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.

Use of sensors/biosensors for detection of food safety parameters in wine

The implementation of food safety assurance systems in wineries involves ensuring that the wines produced do not pose a risk to consumer health and are therefore free from harmful substances, such as those that may be incorporated during the production process (pesticides, additives, etc.), allergens or mycotoxins.

Evaluation of Acıkara (Vitis vinifera L.) native grape variety of anatolia for red wine production potential

The acıkara grape variety, a nearly forgotten native black variety in Anatolia/Turkey, has recently gained interest in its potential for producing high-quality wine from producers and consumers. The potential of producing high-quality red wine from the Acıkara grape variety (vitis vinifera), which is cultivated on the elmalı/antalya in the highland (1100 m altitude) of western mediterranean region, was investigated, and the suitability of the wine’s characteristics associated with high-quality red wine was determined.

Three new Apulian seedless varieties available for the table grape supply chain

The table grape industry in Europe is undergoing significant changes. For instance, in Italy, the national register of vine varieties was established in 1969, and since then, many varieties of table grapes have been registered. In the first thirty years, from 1969 to 1999, 62 seeded and 24 seedless varieties were registered. In the subsequent period, from 2000 to the present day, 23 seeded varieties and 99 seedless varieties were registered.

Contribution of grape seeds to evolution of acetaldehyde, pigments and tannins reactive towards salivary proteins of red wine over time

This study investigated the impact of the gsk/gse ratio on the evolution of acetaldehyde and of major phenolic compounds of aglianico wine in wine like solution and real wine. Four model solutions and the correspondant control wines were prepared. The natural weight ratio between grape skins and seeds was determined on the real grapes, and a control wine was obtained from those.

Exploring the potential of Hanseniaspora vineae for quality wines production

Traditionally, non-saccharomyces yeasts were deemed undesirable in winemaking, for this reason, it is a common practice to add sulphites to prevent their proliferation during the initial stages of vinification. However, the current research on yeast diversity has unveiled numerous non-saccharomyces strains possessing advantageous traits that enrich the sensory profile of wines. The genus hanseniaspora is often associated with wine fermentation and is also commonly found on grapes.
