Bioprotective effect of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in wines made without SO2

Abstract

The sulphur dioxide (SO2) is the most widely used additive in the wine industry because of its preservative action. However, in recent years the number of wineries that produce wines without SO2 has increased significantly because its allergenic character. The production of SO2-free wines may lead to the development of different spoiling microorganisms, which could lead to wine deterioration. One of the strategies suggested to avoid wine spoilage, is the non-Saccharomyces yeast inoculation, which prevent bacteria development. The objective of this work was to evaluate the bioprotective effect of a mixed inoculum of non-Saccharomyces yeasts (Torulaspora delbrueckii and Lachancea thermotolerans 70/30) in two consecutive vintages (2018 and 2019). Three strategies were carried out in triplicate: spontaneous fermentation in sulphited must, spontaneous fermentation in non sulphited must and inoculated fermentation (non-Saccharomyces mixed inoculum) in non sulphited must. In all cases, after 72 hours of fermentation the vats were seeded with a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The presence in the medium of lactic and acetic bacteria and the chemical composition of the wines were evaluated. The obtained results indicated that the bioprotective effect of non-Saccharomyces yeasts inoculation was determined by the success of the implantation. Only in 2019 assays the inoculum was successfully implanted, and therefore, the bioprotective effect was like the observed for sulphited samples, since it limited the lactic and acetic bacteria population. This inoculation also modulated the physicochemical composition of the resulting wines. However, in 2018 the inoculum was not implanted and differences were not detected, neither in wines composition nor in the detected bacteria.

Juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition in grapevine 

The sequential activity of miR156 and miR172 controls the juvenile to adult phase transition in many plant species, where miR156 abundance decreases while miR172 increases along plant development. Very little is known about phase transition in horticultural woody species, which show substantially long vegetative phases. In grapevine, phase transition seems to be dissociated, displaying a first transition from juvenile to adult vegetative state in the first year, coincident with tendril differentiation and a subsequent induction of inflorescences in place of some of tendrils in later years under flowering inductive environmental conditions. Since grapevine is a highly heterozygous species, the generation of genetically homogeneous material for replicated transcriptomic analyses from seed-derived plants was a main challenge.

New breeding frontiers: application of the CRISPR-cas9 system in grapevine (V. vinifera L.) and improvements in plant regeneration

Nowadays, many policies are being adopted for direct agriculture towards more sustainable approaches. To continue to maintain a high production using fewer fertilizers, pesticides and water resources, agronomic techniques must be combined with biotechnological approaches. In grapevine, the breeding programs are restricted by the fact that it has a highly heterozygous genome, therefore, if on the one hand, we try to improve the characteristics, on the other hand it is necessary to preserve the original genome of the varieties. CRISPR-cas9 system is one of the smartest tools to carry out highly precise genetic modifications leaving the genetic background unchanged.
