Protocols for soil functionality assessment in vineyards
The purpose of this guideline is to describe the methods used during ReSolVe project for soil functionality assessment, so they can be implemented in similar studies.
A brief introduction first underlines what are the main functions of soil and why maintaining an optimal soil functionality is particularly of major interest in viticulture.
Then the different protocols selected for ReSolVe project and this guideline are presented according to the following classification:
- Part I: assessment of soil physical and chemical features;
- Part II: assessment of soil biological features (ecosystem service provision and providers);
- Part III: assessment of rhizosphere biological features;
- Part IV: assessment of grapevine quantitative and qualitative indicators reflecting soil functionality.
In each part, global objectives of the monitoring are explained (what is it used for, in which cases…) and the parameters to evaluate are listed with their corresponding methodological sheet.
In these sheets, instructions and information are given about:
- Materials needed to perform the sampling and the measurement
- Sampling procedure
- Analysis procedure
- Possible interpretations and conclusions that can be drawn (value and meaning of the results, indication of reference values when existing, potential limit of the protocol)
- Bibliographic references related to the method described
- Additional helpful information where appropriate (ex: template of sampling sheet

87Sr/86Sr in wines, grapevine sap, soils, and bedrocks: an experimental study on geologic and pedologic characterisation using radiogenic isotope of heavy elements
Tracing the 87Sr/86Sr from rocks and soils to vine and wine: An experimental study on geologic and pedologic characterisation of vineyards using radiogenic isotope of heavy elements.
From vine to wine: data on 87Sr/86Sr from rocks and soils as a geologic and pedologic characterisation of vineyards
This data article describes the soils characterisation, bedrock geochemical composition and descriptive statistics of 87Sr/86Sr in wines, grape saps, labile fractions of soils (bio-available), whole soils, and bedrocks used to explore the Sr isotope conservation from rocks and soils to vine and wine. These data also describe the reproducibility of the isotopic composition of wine over four harvest years (2008–2011) on 11 selected experimental parcels (sampling point). The data reported in this paper are related to the research article (Braschi et al., 2018) [1]
Pt(IV)Ac-POA: new platinum compound Induced caspase independent apoptosis In B50 neuroblastoma stem cells
Neuroblastoma is a tumour that affects adults and children, characterized by a stem cells component. To date, cisplatin is
the main antitumor agent used in the clinical treatment of this tumour; however, it induces side effects such as neurotoxicity in healthy cells and induces chemo resistance to therapy in cancer cells. New platinum-based compounds, platinum (II) have recently been synthesized, and due to their chemical characteristics, they are able to identify new cellular targets. These complexes act as prodrugs and performing their cytotoxic effect as platinum (II) after a reduction reaction within the hypoxic tumour cells. Among these prodrugs, Pt(IV)Ac-POA appears to be very promising, thanks to the presence of ligand (2 propinyl)octanoic acid (POA), which acts as an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDACi) and leads to the increase of histone acetylation, decreasing the interactions between histone and DNA, so as to produce chemo-sensitization to DNA-damaging agents. The greater cytotoxic effect of Pt(IV)Ac-POA on tumour cells, would therefore be mainly due to the mechanism of inhibition of histone deacetylase, which would increase the accessibility of DNA to platination mechanisms that induce cell death. In this study the results show that Pt(IV)Ac-POA, used at a concentration ten times lower than cisplatin, can induce apoptosis in B50 cells in culture both through the intrinsic pathway and through the independent caspase pathway. The data, obtained by immunohistochemical techniques in fluorescence microscopy, show that treatment with Pt(IV)Ac-POA has a greater proapoptotic effect on stem cells compared to the cisplatin standard treatment
