Les micro-zones et les technologies traditionnelles de la viniculture en Géorgie

Abstract

[English version below]

La Géorgie est un pays d’une tradition très ancienne de viticulture et de viniculture. Là, dans les micro zones spécifiques, en précisant le lieu on produit de différents types du vin d’une histoire de plusieurs siècles, distingués par leurs caractéristiques, portant des signes originaux (vins de table sec, demi-sec, demi-sucré, mousseux, Kakhétien, Imérétien). Leur production est favorisée par l’unité des tels phénomènes associés entre elles harmonieusement comme l’espèce, le terroir, le climat et les technologies.

Georgia is one of the oldest viticulture and oenology country, where in Terroir regions is produced long secular history, qualitative different, original dispirited (table dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, sparkling, Khatetian, Imeruli) wine. Producing such kind of wines is encouraged by harmonic confluence of species, soil, climatic and technological (making in Qvevri) and totality of phenomenon.

What metabolomics teaches us about wine shelf life

The metabolomics era started about 22 years ago, and wine was one of the first foodstuff subjects of analysis and investigation by this technique.

Optimization of in vitro establishment of grapevine varieties for fast micropropagation 

Micropropagation is an important alternative to conventional methods of plant propagation. The objective of this study was to optimize a protocol for in vitro micropropagation of selected grapevine hybrids (H19 and H20) that are included in our breeding program. For the sprouting initiation experiment, nodal cuttings with only one axillary bud from two hybrids were separated, disinfected, and cultivated in 50% Murashige Skoog nutrient medium (½ MS) and Woody Plant Medium (WPM), adding 4.4 µM benzyladenine (BA) in both mediums.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) to move towards more environmentally friendly winegrowing

As six on the nine planetary boundaries have already been crossed, putting our safe life on Earth at risk (Rockström et al., 2024) and agriculture is significantly responsible for it (Campbell et al., 2017), viticulture, faces the challenge of reducing its environmental impacts through fundamental changes to its practices.

The 1000 grapevine genomes project: Cataloguing Australia’s grapevine germplasm

Grapevine cultivars can be unequivocally typed by both physical differences (ampelography) and genetic tests. However due to their very similar characteristics, the identification of clones within a cultivar relies on the accurate tracing of supply records to the point of origin. Such records are not always available or reliable, particularly for older accessions. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides the most highly detailed methodology for defining grapevine cultivars and more importantly, this can be extended to differentiating clones within those cultivars.
