Yield and mineral composition of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Karaerik)as affected by boron management

Abstract

IntroductionBoron (B) is very important for the healthy growth and development of grapevine (Fortunati, 2006). B plays an important role in sugar transport, cell differentiation, cell wall synthesis, root elongation, regulation of plant hormone levels, and generative growth of plants (Marschner, 1995). B deficiency symptoms include the root tips not elongating, inhibition of RNA and DNA synthesis in young leaves (Salisbury and Ross, 1992), fruit sets containing grape bunches of abnormal varying sizes, and decreasing of berry setting (Cristensen et al., 2006;Fortunati, 2006).The uptake of B is affected by irrigation, and under drought stress, high rainfall, and intensive irrigation it could limit plant growth, especially in sand soils, with the ion being leached from the soil profile (Pearson and Goheen, 1998). B deficiency is widespread in highly calcareous soils with loose structure and low organic content, and in vineyards leached by low B irrigation water on sandy alluvial soil of granitic origin (Cook et al., 1960;Corino et al., 1990; Csikász-Krizsics and Diofási, 2007).The soils of northeastern Anatolia have low organic matter, high pH, high free lime content, and usually a fine texture. These properties affect the sufficiency of

Vitis vinifera Turkish grape cultivar Karaerik. Part I: anthocyanin composition, and identification of a newly found anthocyanin†

“…Cimin grape), which is black in color and has large‐grained berries, is a new V. vinifera cultivar native to Turkey . It has a high market value, and is therefore widely cultivated as a table grape in the district of Üzümlü and its surrounding areas/towns (Pişkidağ, Göller, Karakaya, Bayırbağ, Çadırtepe, and Çağlayan) of the city of Erzincan for years . According to a recent report, the annual production of the grape in the regions is 3764 t (4.95 t/ha)…”

A nutritional evaluation of the berry of a new grape: 'Karaerik' (Vitis vinifera L.)

“…It was determined with the present study that sampling locations having different soil characteristics affected the mineral composition of the grape berry. Güneş, Köse, and Turan (2015) have studied the effect of different boron concentrations on nutrient uptake Abbreviations (plus superscripts): TA; titratable acidity, DM; dry matter, MC; moisture content TSS; total soluble solid, TSS/TA; total soluble solid/titratable acidity, FS; fruit size, FF; fruit firmness, w; whole grape berry, p; peel, s; seed, C16:0; palmitic acid, C18:0; stearic acid, C18:1; oleic acid, C18:2; linoleic acid, C18:3; α-linolenic acid, SFA; saturated fatty acids, UFA; unsaturated fatty acids, MUFA; monounsaturated fatty acids, PUFA; polyunsaturated fatty acids, Asterisks indicate significance at * P <0.05 and ** P <0.01, NS; non-significant.…”
