Modeling viticultural landscapes: a GIS analysis of the viticultural potential in the Rogue Valley of Oregon

The mineral composition of wine spirit (WS) is of relevant interest due to its potential effect on physicochemical stability, sensory characteristics, and safety.1 Calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) can form insoluble compounds, negatively affecting the WS clarity. Transition metals, e.g. Fe and copper (Cu), seem to play an important catalytic role on oxidation reactions involving phenolic compounds and other substrates for oxidation in WS

La maturité optimale est définie en fonction du style de vin désiré, qui est fonction du marché. Le sol et le climat ont un effet sur la typicité des vins. Le niveau qualitatif des raisins et des vins, et le potentiel pour obtenir différents styles de vin est déterminé par l’association des caractéristiques naturel du terroir et les technologies mises en

The grapes producing and wine making regions are différent in their use of agricultural, industrial or agroindustrial means. These means are quite often very original and/or specialised; and lately are also quite competitive. Such means are being defined with increased accuracy in the delimitation and definition of its characteristics (Paneque et al., 1996 a). Human action together with other Elements and Agents involved in the vine growing production (Reyner, 1989) over these means lead to agronomic systems with important characteristics. Finally, the transformation of the vine growing production, through different technologies (Fleet, 1992), results in the creation of products with a different acceptance and economical value in the market.

Agriculture worldwide is threatened by climate change. In particular, declining water resource availability combined with increasing water demand is a key challenge in many rainfed areas, where irrigation appears to be a straightforward adaptation option. In this context, assessing the impacts of irrigation adoption on farm yields and incomes is a necessary step to reflect on the impact of both ex-post and ex-ante policies.

The seminar will examine the complexities and prospects of genomic research on Vitis species, characterize by exceptionally high heterozygosity and common interspecific gene flow. The seminar will showcase case studies highlighting the critical role of diploid genome references in grape research, specifically in areas such as aroma development, disease resistance, and domestication traits. It will also address the emerging focus on pangenomes within the Vitis genus, particularly in the context of genetic studies on naturally interbreeding populations.
