Data deluge: Opportunities, challenges, and lessons of big data in a multidisciplinary project

Abstract

Grapevine powdery mildew resistance is a key target for grape breeders and grape growers worldwide. The driver of the USDA-NIFA-SCRI VitisGen3 project is completing the pipeline from germplasm identification to QTL to candidate gene characterization to new cultivars to vineyards to consumers. This is a common thread across such projects internationally. We will discuss how our objectives and approaches leverage big data to advance this initiative, starting with genomics and computer vision phenotyping for gene discovery and genetic improvement. To manage and maintain resistances for long-term sustainability, growers will be trained through our nation-wide extension and outreach plan. Ultimately, consumers drive adoption of new varieties, and our socioeconomic research using eye-tracking will be briefly described. Across this multi-disciplinary research effort, big data presents opportunities, challenges, and lessons.

New varieties descendant from Monastrell with lower sugar and high phenolic content adapted to warm climates

Given that climate change is a continuous process, it is necessary to constantly search for new strategies that help the viticulturist sector to mitigate its consequences. All adaptation strategies will have a greater or lesser effect that in turn will be marked by the times of action. As a long-term action, a genetic breeding program to obtain new varieties descendant from Monastrell has been developed in the Region of Murcia (more specifically, in the IMIDA Research Center) since 1997. In this program, new red varieties have been developed through directed crosses of the Monastrell variety with other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Syrah.

Identification and quantification of c-glucosidic ellagitannins and their derivative in red wine aged in oak barrels

The C-glycosidic ellagitannins constitute a subclass of hydrolyzable tannins of remarkable structural diversity. In this work we first achieved the hemisynthesis of flavano-ellagitannins, then we used them to develop a new efficient detection and quantification procedure for the C-glycosidic ellagitannins as well as flavano-ellagitannins.

Microbiome, disease-resistant varieties, and wine quality

The development of interspecific hybrid varieties (ihvs) resistant to diseases such as powdery mildew and downy mildew allows for a decrease in the use of inputs in vineyards. In this pers-pective, ihvs represent a response to societal demand for reducing environmental impact and are increasingly used in viticulture. At the same time, wines resulting from so-called sponta-neous fermentations, based on indigenous flora, have recently gained popularity.
