Exploring high throughput secondary trait phenomics to improve grapevine breeding

Abstract

Modern grapevine breeding programs have overcome many challenges using genomic selection, which has allowed breeders to make targeted selections at earlier stages in the breeding process. However, the cost of genetic testing may present a burden for some programs, and markers often struggle to accurately predict quantitative traits. Recent advances in high throughput, high-dimensional data have provoked investigation into the use of high-dimensional phenomics as a low-cost addition to the grape breeder’s toolkit that may offer advantages in predicting quantitative traits. High-dimensional secondary trait (HDST) data has been employed in annual crops for prediction of agriculturally important traits such as yield. To explore the potential of HDST data in grapes, 1618 grapevine seeds and seedlings from six populations were evaluated using hyperspectral and high-dimensional HSV color data.  We show that HDST data are variable within seed populations. To start, we explore correlations of HDST data with early life stage traits, demonstrating potential to develop predictive models. Our work utilizes low-cost, high throughput data which has the potential to supplement genomic selection, allowing breeders to make decisions at the earliest stage in the breeding cycle. This work lays a foundation for the use of HDST data from seeds to predict traits in grapevine.

Simplifying the measurement of different forms of cu in wines and strategies for efficient removal

Copper (Cu) is known to substantially impact wine stability through oxidative, reductive or colloidal phenomena. Recent work has shown that Cu exists predominantly in a sulfide-bound form, which may act as a potential source of sulfidic off-odours in wine and hence contribute to reductive flavours

Atmospheric modeling: a tool to identify locations best suited for vine cultivation. Preliminary results in the Stellenbosch region

The choice of sites for viticulture depends on natural environmental factors, particularly climate, as grapevines have specific climatic requirements for optimum physiological performance and berry quality achievement. In the Stellenbosch wine-producing region, the complex topography and the proximity of the ocean create a variety of topoclimates resulting in different growth conditions for vines within short distances.

Influence of protective colloids on tartrate stability, polysaccharide contents and volatile compound profile of a white wine

The tartaric salts precipitation is one of the main issues regarding wine instability 1. In addition to the well-known and deeply studied phenomena of potassium hydrogentartrate precipitation (KHT), the last decade has been increased the phenomena of calcium tartrate (CaT) precipitation, that is a concern for the wine industry 2.

Geospatial technologies in spatially defined viticulture: case study of a vineyard with Agiorgitiko variety in Koutsi, Nemea, Greece

Geospatial technologies have significant contribution to viticulture, especially in small-scale vineyards, which require precise management. Geospatial data collected by modern technologies, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and satellite imagery, can be processed by modern software and easily be stored and transferred to GIS environments, highlighting important information about the health of vine plants, the yield of grapes and the wine, especially in wine-making varieties. The identification of field variability is very important, particularly for the production of high quality wine. Modern geospatial data management technologies are used to achieve an easy and effortless localization of the fields’ variability.
