Gene expression analysis was carried out for the varieties 'Regent', GF15, 'Bronner', and 'Chardonnay'. Hormonal quantification was performed for jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and trans-zeatin-ribose (tZR). The samples were collected from plants cultivated in vitro inoculated with Plasmopara viticola sporangia, and collected at 0, 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-days post inoculation (DPI) for gene expression; and 0, 3, 5, and 7 DPI for hormonal quantification. The results showed an interaction between genotype and time post inoculation in gene expression and hormonal pathways linked with pathogen recognition. Both jasmonate and salicylic acids were involved in the resistance response. The role of stilbenes acting against the pathogen at different times was also confirmed. Changes in the expression of genes linked to cell defense were observed in all evaluated genotypes; however, genotypes with R-loci responded more quickly than the variety without R-loci, activating mechanisms of cell death, resulting in symptoms of hypersensitivity.","PeriodicalId":23613,"journal":{"name":"Vitis: Journal of Grapevine Research","volume":"83 1","pages":"195-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80358516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vitis vinifera L. 'Pinot Noir' is known to not grow well in hot climates. A trial was run over two years in a commercial vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, to determine the impact of higher temperatures on the 'Pinot Noir' grape and wine colour. A factorial experiment combining two sources of variation in temperature was established: three positions on a steep vineyard slope, and two thermal treatments: unheated control and heated with passive open-top transparent chambers. Elevated temperature decoupled sugars and anthocyanins in grape berries, with the heated treatment grapes producing a lower anthocyanin concentration for the same concentration of total soluble solids. Temperature effects were less defined for small batches of wines prepared from these grapes, with the wines from heated vines having higher total phenolics, and perhaps consequently lower CIELab b* values (i.e., less blue pigmentation/anthocyanins). The study provides a unique insight into temperature gradients on a steeply sloping site and the effects on colour development of 'Pinot Noir' grape berries and wine.","PeriodicalId":23613,"journal":{"name":"Vitis: Journal of Grapevine Research","volume":"261 1","pages":"169-178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79644699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In both years we did not measure any differences between rootstocks in stem water potential (SWP). Vegetative growth was decreased by the restriction of irrigation between fruit set and veraison. Stomatal conductance (gs) was affected by irrigation, but not by the rootstock. During the pre-veraison period there was a clear inverse relationship between gs and SWP.

Vines subjected to water deficit between fruit set and veraison produced smaller berries than well irrigated ones, whereas deficit applied after veraison determined about 10 % differences in berry weight.

The identification of red grape cultivars by wine anthocyanin spectra is a well-known method, but the analysis of applied parameters does not produce exact results. This work aimed at identifying substantive parameters, which, if applied simultaneously, will allow identifying numerous cultivars with high certainty. Liquid chromatography has been applied to obtain anthocyanin profiles of single-cultivar red wines made of various cultivars. Ratios of the peak areas of individual anthocyanins were identified. The proportions of anthocyanins depend on many factors, but their constancy is predetermined genetically. Certain ratios of peak areas of individual anthocyanins can be estimated as constant and typical for concrete cultivars. Revealed combinations of three ratios were estimated as unique for each cultivar. Moreover, different clones of certain cultivars have different combinations of constant ratios. Analysed samples were distributed in groups according to the combination of constancies of three ratios manifested in chromatographic peaks. The three-dimensional model produced allows data distribution in different groups. Each group corresponds to individual cultivars or different clones of one cultivar. Their belonging to concrete groups makes it possible to efficiently identify unknown single-cultivar wines and detect forgery.","PeriodicalId":23613,"journal":{"name":"Vitis: Journal of Grapevine Research","volume":"95 1","pages":"163-168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80116396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a bold method to fight against climate warming that could be only developed in really warm viticultural regions. It consists in shortening the growing shoots to several nodes with the aim of forcing vine regrowth; in order to force budbreak, shoot regrowth, and cropping, the source of inhibition needs to be eliminated and to this end, lateral shoots, leaves, and primary clusters, if they exist, are removed.But the main drawback of the forcing vine regrowth technique is loss of yield. In order to avoid this loss of yield and not to eliminate the primary clusters already formed in the main shoots, it is possible to force the development of buds of the fifth and sixth nodes, but maintaining the clusters of the main shoots. In this way, the yield of the forced buds would be added to the normal or primary yield of the shoots.

