Somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis: driving regeneration forces behind grapevine genetic transformation

Abstract

Cell pluripotency, enables the possibility to change the cellular fate, stimulating the reorganization and the formation of new vegetative structures from differentiated somatic tissues. Although several factors are implicated in determining the success of a breeding program through the use of modern biotechnological techniques, the definition of a specific regeneration strategy is fundamental to speed up and make these applications feasible. Different plant growth regulators are available to exploit cell plasticity, arousing the production of somatic embryo-related structures or adventitious meristems which will subsequently regenerate their root system. Despite most of the scientific literature on vitis spp. In this matter having been mainly oriented on the somatic embryogenesis regeneration pathway, the provision of newly juvenile tissues could become a suitable starting explant for the adventitious shoot regeneration.  Vitis vinifera wine and grapes cultivars as well as vitis hybrid genotypes used as rootstock have been studied regarding their regeneration potential previous and after the agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Adventitious shoot regeneration from cotyledons and hypocotyls obtained from somatic embryos, led to the obtainment and selection of several transformed lines, expressing the nptii (neomycin phosphotransferase ii) and the egfp (enhanced green fluorescent protein), opening a supplementary opportunity to foster the transformed cell regeneration competence.

Embriogenesi somatica e organogenesi: processi di rigenerazione essenziali per la trasformazione genetica in vite

La pluripotenza cellulare consente di cambiare il destino cellulare, stimolando la riorganizzazione e la formazione di nuove strutture vegetative a partire da tessuti somatici già differenziati. Sebbene molti fattori siano coinvolti nella determinazione del successo di un programma di miglioramento genetico basato sull’impiego di moderne tecniche biotecnologiche, la definizione di una specifica strategia di rigenerazione in vitro è fondamentale nella velocizzazione e nel rendere tali applicazioni biotecnologiche attuabili. Differenti sostanze ormonali sono disponibili per sfruttare la plasticità cellulare, stimolando la produzione di embrioni somatici o meristemi avventizi che successivamente rigenereranno il loro apparato radicale. Nonostante la letteratura scientifica in materia di rigenerazione in vitro di vitis spp, sia prevalentemente orientata nel sistema di rigenerazione per embriogenesi somatica, la disponibilità di nuovi tessuti giovanili può essere un’efficace risorsa da impiegare come espianto iniziale per la rigenerazione avventizia di germogli. Varietà di uva da vino e da tavola, nonché genotipi ibridi di vitis, generalmente usati come portinnesti sono stati studiati per la loro potenzialità di rigenerazione prima e dopo la trasformazione genetica mediata da agrobacterium. La rigenerazione avventizia di germogli da cotiledoni e ipocotili, ottenuti da embrioni somatici, ha portato alla selezione di alcune linee geneticamente trasformate, esprimenti il gene nptii (neomyicin phosphotransferase ii) e il gene egfp (enhanced-green fluorescent protein), aprendo la possibilità di favorire la competenza alla rigenerazione delle cellule trasformate.

Use of fumaric acid on must or during alcoholic fermentation

Fumaric acid has been approved by the OIV in 2021 for its application on wine to control the growth and activity of lactic acid bacteria. Fumaric acid is currently being evaluated by the OIV as an acidifier of must and wine. Investigations during the 2023 vintage provided further information on its use on must or during AF, thus completing information provided during the previous vintage.

Un jour, l’AOD (Appellation d’Origine viticole Durable), fusion de l’origine et de la durabilité

The evolution of wine quality issues is historically expressed by the passage from wine quality (what is a wine?) to wine quality (what is a good wine?). Perhaps the next question could be: what is a good sustainable wine? To contribute to reflection on this theme, it may be worthwhile to undertake an exercise in prospective fiction, which we have identified in the hypothesis of the AOD, the “appellation d’origine durable”, a scenario we will develop in the light of developments in the wine industry and the regulation on geographical indications.

Distinctive flavour or taint? The case of smoky characters in wine

Forest fires in the vicinity of vineyards have significantly increased in the last decade and are a concern for grapegrowers and winemakers in many wine producing countries. The fires cause smoke drift throughout vineyards which cannot be avoided and may result in the production of wines described as ‘smoke tainted’. Such wines are characterized by undesirable sensory characters described as ‘smoky’, ‘burnt’, ‘ash’ aromas and flavours, and also may cause a lingering, unpleasant ashy aftertaste [1; 2].

Pierce’s disease of grapevines, a new threat to the wine industry in Southern Europe

Pierce’s disease (PD) is considered a potential threat to european viticulture (EPPO a2 list of pathogens since 1981). In the usa, infections caused by the vector-borne bacterium xylella fastidiosa have caused recurrent damage to vineyards in California and the southeastern states. However, vineyards in Europe have remained free of PD until recently, when it was first detected on the island of Mallorca in 2017. The reasons for the absence of PD in continental Europe have not been convincingly explained.
