Learning from remote sensing data: a case study in the Trentino region 

This essay was aimed to describe the clonal diversity of Oenococcus oeni in the malolactic fermentation of the carbonic maceration (CM) winemaking. The free and the pressed liquids from CM were sampled and compared to the wine from a standard winemaking with previous destemming and crushing (DC) of grapes [1]. O. oeni strain typification was performed by PFGE as González-Arenzana et al. described (2014) [2]. Results showed that 13 genotypes, referred as to letters, were distinguished from the 49 isolated strains, meaning the genotype “a” the 27%, the “b” the 14%, the “c” the 12%, the “d and e” the 10 % each other, and the remaining ones less than the 8% each one.

Wine industry has to develop new strategies to reduce the negative impact of global climate change in wine quality while trying to mitigate its own contribution to this climate change. The term “ecosystem services”, whose use has been recently increasing, refers to the benefits that human beings can obtain from the interactions between the different living beings that coexist in an environment or system. The management of biodiversity in the vineyard has a positive impact on this crop. It has recently been reported that practices such as plant cover can reduce the occurrence of pests, increase pollination of the vine, improve plant performance1 and affect the phenolic content of grapes.2

Achieving disease resistance in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) without compromising plant growth is a significant challenge for viticulture. Astrategy to reduce susceptibility to Downy Mildew (DM) is through dual inactivation of the salicylic acid (SA) hydroxylases VviDMR6-1 and VviDMR6-2 by gene editing, which leads to elevated endogenous SAlevels and enhanced immunity.

Precision viticulture consists in using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) to implement more specific and better targeted technical vine practices. With proxy-detection

Over the past 30 years, systematic ampelographic and genetic research in Croatia has led to the identification and collection of approximately 130 grapevine cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) considered to be indigenous.
