Background: Aspergillus carbonarius has been identified as one of the main fungi that produce ochratoxin A (OTA) in grapes. This nephrotoxic mycotoxin has been legislated against in several countries and is a major concern for viticulture. Knowledge of resistance to, or susceptibility to, colonization by A. carbonarius may be useful in selecting the most promising cultivars for organic agriculture and could help in preventing fungal contamination in vineyards. This study aimed to evaluate the colonization potential and the capacity to produce OTA by A. carbonarius in Vitis vinifera, V. labrusca, and hybrid grapes. The correlation between OTA levels and grape berry characteristics was also analyzed.
Results: The OTA content was only strongly correlated with the thickness and hardness of the grape skins. The correlation between OTA levels and these parameters was negative (grapes with the least thickness and hardness had the highest OTA levels). Vitis vinifera grapes were more susceptible to A. carbonarius than V. labrusca and hybrid grapes at both 25 and 4 °C. Chardonnay (V. vinifera) grapes showed the highest levels of OTA, followed by Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, and Moscato Branco. Italia grapes were the exceptions among V. vinifera cultivars, since they showed similar thickness, hardness, and fungal resistance as the V. labrusca and hybrid grapes.
Conclusion: The highest resistance to A. carbonarius was observed in the following grapes: hybrids (BRS Lorena and BRS Violeta), V. labrusca (Isabel and Bordo), and V. vinifera (Italia). These cultivars can be prioritized in the implementation of organic viticulture. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

School of Agricultural Sciences, Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu 18610-034, SP, Brazil.
The phenolic profile and antioxidant activity of whole grape juices from and Brazilian hybrids in two training systems were analyzed. Genotypes of ('Bordô' and 'Isabel') and Brazilian hybrids ('IAC 138-22 Máximo' and 'BRS Violeta') were grafted onto the rootstock 'IAC 766 Campinas' (106-8 'Mgt' × ) and trained on low and high trellis. After harvest, the grapes were destemmed and the berries macerated in a roller crusher.

Background: Grapevine (Vitis) is one of the world's most valuable fruit crops, but insect herbivory can decrease yields. Understanding insect herbivory resistance is critical to mitigating these losses. Vitis labrusca, a wild North American grapevine species, has been leveraged in breeding programs to generate hybrid grapevines with enhanced abiotic and biotic stress resistance, rendering it a valuable genetic resource for sustainable viticulture.

'Beta' is a hybrid of L. and and has a strong ability to adapt to adverse growth environments and is mainly cultivated and used as a resistant rootstock. At present, the most extensively studied MYB TFs are R2R3-type, which have been found to be involved in plant growth, development, and stress response processes.

Article Synopsis
- - Vitis cryptic virus (VCV), discovered in Japan and found in China and Russia, is a deltapartitivirus that has unclear pathogenicity, though it’s generally considered non-pathogenic.
- - Recent studies reported unexpected symptoms like red blotch and leaf curl in hybrid plants from Bordeaux, prompting RNA sequencing to analyze the viral presence and identify various other viruses and viroids alongside VCV.
- - The RNA sequencing revealed two identical VCV RNA1 contigs and two VCV RNA2 contigs, showcasing high similarity to Japanese isolates, and all sequences were uploaded to GenBank for future reference.

The objective of this work was to determine the phenolic composition, chemical and cellular antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity in human cells, and peroxidative inhibition of the defatted fraction of grape () and blackberry () seeds. Soxhlet extraction (Sox) was used to extract the fat and obtain the degreased material. A statistical optimization study was developed to maximize the extraction of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity from defatted grape and blackberry seeds.
