A study of photosynthesis of two grapevine cultivars, Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay and cv. Merlot in relation to the seasonal climate and internal CO2 (Ci) concentration at leaf temperatures from 15 to 45°C was undertaken. Average rates of photosynthesis at saturating CO2 concentrations and all leaf temperatures were higher in Merlot compared with Chardonnay leaves. This was attributable to higher rates of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylation (Vcmax) and regeneration (Jmax) in Merlot leaves. These differences in photosynthesis were extended as the season progressed, partly because rates of RuBP carboxylation and regeneration of Chardonnay leaves declined markedly whereas rates for Merlot leaves remained high. Although there was no cultivar difference in the seasonal average temperature optima for assimilation (34°C) and the underlying metabolism (40°C for Vcmax and 35°C for Jmax), for temperatures above 35°C, the Merlot leaves had 50% higher rates. Across the season, activation energies of the temperature sensitivity of Vcmax and Jmax declined in response to the seasonal climate but were consistently lower in Merlot than Chardonnay. This suggested some apparent differences in the biochemistry occurred between the two cultivars that limited assimilation in Chardonnay leaves, especially at higher temperatures, but did not limit assimilation in Merlot leaves.

Changes in the photosynthetic responses of Malus domestica cv. ‘Red Gala’ leaves to internal CO2 concentrations at leaf temperatures from 15°C to 40°C were followed across the growing season in field-grown trees exposed to a high temperature event in late summer. Light and CO2-saturated photosynthesis (Amax), maximum rates of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylation (Vcmax) and maximum rates of electron transport (Jmax) were all highest in spring, although Amax was maximal at 30°C, and Vcmax and Jmax were maximal at 40°C. All attributes declined in late summer and reached minima that coincided with the occurrence of the high temperature event. Modelling suggested many of the changes were correlated with the seasonal climate, although the measurement or current temperature had an overriding effect, especially on stomatal conductance. Marked changes in the temperature-dependency of Vcmax and Jmax occurred across the season and appeared to relate to the seasonal changes in climate, especially temperature. The reduction in photosynthesis at high temperatures was, however, partly attributable to a stomatal limitation of up to 60% at the high temperatures. Non-stomatal reductions in photosynthesis during the heat event could be attributed to detrimental effect on RuBP carboxylation and on RuBP regeneration.

<p>An adequate nutritional state of a crop can be kept by means of a well-designed fertilization plan based on the assessment of the nutrient availability throughout the growing season. The objective of this study was to determine the reliability of leaf blade and petiole diagnosis and the period of validity of their references at both flowering and veraison by means of systematic monitoring throughout the complete growing season. The study was carried out in two plots planted with <em>Vitis vinifera</em> L. cv. Graciano within the AOC Rioja (Spain). Blades and petioles were collected throughout a growing season (2006) and total N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and B concentrations were analyzed in both tissues. Results suggest, in general, that petioles have higher variability and lower analysis reproducibility than blades. Therefore, blade could be a more appropriate tissue to evaluate N, P, K, Ca, and Mg at both flowering and veraison in this variety. Micronutrients in blade and petiole showed different variability behaviour in each of the vineyards studied, therefore, based on our results, it was difficult to determine which one could be the best tissue for the nutritional diagnosis of the ‘Graciano’ variety. Seasonal changes of nutrient concentration in both tissues also confirmed the need for reference values for each tissue and each phenological stage.</p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id=ieooui></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Tabla normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} </style> <![endif]-->

Cell walls have been isolated from the mesocarp of mature grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries. Tissue homogenates were suspended in 80% (v/v) ethanol to minimise the loss of water-soluble wall components and wet-sieved on nylon mesh to remove cytoplasmic material. The cell wall fragments retained on the sieve were subsequently treated with buffered phenol at pH 7.0, to inactivate any wall-bound enzymes and to dislodge small amounts of cytoplasmic proteins that adhered to the walls. Finally, the wall preparation was washed with chloroform/methanol (1:1, v/v) to remove lipids and dried by solvent exchange. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the wall preparation was essentially free of vascular tissue and adventitious protein of cytoplasmic origin. Compositional analysis showed that the walls consisted of approximately 90% by weight of polysaccharide and less than 10% protein. The protein component of the walls was shown to be rich in arginine and hydroxyproline residues. Cellulose and polygalacturonans were the major constituents, and each accounted for 30-40% by weight of the polysaccharide component of the walls. Substantial varietal differences were observed in the relative abundance of these two polysaccharides. Xyloglucans constituted approximately 10% of the polysaccharide fraction and the remainder was made up of smaller amounts of mannans, heteroxylans, arabinans and galactans.

Os sistemas atmosféricos exercem um papel significativo no clima de uma região e poucos trabalhos determinaram os impactos dos sistemas atmosféricos no de­senvolvimento e na produção de videira. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram deter­minar a frequência de ocorrência dos sistemas atmosféricos durante o período da maturação à colheita da videira (Vitis vinifera L.) var. Cabernet Sauvignon para as duas regiões produtoras de Santa Catarina em diferentes safras e determinar a as­sociação entre a ocorrência dos sistemas atmosféricos e as regiões produtoras e as safras. Os sistemas atmosféricos foram identificados durante as safras de 2005/2006 à 2008/2009. Os municípios de Água Doce e Campos Novos foram escolhidos para re­presentar a região produtora 1 e os municípios de Bom Retiro e São Joaquim para re­presentar a região produtora 2. As frequências de ocorrências dos sistemas atmosfé­ricos durante o período da maturação à colheita de videira são muito semelhantes entre as regiões, somente houve diferença na frequência de ocorrência do sistema jato subtropical entre regiões. Houve uma diferença significativa da ocorrência da frequência dos sistemas atmosféricos entre safras.
