Bacterial community in different wine appellations – biotic and abiotic interaction in grape berry and its impact on Botrytis cinerea development

Abstract

An in-depth knowledge on the conditions that trigger Botrytis disease and the microbial community associated with the susceptibility/resistance to it could led to the anticipation and response to the Botrytis emergence and severity. Therefore, the present study pretends to establish links between biotic and abiotic factors and the presence/abundance of B. cinerea. Several grape varieties from 4 different wine appellations in France and Spain have been studied at different maturity stages to analyse: 1) B. cinerea abundance (established by qPCR), 2) grape composition parameters (comprising water activity measuring, exudates composition, phenologic stage, gluconic acid, calcium, etc), and 3) grape berries microbial community diversity and composition (using 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing).Preliminary analysis of the results obtained through 16S rRNA Next Generation Sequencing revealed differences in microbial richness and bacterial composition between the vineyards. Both alpha and beta diversities correlated with fruit maturity, where grapes at harvest stage showed significantly higher richness and a dissimilar bacterial composition. In addition, bacterial community structure differed between wine appellations. The study will increase significantly our understanding of the ecology of microbial associated to different grape varieties and viticulture areas. Additionally, it will generate knowledge about the factors.

The effects of perennial cover crop management on soil temperature and vine water status

The implications of perennial cover crop management on vine vigor and yield have been well documented. However, whereas multiple studies show that cover crop management affects grapevine dry matter production, water, and nutrient status, the specific effects of a new hybrid perennial cover crop on soil temperature and its relationship to vine water status in vineyards has not been explored. This study will compare 3 different perennial cover crop combinations and tillage practices with a no-till seeding of a new hybrid perennial, Poa bulbosa (Pb).

Phenotypical impact of a floral somatic mutation in the cultivar Listán Prieto

The accession Criolla Chica Nº2 (CCN2) is catalogued as a floral mutation of cultivar Criolla Chica (synonym for cv. Listán Prieto). Contrary to what is observed in hermaphrodite-cultivated varieties like Criolla Chica, CCN2 exhibits a prevalence of masculinized flowers. Aiming to study the incidence and phenotypical implications of this mutation, CCN2 plants were deeply studied using Criolla Chica ‘Ballista’ (CCBA) as control plants. For each CCN2 plant, two inflorescences per shoot were sampled and segmented into proximal, mid and distal positions, relative to the pedicel. Flowers were observed through magnifying lens and classified according to OIV151 descriptor.