The objective of this study was to test whether similar effects could be achieved under field conditions. A trial was conducted in a heavily infected vineyard in northern Israel for two consecutive years. A suspension of Frd cells (108·mL-1) was applied bi-weekly by foliar spray on grapevines from bud burst to leaf senescence. Frd penetrated the leaves during the growing period but not during leaf senescence and could be detected in the leaves by PCR analysis up to 14 days post-spraying. The rate of yellows infection was lower in the treated grapevines compared to its increase in untreated grapevines and the yield of symptomatic plants was improved by 10 to 20 %.

They are interesting in ampelography and also important for the plant ecological responses in biotic and abiotic interactions. In nature, the trichome development is a genetic trait but it can be modified by pests as eriophyid mites. Colomerus vitis is quite common and its economic value is sometime substantial. Here, we studied the leaf erineum induced by C. vitis on 'Ansonica' ('Inzolia'), an important grapevine cultivar characterized by a low level of leaf trichome coating. To date, the interaction between C. vitis and grape has been investigated in few pedo-climatic conditions and no data are reported in 'Ansonica'. Therefore, our objectives were: (1) the analysis, in a Tuscan environment, of the morphology and histology of trichomes in 'Ansonica' leaves unaffected or affected by C. vitis; (2) evaluation, in mature leaves, of the effects of the mite both on pigment content and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters. 'Ansonica' was devoid of glandular trichomes but it has been established the presence of few simple trichomes strictly associated with the veins. In the erineal sectors, a dense proliferation of simple trichomes in the abaxial epidermis and the development of hyperplasia in the adaxial surface were observed. Moreover, the leaf sections in the erineal regions were thicker due to an abnormal development of the lacunar parenchyma, and trichome proliferation was also extended to interveinal regions. Leaves with erinea showed a deficient content of carotenoids, in comparison to unaffected leaves. In 'Ansonica' leaves, C. vitis induced a decrease in the steady-state operational efficiency of photosystem II associated to a reduction in photochemical quenching and an increase in non-photochemical quenching values. In leaves with erinea, the reduction of photosystem II efficiency was extended to foliar areas not directly affected by galls. The collected results highlight that 'Ansonica' is susceptible to attacks by C. vitis and in the case of widespread leaf attacks the productive damage should not be underestimated.","PeriodicalId":23613,"journal":{"name":"Vitis: Journal of Grapevine Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"101-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76091036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, proper water management of the vineyards, the amount and the timing of irrigation will play a crucial role in sustainable viticulture in the near future. In this study, the effect of timing of moderate water deficit on berry texture characteristics and phenolic maturity were investigated. 'Kekfrankos' grapevines were submitted to different water regimes: moderate water deficit from berry set until veraison (WD1), moderate water deficit from veraison until harvest (WD2), no water deficit (C). Concentration of the phenolic components of the grape berry skins and berry mixture for the Glories indices were measured by spectrophotometer (UVmini-1240 CE UV-VIS, Shimadzu, Japan). Cell and seed maturity indices (CMI%, SMI%) were also calculated. Berry texture characteristics were monitored by a TA.XT Plus Texture Analyser (Stable Micro System, UK). Berry skin and seed texture properties were affected by water regimes. Skin and seed hardness of WD1 were significantly lower than those of WD2. Significant differences were found in berry hardness between the treatments (C>WD1>WD2). Berry gumminess, resilience and chewiness of WD2 were lower compared to C and WD1. Anthocyanin extractability was higher when plants were not subjected to post-veraison water limitations (WD1). Furthermore, the seed maturity index was lower when water deficit occurred between berry set and veraison. Pre-veraison water deficit resulted in delayed ripening, softer seeds and thus higher phenol extractability compared to WD2 and C. Late seasonal water deficit resulted in thicker skins, which was accompanied by lower anthocyanin extractability than in WD1 and C. It seems that anthocyanin extractability is influenced by the actual water status of the grapevine rather than skin textural properties. However, there are some connections between skin texture parameters and maturity indices.","PeriodicalId":23613,"journal":{"name":"Vitis: Journal of Grapevine Research","volume":"187 1","pages":"125-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83050077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
