Quantifying the effect of human practices on S. cerevisiae vineyard metapopulation diversity.

ABSTRACT: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the main actor of wine fermentation but at present, still little is known about the factors impacting its distribution in the vineyards. In this study, 23 vineyards and 7 cellars were sampled over 2 consecutive years in the Bordeaux and Bergerac regions. The impact of geography and farming system and the relation between grape and vat populations were evaluated using a collection of 1374 S. cerevisiae merlot grape isolates and 289 vat isolates analyzed at 17 microsatellites loci. A very high genetic diversity of S. cerevisiae strains was obtained from grape samples, higher in conventional farming system than in organic one. The geographic appellation and the wine estate significantly impact the S. cerevisiae population structure, whereas the type of farming system has a weak global effect. When comparing cellar and vineyard populations, we evidenced the tight connection between the two compartments, based on the high proportion of grape isolates (25%) related to the commercial starters used in the cellar and on the estimation of bidirectional geneflows between the vineyard and the cellar compartments.

Project description:To study the role of wild areas around the vineyards in the epidemiology of flavescence dorée (FD) and track the origin of new foci, two phytoplasma genetic markers, dnaK and malG, were developed for FD phytoplasma (FDp) characterization. The two genes and the vmpA locus were used to genetically characterize FDp populations at seven agroecosystems of a wine-growing Italian region. Vitis vinifera, "gone-wild" V. vinifera and rootstocks, Clematis spp., and Scaphoideus titanus adults were sampled within and outside the vineyards. A range of genotypes infecting the different hosts of the FDp epidemiological cycle was found. Type FD-C isolates were fairly homogeneous compared to type FD-D ones. Most of the FD-D variability was correlated with the malG sequence, and a duplication of this locus was demonstrated for this strain. Coinfection with FD-C and FD-D strains was rare, suggesting possible competition between the two. Similar levels of FDp genetic variation recorded for grapevines or leafhoppers of cultivated and wild areas and co-occurrence of many FDp genotypes inside and outside the vineyards supported the idea of the importance of wild or abandoned Vitis plants and associated S. titanus insects in the epidemiology of the disease. Genetic profiles of FDp found in Clematis were never found in the other hosts, indicating that this species does not take part in the disease cycle in the area. Due to the robustness of analyses using dnaK for discriminating between FD-C and FD-D strains and the high variability of malG sequences, these are efficient markers to study FDp populations and epidemiology at a small geographical scale.IMPORTANCE Flavescence dorée, a threatening disease of grapevine caused by FD phytoplasma (FDp), is distributed within the most important wine-producing areas of Europe and has severe effects on both vineyard productivity and landscape management. FDp is a quarantine pest in Europe, and despite the efforts to contain the pathogen, the disease is still spreading. In this work, new genetic markers for the fine genetic characterization of FDp at local scale are presented. Our findings improve the knowledge of FDp epidemiological cycle and offer the possibility of tracking the route of the FDp infection. In particular, due to its high genetic variability, one of the newly developed markers could be sufficient to track the origin of new infection foci, either from the wild areas or from nurseries.
