wine. Their presence is the result of complex interactions between factors such as soil, vines, climate, topography, and viticultural practices, all influenced by the terroir. Each stage of the winemaking process also contributes to shaping the unique mineral and taste profile of each wine, giving each cuvée its distinctive characteristics.

Development of a new sustainable filtering media for wine and beer clarification and sterilisation

Different separation techniques are frequently used during vinification process. Nowadays, clarification and microbiological stabilization of wine or beer can be done using precoat filters or crossflow filters to remove yeast and bacteria. Kieselguhr powders are the most used filter aids for precoat filtration. Their crystalline structure and their pulverulent nature induce ecotoxicological risks when used. Moreover, regeneration and reuse of these filter aids is not efficient and the filtration waste requires cost effective retreatment.

Evaluation of intra-vineyard spatial and temporal variability of leaf area index using multispectral images obtained by satellite (Landsat 8, Sentinel-2) and unmanned aerial vehicle platforms

Estimation of vineyard leaf area index (LAI) is an important aspect for the winegrowers. However, tracking and monitoring are difficult tasks due to time constraints. Satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging have become a practical monitoring method for LAI. Nevertheless, for a proper LAI determination, the image’s spatial resolution is a key factor, since low-resolution images are incapable of distinguishing between adjacent vines due to the large area covered in each pixel, this leads to misinterpretation or generalisation of vineyard information.
