Nematode vectors, grape fanleaf virus (GFLV) incidence and free virus vine plants obtaining in “Condado de Huelva” vineyards zone

Abstract

The « Condado de Huelva » Registered Appellation Origin Mark (RAOM) is located in the Province of Huelva, in the southwest of Andalucía (Spain), being limited by the Atlantic Ocean and the Province of Sevilla. « Zalema », a white high productive grapevine plant is its major cultivar. The predominant rootstocks used are « Rupestris du Lot », « Castel 196-17 », « Couderc 161-49 », Couderc 33-09 », « Richter 110 » and « Millardet 41-B ». Traditionally, « Zalema » cv. has been dedicated to the elaboration of amber, bouquet-flavoured wines and in the last years mainly to young, fruit-flavoured white table wines. The presence and distribution of Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) and Xiphinema index and X. italiae, the main nematode-vectors of GFLV, were determined by ELISA and soil analysis, respectively. Samples were collected according to a stratified random model. The number and distribution of the samples were related to the size of each area (county) of the RAOM and dispersion of the results represented by the standard deviation (S.D.), being 2.500 and 210 the total vines and soil samples analysed in two years in the 16 counties considered. From the results, an erratic distribution of healthy plants was found, ranging from 37% (63% of infected plants) in the most attacked county to 87% of free-virus plants in the less affected. The average was close to 27%, considering the surface of vineyards and incidence in each county.

There were also high variations in the nematodes distribution, existing counties without presence of them and others with high number of populations. In average, a 6.2% of soil samples with X. index and 20.5% with X. italiae were detected. There was no relationship between the number of nematodes and the number of GLFV-infected plants in each county. Nevertheless, if the nematode free zones are not considered, the results indicate a small but appreciable relationship. The use of non-controlled GFLV-infected scions for grafting was considered as the most important way for virus transmission.The in vitro culture of apical meristems was a good method for the obtaining of free-virus plant material, reaching even a 100% of healthy plants and the non-infected plant material grew better in vitro than the infected one. When this free-GFLV plant material was used as scion for grafting in field, an increase of plant growth and production was obtained.

Impact of GoLo technology on the aroma profile of red and white wines after total and partial dealcoholisation

Wine dealcoholisation has been practised since the early 1900s and has gained importance due to climate change and shifting consumer preferences for lower-alcohol beverages. Rising temperatures are accelerating grape ripening, increasing sugar content and, consequently, raising the alcohol strength of wines.

Anthocyanin profile is differentially affected by high temperature, elevated CO2 and water deficit in Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) clones

Anthocyanin potential of grape berries is an important quality factor in wine production. Anthocyanin concentration and profile differ among varieties but it also depends on the environmental conditions, which are expected to be greatly modified by climate change in the future. These modifications may significantly modify the biochemical composition of berries at harvest, and thus wine typicity. Among the diverse approaches proposed to reduce the potential negative effects that climate change may have on grape quality, genetic diversity among clones can represent a source of potential candidates to select better adapted plant material for future climatic conditions. The effects of individual and combined factors associated to climate change (increase of temperature, rise of air CO2 concentration and water deficit) on the anthocyanin profile of different clones of Tempranillo that differ in the length of their reproductive cycle were studied. The aim was to highlight those clones more adapted to maintain specific Tempranillo typicity in the future. Fruit-bearing cuttings were grown in controlled conditions under two temperatures (ambient temperature versus ambient temperature + 4ºC), two CO2 levels (400 ppm versus 700 ppm) and two water regimes (well-watered versus water deficit), both in combination or independently, in order to simulate future climate change scenarios. Elevated temperature increased anthocyanin acylation, whereas elevated CO2 and water deficit favoured the accumulation of malvidin derivatives, as well as the acylation and tri-hydroxylation level of anthocyanins. Although the changes in anthocyanin profile observed followed a common pattern among clones, such impact of environmental conditions was especially noticeable in one of the most widely distributed Tempranillo clones, the accession RJ43.

Grape composition and wine quality of Muscat Hamburg cultivar after a specific inactivated dry yeast application as adaptation strategy to climate change

In a climate change context, the management of Mediterranean vineyards should be adapted to the new environmental conditions. Predictive models underline that in the future the most of the Mediterranean vineyard regions is expected to experience further warming events producing challenges in ripening balanced fruit. It is already registered that in warm and dry summers, the ripening process is faster and the balance between phenolic and technological (sugar) maturity may not be the desirable. This study investigates the use of specific inactivated yeast derivatives sprayed on the entire canopies of field grown cv Muscat Hamburg vines.

Vineyard floor management intensity impacts soil health indicators and biodiversity across South Australian viticultural landscapes

Vineyard floors in warm, dry landscapes including those in South Australia, have traditionally been managed using intensive practices such as tillage and herbicides to control weeds and vegetation, thereby limiting competition with grapevines for water and nutrients in order to not compromise yields.
