Different thermal environment during dormant season lead to a differential cold hardiness status in Vitis vinifera cv. Malbec–The experience in Mendoza, Argentina

Abstract (resumen)

En Vitis sp., la resistencia al frío (RF) adquirida durante la estación de dormición (ED) es crucial para la supervivencia y el rendimiento. La mayoría de la información sobre RF es obtenida en áreas cercanas a 40°N, donde las temperaturas causan daños recurrentes en viñedos. En Mendoza (Argentina, 32°-35°S; MZA) también se han detectado síntomas de daño por frío, sin embargo existe escasa información local. Comparamos el macroclima de MZA con un área de referencia del Hemisferio Norte (RefHN) localizada a los 46°N empleando 10 años de registros diarios para identificar factores que podrían disparar una RF diferencial en vides durante ED. De este modo, observamos diferencias en las temperaturas máximas (Tmax) y amplitud térmica (AT), especialmente en la etapa media de la ED. Para evaluar si el ambiente térmico puede afectar la RF, plantas del cv Malbec (Mb) de 2 años fueron mantenidas en dos condiciones térmicas diferentes: Invierno Natural (IN) e Invierno con Calentamiento Artificial (ICA). Se midió la evolución de la RF en floema de troncos mediante heladas simuladas (-4°C/h; n=10) desde junio a septiembre (2016). La RF se estimó determinando la supervivencia del floema por método de amarronamiento, utilizando la dosis de temperatura letal del 50% de las muestras (LT50). Nuestros resultados sugieren que Mb sometida a una distinta historia térmica alcanza diferente RF en los distintos muestreos excepto cerca de la brotación, donde la RF se igualó entre los tratamientos. Concluimos que valores de RF obtenidos en otras regiones geográficas no son directamente extrapolables a las condiciones de MZA, remarcando la necesidad de generar más información local.

Effects of grapevine leafroll associated virus 2 infection on leaf net photosynthesis, yield and berry quality in Vitis vinifera cv. Malbec

Grapevine leafroll associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2) is one of the most common damaging viral diseases in vines, causing significant reductions in photosynthesis, yield and grape quality. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the leaf net photosynthesis and the transport of sugars to the berries is progressively reduced along the season in vines infected with GLRaV-2, and consequently, the yield (kg per plant) and total soluble solids (TSS) at the berry harvest-ripe stage are lower than non-infected vines.

Syrah wine from São Paulo’s high lands – Brazil, chemical and sensorial characterization, with a extemporaneous production cycle

Brazil has a wide territorial area, with much differentiated edaphoclimatic characteristics. It makes this study important to characterize new regions with viticulture potential.

Influence of genotype and water availability on respiratory costs and plant carbon balance in grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.)

Due to the important contribution of agriculture to the global carbon dioxide (CO2) balance, new techniques are currently being developed to accurately estimate the carbon balance of different crops. Field studies to date in grapevines have been based on carbon allocation and biomass accumulation dynamics.

Phenological behavior and evolution of maturation of grapes of juice preparation

The ripening level of the grape is one of the most important factors in the quality of its derivatives, because of the complex phenomena inherently related to the varieties and environmental conditions. The objective of the present study was to monitor the phenological development of the Chardonnay variety and to evaluate the influence of the different ripening points on the production of juices.

Measurement of quality potential: insights into planting choices

Within the current context of climate change, the choice of variety and rootstock for each specific pedo-climatite becomes critical.
