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.

Management of varietal thiols in white and rosé wines using biotechnical tools

The present study evaluates the effect of prefermentative maceration enzymes and yeast autolysate on the concentration of conjugated precursors and volatile thiols, respectively.Sauvignon blanc and Merlot grapes underwent skin-contact maceration with or without pectolytic enzymes, for the production of white and rosé wines

Le zonage viticole en Italie. État actuel et perspectives futures

Over the past few decades, viticultural research has made numerous contributions which have made it possible to better understand the behavior of the vine as well as its response to the conditions imposed on it by the environment and agronomic practices. However, these results have only rarely been used in the practical management of vineyards because the research has been carried out using partial experimental models where reality is only represented by a few factors which are sometimes even made more complex by the introduction of elements foreign to the existing situation and difficult to apply to production (varieties, methods of cultivation, management techniques, etc.). To these reasons, one could add a low popularization of the results obtained, as well as the difficulty of implementing the scientific contributions, which does not allow the different production systems to fully express their potential. This limit of viticultural research can only be exceeded by the design of integrated projects designed directly on and for the territory. Indeed, only the integrated evaluation of a viticultural agro-system, which can be achieved through zoning, makes it possible to measure, or even attribute to each element of the system, the weight it exerts on the quality of the wine.

Market entry strategies in the U.S. alcohol distribution: The case of French wine exporters

This study examines the different strategies adopted by wine exporters located in France for penetrating international alcohol distribution networks in the U.S. market (and to a lesser extent the Canadian market). Grounded in the Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing literature (Ellegaard and Medlin, 2018), this study adopts a framework integrating a ‘Stakeholder’ approach for understanding the logics behind exporters’ strategies to penetrate the alcohol distribution networks (wholesalers, importers, alcohol monopolies).
