Factors influencing the production of the antioxidant hydroxytyrosol during alcoholic fermentation: Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen and Sugar content.

Abstract

Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is well known for its potent antioxidant activity and anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties. One possible explanation to its origin in wines is the synthesis from tyrosol, which in turn is produced from the Ehrlich pathway by yeasts.  This work aims to explore the factors that could increase the final content as the initial concentration of yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) and sugar. Two different concentrations of YAN were proved between 210mg/L and 300 mg/L. Additionally, two different concentrations of sugar were used: 100g/L and 240 g/L.  Alcoholic fermentations in synthetic must were performed with the strain QA23. Commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts QA23 were used, as well as a strain with a specific modification to increase the production of fusel alcohols. Experimental design includes different YAN and sugar concentrations. The analysis was performed in a Thermo Scientific liquid chromatography system consisting of a binary UHPLC Dionex Ultimate 3000RS, connected to a quadrupole orbitrap Qexactive hybrid mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany), which was equipped with a heated electrospray ionization probe (HESI-II). The column used was a ZORBAX SB-C18 (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8-μm particle size) Higher concentrations of hydroxytyrosol were obtained in synthetic must with higher amount of sugar (240g/L) and lesser YAN (210mg/L). Furthermore, the modified yeast presents a higher capacity to produce HT and tyrosol. Selecting the adequate conditions of sugar and YAN can increase the HT and tyrosol content 10 times.These results might explain certain differences between HT content in wines.

Elucidating the biological function of EPFL9 in grapevine roots

Epidermal Patterning Factors are a class of cysteine rich peptides known to be involved in many developmental processes. The role of EPF1, EPF2 and EPFL9 in controlling leaf stomata formation has been well described in model plants and cereals, and recently also in grapevine, while little is known about their activity in other organs. The aim of our study is to investigate whether VviEPFL9-2 can have a specific biological function in grapevine roots, where it resulted to be expressed. As grapevine is cultivated in the form of a grafted plant, we focused our study on the commonly used rootstock Kober 5BB (Vitis berlandieri x Vitis riparia). VviEPFL9-2 was edited in Kober 5BB plants using Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation of embryogenic calli and the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The phenotypic evaluation in greenhouse indicated that, as expected, the leaves of knock-out (KO) plants have a significant lower stomatal density compared to WT, associated with a lower stomatal conductance.

Potential of new genetic resources to improve drought adaptation of grapevine rootstocks

Grapevines are grown mainly as grafts worldwide, but the rootstocks most commonly used were selected between the late 19th and early 20th centuries and are based on reduced genetic diversity[1]. In the context of climate change, it is indeed urgent to diversify the range of rootstocks with genotypes much more adapted to drier environments, than the existing ones[2]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of new genetic resources for grapevine rootstock breeding programs. For this purpose, 12 American and Asian wild Vitis species (3 to 5 accessions per species = 50 accessions) were evaluated for their rooting ability and drought response.
