Plastid genomics of Vitis vinifera L. for understanding the molecular basis of  grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) domestication

Abstract

Over the past decade, numerous scientific studies have utilized advanced next-generation plastid DNA technologies to assess the genetic diversity of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) worldwide, aiming for a deeper understanding the possible molecular mechanisms of domestication process. For such studies, it is essential to include both cultivated varieties (Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera) and their wild ancestors (Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris) from all potential distribution and domestication sites, as only by comparing the genetic profiles of cultivated and wild specimens can the potential sites of domestication be identified. The main goal of the presented research was the next-generation sequencing (NGS) of complete plastid genomes mainly from European and Mediterranean wild grapevines, as well as cultivated varieties from Europe and Georgia (South Caucasus), and American and Asian Vitis species, followed by in silico genome assembly and phylogenetic analyses. The results revealed that plastomes of European and Mediterranean wild grapevines predominantly exhibit the so-called GTA haplotype; Portuguese wild grapevines exhibit a new type of ATA plastid haplotype; Plastomes of Asian and American species are distinct from those of European and Mediterranean grapevines and the Rkatsiteli haplotype (AAA) remains genetically unique among the plastomes sequenced to date.

Exploring diversified service offerings in the Spanish wine industry

The spanish wine industry stands at a crossroads, transitioning from a traditional emphasis on wine production to a landscape increasingly characterized by diversified service offerings. This paper delves into the nuances of servitization within spanish wineries, investigating the determinants of servitization and the impact of these diversified services on revenue streams. The paper posits hypotheses concerning the influence of various factors, such as winery size, location, market orientation, ownership structure, market competition, regulatory environment, market demand, firm capabilities, owner characteristics, and firm age, on the adoption of diversified service offerings in spanish wineries. The methodology involves comprehensive regression analysis to unravel the drivers of servitization within this context.

Gevrey-Chambertin : les enjeux d’un territoire vitivinicole locale à l’échelle mondiale

Grapevine downy mildew development as affected by chitosan spray treatments and metabolomics implications

Chitosan has been shown to enhance grapevine tolerance toward downy mildew while reducing the environmental impact of traditional protection products.

Critical investigation on additions to improve the sensory characteristics of dealcoholized wine

The demand for dealcoholized wine has been progressively increasing in recent years. Moreover, the attention for such products is probably increasing even more. Due to that increasing demand and market awareness the legal authorities are about changing rules for that products. Also, at OIV level, these products are being intensively discussed for certain time. The production of dealcoholized wine bases on wine as initial product. This wine is then reduced by physical methods to an alcohol content of less than 0.5% vol., or in other words, to less than 4g/l of alcohol. There are various technologies are possible for producing dealcoholized wine (Schmitt and Christmann 2019).

Armenia: historical origin of domesticated grapevine

The Armenian highlands are located on the northern border of western asia and stretch up to the caucasus from the north. Throughout human history, country has played an important role in connecting the civilizations of europe and the near east. The recent large-scale study about the dual domestication origin and evolution of grapes approved that in the Armenian highlands human and grapevine stories are interlaced through centuries and roots of grapevine domestication are found deep in the pleistocene, ending 11.5 thousand years ago. Findings of this study confirmed that glacial episodes distinguish wild grapes into eastern and western ecotypes around 200-400 ka.
