“…Due to this system, the roots are physically confined in a specific space, thus regulating vegetative and reproductive growth and improving fruit quality, and more plants can be planted in a given area. Several studies on grapes [ 23 – 25 ], cherry [ 26 ], carambola [ 27 ] and apple [ 28 ] have reported altered plant architecture.…”

Background The root-zone restriction cultivation technique is used to achieve superior fruit quality at the cost of limited vegetative and enhanced reproductive development of grapevines. Fungal interactions and diversity in grapevines are well established; however, our knowledge about fungal diversity under the root-zone restriction technique is still unexplored. To provide insights into the role of mycobiota in the regulation of growth and fruit quality of grapevine under root-zone restriction, DNA from rhizosphere and plant compartments, including white roots (new roots), leaves, flowers, and berries of root-zone restricted (treatment) and conventionally grown plants (control), was extracted at three growth stages (full bloom, veraison, and maturity). Results Diversity analysis based on the ITS1 region was performed using QIIME2. We observed that the root-zone restriction technique primarily affected the fungal communities of the soil and plant compartments at different growth stages. Interestingly, Fusarium, Ilyonectria, Cladosporium and Aspergillus spp observed in the rhizosphere overlapped with the phyllosphere at all phenological stages, having distinctive abundance in grapevine habitats. Peak richness and diversity were observed in the rhizosphere at the full bloom stage of control plants, white roots at the veraison stage of treatment, leaves at the maturity stage of treatment, flowers at the full bloom stage and berries at the veraison stage of control plants. Except for white roots, the diversity of soil and plant compartments of treated plants tended to increase until maturity. At the maturity stage of the treated and control plants, the abundance of Aspergillus spp. was 25.99 and 29.48%, respectively. Moreover, the total soluble sugar content of berries was 19.03 obrix and 16 obrix in treated and control plants, respectively, at the maturity stage. Conclusions This is the first elucidative study targeting the fungal diversity of conventional and root-restricted cultivation techniques in a single vineyard. Species richness and diversity are affected by stressful cultivation known as root zone restriction. There is an association between the abundance of Aspergillus spp. and fruit quality because despite causing stress to the grapevine, superior quality of fruit is retrieved in root-zone restricted plants.

Global warming will significantly affect grapevine growth and development. To analyze the effects of high temperature on the leaf tissue structure of grapevines in the field, 19 representative cultivars were selected from the grapevine germplasm resources garden in Turpan Research Institute of Agricultural Sciences, XAAS. Twelve tissue structure indexes of grapevine leaves, including the thickness of the upper epidermis (TUE), the thickness of palisade tissue (TPT), leaf vein (LV), the thickness of spongy tissue (TST), the thickness of the lower epidermis (TLE), stoma (St), guard cell (GC), cuticle (Cu), leaf tissue compactness (CTR) and leaf tissue porosity (SR), were measured during the natural high-temperature period in Turpan. The results showed significant differences in the leaf tissue structure of the 19 grapevine cultivars under natural high temperature. Based on the comprehensive comparative analysis of the leaf phenotype in the field, we identified that the leaves of some cultivars, including ‘Zaoxia Wuhe’, ‘Centennial Seedless’ and ‘Kyoho’ showed strong heat tolerance, whereas grapevine cultivars ‘Golden Finger’, ‘Shine Muscat’, ‘Flame Seedless’, ‘Bixiang Wuhe’ and ‘Thompson Seedless’ showed sensitivity to high temperature. We further evaluated the heat tolerance of different grapevine cultivars by principal component analysis and the optimal segmentation clustering of ordered samples. These findings provide a theoretical basis for adopting appropriate cultivation management measures to reduce the effect of high temperatures and offer fundamental knowledge for future breeding strategies for heat-tolerant grapevine varieties.
