Grape variety identification and detection of terroir effects from satellite images

Abstract

Satellite images are used to determine the reflectance dependency to wavelength in different grape varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay). The terroir influence is investigated through study of vineyards in France, Brazil and Chile. Statistical techniques (ANOVA, cluster and discriminant analysis) are applied. Results indicate that there are consistent spectral features, mainly in the near infrared, which can lead to variety identification. These features are affected by terroir effects, since the reflectance spectra showed similarities between regions, especially for Cabernet Sauvignon; phenological factors further contribute to variety differentiation. An additional search of terroir effects is made on some plots of Sangiovese, located in Tuscany and south Brazil; in this case, differences in spectral features are more important, suggesting that clonal differences may also play a role. It is concluded that remote sensing data are effective to terroir and grape variety studies.

Elicitors used as a tool to increase stilbenes in grapes and wines

The economic importance of grapevine as a crop plant makes Vitis vinífera a good model system to study the improvement of the nutraceutical properties of food products (Vezulli et al. 2007). Stilbenes in general, and trans-resveratrol in particular, have been reported to be responsible for various beneficial effects. Resveratrol´s biological properties include antibacteria and antifungal effects, as well as cardioprotective, neuroprotective and anticâncer actions (Guerrero et al. 2010 ). Stilbenes can be induced by biotic and abiotic elicitors since they are phytoalexins (Bavaresco et al. 2001).

Haplotype-Resolved genome assembly of the Microvine

Developing a tractable genetic engineering and gene editing system is an essential tool for grapevine. We initiated a plant transformation and biotechnology program at Oregon State University using the grape microvine system (V. vinifera) in 2018 to interrogate gene-to-trait relationships using traditional genetic engineering and gene editing. The microvine model is also used for nanomaterial-assisted RNP, DNA, and RNA delivery. Most reference genomes and annotations for grapevine are collapsed assemblies of homologous chromosomes and do not represent the specific microvine cultivar ‘043023V004’ under study at our institution.

Unveiling the impact of seasonal weather and fungicide spraying on vineyard autochthonous yeast populations: implications for Riesling wine quality

Fungicide spraying is a common viticultural practice that occurs throughout the growth season that protects developing vines and bunches against diseases caused by fungi or oomycetes.
