Development of inflorescence primordia in Vitis vinifera L cv. Chardonnay from hot and cool climates
نویسنده
چکیده
• Flower formation in grapevines follows 3 steps: 1) formation of uncommitted primordia, also called anlagen, within the latent buds; 2) differentiation of uncommitted primordia into inflorescence primordia; and 3) differentiation of inflorescence primordia into individual flowers . Steps 1 and 2 happen during the previous season, whereas Step 3 does not happen until budbreak of the current season. Thus, conditions during the previous season have an important influence on the number of inflorescences in the current season, and therefore, on yield .

Inflorescence of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.): a high ability to distribute its own assimilates.
The distribution of carbon (C) into whole grapevine fruiting cuttings was investigated during flower development to determine the relative contribution of inflorescence and leaf photoassimilates in the total C balance and to investigate their partitioning towards other plant organs. A (13)C labelling procedure was used to label C photoassimilates by leaves and inflorescences in grapevine. Inves...
متن کاملProteomic analysis reveals differences between Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay and cv. Cabernet Sauvignon and their responses to water deficit and salinity.
The impact of water deficit and salt stress on two important wine grape cultivars, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, was investigated. Plants were exposed to increasing salinity and water deficit stress over a 16 d time period. Measurements of stem water potentials, and shoot and leaf lengths indicated that Chardonnay was more tolerant to these stresses than Cabernet Sauvignon. Shoot tips were...
متن کاملA functional association in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon between the extent of primary branching and the number of flowers formed per inflorescence
• As we know, the inflorescences that will produce any year’s grape crop start differentiating inside the buds in the previous year. There are 2 main stages of development: formation of primary branches starts in Year 1, before the vine goes dormant; secondary and tertiary branching, as well as individual flower differentiation, continues around budbreak of Year 2. Thus, the cropping potential ...
متن کاملThe bouquet of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon) flowers arises from the biosynthesis of sesquiterpene volatiles in pollen grains.
Terpenoid volatiles are important information molecules that enable pollinators to locate flowers and may protect reproductive tissues against pathogens or herbivores. Inflorescences of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) are composed of tiny green flowers that produce an abundance of sesquiterpenoid volatiles. We demonstrate that male flower parts of grapevines are responsible for sesquiterpenoid fl...

Primary bud necrosis in grapevine is a physiological disorder observed in the compound buds. This study was conducted to investigate the anatomical changes in cv. Askari grapevine in winter dormant buds. Bud samples were taken from Askari grapevine at Sisakht vineyards, south-western of Iran. Compound buds were dissected and assessed under a binocular microscope at 10-40x magnification and a di...
