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.

Energy optimization of the Charmat-Martinotti refermentation process

The european union has estimated that energy consumption for wine production is about 1,750 million kwh per year, of which 500 million kwh is attributable to italy. In recent years, Italy has emerged as the world’s leading wine producer with about 50 million hectoliters per year. About 20 percent (9.8 million hectoliters) of Italian wine is marketed after refermentation according to the Charmat-Martinotti method.

An innovative 21st century frost alert system for an age-old viticulture challenge

Damage during the budbreak period due to spring season frosts remains one of the most significant weather-related challenges to viticulture around the world. For example, in 2021, €2bn of estimated damage was reported in france while >50% of vineyards were badly affected in the UK in 2017.

Pharmacological basis of the J-shaped curve in biological effects of wine

The classical pharmacological model assumes that the effect of a drug is proportional to the fraction of receptors occupied by the drug. In the simplest circumstances, the relationship between dose of a drug and response, when plotted on a logarithmic scale for drug concentration, is described by a sigmoidal curve. It presumes the existence of a threshold dose, below which no biological effect appears, and a maximal response in the form of a plateau, when a further increase in the dose of drug has no effect.

Enological technics to enhance the aromatic qualities of white spirits 

Eugenol has been identified as a quality marker in armagnac white spirits. In particular, those produced from the Baco blanc variety, the only hybrid variety authorised in a French PDO, bred since 1898 from noah (vitis labrusca x v.riparia) and folle blanche (v. Vinifera). The varietal compound of Baco blanc, eugenol has many original properties.

Wine industry, digital transformation, and sustainability: a systematic literature 

This paper aims to (i) identify the state of the art regarding digital transformation in the transition to sustainability in the wine industry, (ii) analyze the adoption of digital technologies at different stages of the winemaking process and their contribution to the triple bottom line of sustainability, and (iii) present a research agenda that facilitates the development of the field, providing contributions to both literature and managerial practice.
