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.

Three Nebbiolo clone anthocyanin profile as affected by environmental conditions

Vitis vinifera ‘Nebbiolo’ cultivar is a 3’-subsituted anthocyanin prevalent wine variety. It is grown in North-West Italy for the production of high quality ageing wines. In the present work berry skin anthocyanin amounts and profiles of the clones CVT 308, CVT 423 and CVT 142 were studied in 2004 and in 2005 in four environmentally different locations of North-West Italy: Donnas (steep mountain area), Monforte (hilly area, with a pH of 8.1), Vezza (hilly area, with a pH of 8.2) and Lessona (plain area, with a pH of 4.8).

Effect of scion-rootstock combinations on the performance of a near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy method for determining vine water status

In the context of sustainable viticulture, modern and efficient techniques to determine water status are required to optimize irrigation practices. Proximal techniques such as thermography and spectroscopy have shown promising results. When these techniques are incorporated into mobile systems is possible to evaluate the water status on-the-go, offering the possibility to generate variability maps. However, in most cases, complex protocols of data acquisition and analysis are required. Also, the inherent physiological behaviour of the plants under certain water stress conditions needs to be considered. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of scion-rootstock combinations on the performance of a predefined plant-based method based on proximal near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.

Water relations of woody perennial plant species

Field irrigation experiments were performed on young « Nonpareil » almond trees, mature « Bartlett » pear trees and mature « Pinot Noir » grapevines, to determine the relation of a number of alternative measures of plant water status (predawn and midday stem and leaf water potential), to a number of indices of plant physiological activity (leaf conductance, vegetative growth and fruit growth and composition).
