The sensitivity to ABA affects the cross-talk between scion/rootstock in tolerant grapevines to drought stress

Abstract

Drought caused by climate change has a dramatic incidence on the vineyard. Despite employing specific rootstocks tolerant to drought like 110 Richter, the vineyard continues to experience various losses, revealing the importance of the scion cultivar in the adaptation to drought stress. In this regard, Merlot, a widely cultivated grapevine, exhibited reduced drought tolerance compared to less cultivated varieties like Callet, a local cultivar originating from the Balearic Islands that demonstrated greater resilience to drought. Therefore, understanding the drought stress response in both cultivars and the cross-talk between scion and rootstock is key to unveiling possible differences that could affect to the adaptation to drought in vineyard. Plants from both cultivars grafted in the tolerant rootstock, 110 Richter, underwent different drought stages. For each stage, samples from leaves and roots were analyzed at metabolic, hormonal, physiological and transcriptomic level. The results revealed differences at most levels, increasing the production of osmolytes and antioxidant molecules involved in response to drought stress in Callet. However, hormonal analysis showed similar ABA production in both cultivars, indicating lower sensitivity to ABA in the case of Merlot compared to Callet. Moreover, the transcriptomic analysis revealed a modulation of genes involved in response to ABA and miRNA in leaves and roots of Callet, whereas in Merlot was mostly absent in roots, evidencing a poor cross-talk between Merlot and rootstock and increasing the value of the correct combination scion/rootstock for the vineyard adaptation to climate change.

Untargeted LC-HRMS analysis to discover new taste-active compounds in spirits.

​For several years, the chemistry of taste has aroused high interest both from academics and industrials. Plant kingdom is a rich and reliable source of new taste-active compounds. Many sweet, bitter or sour molecules have been identified in various plants [1]. They belong to diverse chemical families and their sensory properties are strongly affected by slight structural modifications. As a consequence, the investigation of natural taste-active products in a given matrix appears as a major challenge for chemists. Such studies are particularly relevant in oenology since they allow a better understanding of wine and spirit taste.

Caractérisation et valorisation des terroirs de l’appellation d’origine contrôlée Puisseguin-Saint-Emilion

Le terroir viticole, qui est la base de la délimitation des aires d’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée, est une notion complexe dans laquelle sont en interaction la vigne, les facteurs naturels tels que le sol, le climat, ainsi que le facteur humain à travers les pratiques des viticulteurs. Le terroir conditionne la composition des raisins et ainsi la qualité et la typicité des vins qui en sont issus.
