Two preharvest treatments (methyl jasmonate or cell wall yeast) of grapevines (Monastrell and Tempranillo) were applied during two vintages (2014 and 2015) to check whether these elicitors enhanced stilbene accumulation in berries at the moment of harvest and in the corresponding wines elaborated with them. The main objective was checking the effect of treatment, variety and year on stilbene composition due to the interesting health-related properties of these compounds in both grapes and wines. The results pointed to inter-varietal and inter-annual differences, and that the treatments generally enhanced the stilbene composition of grapes and, particularly, of wines. The increase was more evident in Monastrell variety than in Tempranillo variety and in their wines more than their grapes during 2014 vintage but not during 2015 vintage.

The final aim of metabolomics is the comprehensive and holistic study of the metabolome in biological samples. Therefore, the use of instruments that enable the analysis of metabolites belonging to various chemical classes in a wide range of concentrations is essential, without compromising on robustness, resolution, sensitivity, specificity, and metabolite annotation. These characteristics are crucial for the analysis of very complex samples, such as wine, whose metabolome is the result of the sum of metabolites derived from grapes, yeast(s), bacteria(s), and chemical or physical modification during winemaking.

Calcium ions (Ca) are important second messengers and are known to participate in cold signal transduction. In the current study, we characterized a Ca-binding protein gene, VamCP1, from the extremely cold-tolerant grape species Vitis amurensis. VamCP1 expression varied among organs but was highest in leaves following cold treatment, peaking 24 h after treatment onset.

Hyphopichia pseudoburtonii, is emerging as a potential biocontrol agent against various phytopathogens. These traits have been attributed to the production of various antifungal compounds in the presence of target pathogens. However, the broad molecular mechanisms involved in the antifungal activity are not yet understood.

The fermentation process in alcoholic beverage production converts sugars into ethanol and CO, releasing significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Here, Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 was grown autotrophically using gas derived from alcoholic fermentation, using a fed-batch bottle system. Nutrient starvation was applied to induce intracellular accumulation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a bioplastic polymer, for bioconversion of CO-rich waste gas into PHB.

Grapevine white rot is a fungal disease that frequently occurs during the growing season, resulting in reduced fruit quality and severe yield losses. This work aimed to compare the differences in flavor profiles between wines made from different percentages of Coniella vitis-infected grapes by using FTIR spectrometer, sensory analysis, HS-SPME-GC-MS and HPLC-DAD.
