A comparative analysis of regions worldwide with Pinot noir

Abstract

This study examines the growing season climates of selected wine regions worldwide that have significant areas under Pinot noir. It uses the normalized climatic data for the 1971-2000 period to analyze those climatic factors that are influential on the production of quality wines in cool climate regions and provides a comparison with those of Burgundy. The results show that the regions fall into broad groups based on various combinations of climatic criteria, but principally those that pertain to the daytime maximum temperature, precipitation totals, the diurnal temperature range and the mean temperature during the ripening period.

A DNA-free editing approach to help viticulture sustainability: dual editing of DMR6-1 and DMR6-2 enhances resistance to downy mildew 

The sustainability of viticulture hinges on maintaining quality and yield while reducing pesticide use. Promising strides in this direction involve the development of clones with enhanced disease tolerance, particularly through the knockout of plant susceptibility genes. Knocking out of Downy Mildew Resistant 6 (DMR6) led to increased levels of endogenous salicylic acid (SA), a regulator of immunity, resulting in enhanced tolerance to Downy Mildew (DM) and other diseases in various crops.

AIM: In a recent study, it was determined that the mid-ripening period is the most suitable for the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJ), benzothiadiazole BTH and MeJ+BTH on Monastrell grapes, to favor maximum accumulation of phenolic compounds at the time of harvest. However, the increase in the anthocyanin content of
