«Observatoire Mourvèdre»: statistical modelling of quality for Cv. Mourvèdre

Abstract

Vine cultivar Mourvèdre is present all around the Mediterranean area and is interesting for its tannins and the specificity of its aromas. It is though difficult to manage. A wide project started in 1999 in order to determine what conditions are mostly important on the quality of the grapes and wines of Mourvèdre. During 5 years and on 32 different plots from Roussillon region up north towards Ardèche and east towards Var vineyards, a large amount of climatic, phenological, water stress, plant and grape data has been collected. Data mining PLS Spline method was used to model different variables of quality like sugar content in musts. The model obtained, that is able to predict the potential of a parcel, pointed out the major importance of the climate, as long as the yield and the leaf canopy management. It has then been validated on 4 different zones for the year 2005.

Comparison between non-Saccharomyces yeasts for the production of Nero d’Avola wine

Wine production with non-Saccharomyces yeasts is getting larger application due to the positive impact of these yeasts on wine composition. Previous studies showed notably differences in chemical composition of Merlot wines obtained with Torulaspora delbrueckii.

Conservation: the best valorisation strategy for wine growing areas

Terroir encompasses many elements, including environment, grapes and human inputs that together contribute to the final wine quality of a certain wine growing area.

Use of uv light for suppression of grapevine diseases

Microbial pathogens of plant have evolved to sense, interpret, and use light to direct their development. One aspect of this evolved relationship is photolyase-mediated repair of UV-induced damage to pathogen DNA. Application of germicidal UV (UV-C) at night circumvents the blue light-driven repair of pathogen DNA and allows non-phytotoxic doses of UV-C to suppress a variety of pathogenic microbes and even certain arthropod pests without damage to vines or fruit. Lamps arrays have been designed specifically for the canopy architecture of grapevines and have been deployed on both tractor-drawn and robotic carriages for partial to near-complete suppression of powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator), sour rot (fungal, bacterial, and arthropod complex), and downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola).

Exploring the impact of NPR3 gene silencing on the interaction between grapevine and mycorrhizal fungi through genome editing

One of the main plant defence mechanisms is the Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) mediated by Salicylic Acid (SA). This is a heightened and broad-spectrum immune response initiated by the exposure to pathogens, inducing resistance not only in the infected site, but also throughout the entire plant. It was demonstrated that plant immune system can be regulated by two classes of SA receptors: NONEXPRESSOR OF PR GENES 1 (NPR1) and NPR1-LIKE PROTEIN 3 and 4 (NPR3/NPR4). While NPR1 is required for SA-induction followed by the expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) protein and resistance against pathogens, NPR3/NPR4 serve as transcriptional co-repressors of SA-responsive genes.
