Elementi in traccia e ultratraccia nell’uva: possibili applicazioni ai fini della tracciabilità geografica

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel presente studio si è ricercata la possibilità di associare l’uva al territorio mediante parametri chimici indipendenti da variabili climatiche ed antropiche.
Nei Colli Euganei, la presenza di vitigni allevati su terreni con un’elevata eterogeneità geochimica in un areale ristretto, ha permesso di minimizzare tali variabili oggetto di disturbo ai fini della comprensione dei processi di mobilità degli elementi dal suolo alla vite, in funzione del luogo di coltivazione. Sono stati prelevati campioni di suolo ed uva provenienti da aree differenti, determinate le concentrazioni di alcuni elementi in traccia ed ultratraccia e ricercate possibili correlazioni in funzione dell’areale di allevamento.

In this study we sought the possibility of linking the grape vine to the territory by using chemical parameters not related to anthropogenic climatic variables. In the Euganenan Hills, the presence of vines grown on soils with high geochemical heterogeneity in a narrow range, allowed us to minimize these variables usually interfering with understanding the process of mobility of elements from soil to vine, depending on the site of cultivation. Soil samples and grapes from different areas have been collected and have been determined the concentrations of certain trace and ultra trace elements and have been sought possible correlations according to the breeding area.

Exploiting somaclonal variability to increase drought stress tolerance in grapevine 

Global warming has enhanced the frequency and severity of drought events, hence calling for a better management of water resources in the vineyard and for an improvement of breeding platforms. Somatic embryogenesis (SE) (i.e. the initiation of embryos from somatic tissues) can spontaneously generate new genetic variability, which results from genetic mutations, changes in epigenetic marks, or phenotypic alterations.
This study was tailored to test whether vines in vitro regenerated through SE (i.e. somaclones), can tolerate water deprivation better than the mother plant.
