Genetic and ampelographic identification of different minority varieties known as ‘Monastel’ and ‘Maturana’ in Rioja (Spain)

Abstract

The ‘Monastel’ and ‘Maturana’ varieties were grown in Rioja (Spain) during the XIX century, but they almost disappeared. Nowadays some accessions are preserved in a germplasm bank of minority varieties, because they were recovered within a research project. The identification of these accessions is the main objective of this work, using microsatellite markers and ampelographic description. Six different varieties have been found within the group of eight accessions: ‘Castets’, ‘Maturana Blanca’, ‘Maturana Tinta’, ‘Morate’, ‘Moristel’ and ‘Vidadillo’. Two new synonyms have been proved: ‘Maturana Tinta de Navarrete’–‘Castets’ and ‘Morato’–‘Morate’. One homonym has been clarified: ‘Maturana Tinta de Navarrete’ is different from ‘Maturana Tinta’ or ‘Trousseau’.

Risk of late frost events in viticulture – temperature trends, phenological observations and spatial analysis based on digital terrain models in Franconia/Germany

In the course of global warming a general decrease of frost days per year and in spring can be stated. However, in viticulture this matter of fact doesn´t lead to a reduction of the risk of damages to grapevines by late spring frost events.

Estimating leaf area and leaf area index in VSP trained grapevines under different management systems (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Riesling)

The aim of this study was to validate and implement different non-destructive methods of leaf area and leaf area index (LAI) determination in VSP trained grapevines (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Riesling) in a field trial comparing different management systems (i.e. integrated (GAP) and two different organic (European Union Regulation 834/07) management systems).
