Abstract Background In viticulture, rootstock genotype plays a critical role to improve scion physiology, berry quality and adapt grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) different environmental conditions. This study aimed at investigating the effect of two rootstocks (1103 Paulsen - P Mgt 101–14 M) in comparison with not grafted plants NGC on transcriptome (RNA-seq small RNA-seq) chemical composition skin Pinot noir , exploring influence rootstock-scion interaction grape quality. Berry samples,...
Grapevine is one the most cultivated species worldwide, with 8,000 estimated varieties. Protecting this biodiversity of utmost importance, especially in countries historically devoted to viticulture, such as Italy. One richest Italian ampelographic collections, spread different regions from north south peninsula, owned and managed by Research Centre Viticulture Enology (CREA-VE). Vitis vinifera L., but also other genus. Since 2004, Ministry Agriculture, Food Sovereignty Forestry has financed...
Vitis vinifera includes a large number of cultivars that are further distinguished in biotypes and clones, it is actually hard to differentiate them, even through complex molecular techniques. In this work, the plant materials 56 putative Sangiovese 14 Montepulciano biotypes, two most widespread black-berried Italian cultivars, were collected different wine-growing areas Italy distributed 13 regions, from north south. Firstly, samples analyzed using SSR markers have proper varietal...
Despite phenotypic plasticity that allows the adaptation to harsh environments, when vines experience severe abiotic stresses, they can suffer from metabolic damages affecting grape production and quality. Grafting is an affordable strategy mitigate these negative consequences since rootstock increase drought tolerance in scion. This work explored effects of pre-veraison water deficit on grafted different rootstocks (Mgt 101-14 1103 Paulsen) obtain physiological, biochemical, molecular...
The protection of grapevine biodiversity and the safeguarding genetic variability are certainly primary topical objectives for wine research, especially in territories historically devoted to viticulture. To assess autochthonous germplasm three different districts Southern Umbria (Central Italy), plant material 70 grapevines retrieved from reforested land plots or old vineyards was collected, their identity investigated using 13 microsatellite markers (SSR). results revealed presence 39...
To explore the grapevine biodiversity of some minor viticultural districts located in northwest coastal area Tuscany, a total 99 samples were collected from field borders or no longer cultivated areas and analysed at molecular level using 12 microsatellite markers (SSR). The results revealed presence 58 unique genotypes among which 42 already known varieties (36 belonging to Vitis vinifera species 6 interspecific crosses) 16 hitherto unreported genetic profiles. About 50 % accessions (52 out...
Delimited degraded soil areas caused by an improper land preparation before vine plantation and or management can be observed in conventional organic European vineyards. Soil malfunctioning including: poor matter content, imbalanced nutritional status, altered pH, water deficiency, compaction and/or scarce oxygenation. The goal of the present study was to compare effects some agronomic strategies restore optimal functionality commercial vineyards located five countries, evaluate impact these...
The research work carried out aimed at verifying the efficacy of Trichoderma -based products on fertility maintenance in vineyard soils, case replanting. presence a hypofertile horizon, fact, can cause problems engrafting rooted cuttings and slowing down their vegetative development. trial was experimental farm CREA − Research Center for Viticulture Enology Arezzo, during setting up new Sangiovese vineyard. Rooted grafts treated with three different formulations containing some spp. strains...
Seaweeds extracts (SWE) are innovative and non-polluting tools that have become popular as biostimulants. Their effects on Pinot noir water potential, gas exchanges fruit quality under drought stress full irrigation were evaluated during the 2017 growing season. Differential irrigations applied Noir grapevines been sprayed two times at label doses (3 g/L) vegetative growth, with Ascophyllum nodosum exract, starting from veraison. During season, measurements of single leaf exchange stem...
The early defoliation of the fruiting area is a technique that offers considerable advantages both in relation to quality grapes and pest control; on other hand, when very warm summer occurs, risk grape sunburn may increase. This paper reports results pre-flowering trial carried out province Arezzo (Italy) 2017, an exceptionally hot dry year. confirmed validity this limiting yield while achieving concurrent higher concentration phenolic compounds without increasing burns radiative damages grapes.
