Methyl jasmonate versus nano methyl jasmonate: effects on anthocyanins mature evolution in monastrell grapes

Abstract

AIM: The climate change is afecting particulary to the South of Spain, with high temperatures. It is important to develop new strategies in order to mantain the quality of wines. One of this strategies is the use of elicitors which increase the defense in plants and also increase the content of secondary metabolites, such as anthocyanins . On the other hand, the use of use of nanoparticules joined to methyl jasmonate could diminish the concentrations applied in plants but obtaining similar effects in Monastrell anthocyanins profile as using only methyl jasmonate.

METHODS: The treatments were carried out in an experimental vineyard of Monastrell located in South East of Spain, foliar application of each treatament, by triplicate, in verasion and a week later. The differents treataments were i) control, ii) methyl jasmonate and iii) nano methyl jasmonate (nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite doped with methyl jasmonate). A study of mature evolution was done, the samples were taken at the previous moment of the firts time treataments and every ten days and finaly in the moment of harvest. The analysis were performance by HPLC following the Gil Muñoz et al. (1) procedure.

RESULTS: The treatment with methyl jasmonate increased the anthocyanins composition in the differents points of maturation and also in the harvest moment. Similar results were obtained in the treatment with methyl jasmonate and hydroxyapatite doped with methyl jasmonate.

CONCLUSIONS

The used of nanotechnology in the treatments with methyl jasmonate would allow to reduce the dose of this elicitor obtaining similar results, in the way to reduce costs and contribute to a sustainable agriculture.

Evolution of chemical pattern related to Valpolicella aroma ‘terroir’ during bottle aging

Valpolicella is a famous Italian wine-producing region. Wines produced in its different sub-regions are believed to be aromatically different, as confirmed by recent studies in our laboratory. Aging is a very common practice in Valpolicella and it is required by the appellation regulation for periods up to four years require wines. The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution, during aging, of volatile chemical composition of Valpolicella wines obtained from grapes harvested in different sub-regions during different vintages.

Aspect juridiques des terroirs

Le “terroir” est dans tous les discours, les articles, les étiquettes et les publicités. Le voca­ble est en situation d’utilisation euphorique. Indiscutablement l’emploi historique est agri­cole, puis viticole, mais il n’est jamais juridique.

Significance of factors making Riesling an iconic grape variety

Riesling is the iconic grape variety of Germany and accounts for 23% of the German viticulture acreage, which comprises 45% of the worldwide Riesling plantings. Riesling wines offer a wide array of styles from crisp sparkling wines to highly concentrated and sweet Trockenbeerenauslese or Icewines. However, its thin berry skin makes Riesling more vulnerable to detrimental environmental threats than other white wine varieties.  

A population genetic study of Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris Gmelin based on 3.000 individuals from 20 countries

Until the 19th century, the wild form of cultivated grapevines (vitis vinifera l. subsp. sylvestris gmelin, v. sylvestris) was ubiquitous in many european and west asian regions. However, many factors like deforestation, the intensification of agriculture, or the introduction of several pests and pathogens decimated its presence in these growing sites, and natural populations are now mostly restricted to river-bank forests and creeks with specific soil and climate conditions. in fact, v. sylvestris is now considered an endangered subspecies that is protected by law in many european countries to prevent its loss.
