Towards a scientific interpretation of the terroir concept: plasticity of the grape berry metabolome

BACKGROUND: The definition of the terroir concept is one of the most debated issues in oenology and viticulture. The dynamic interaction among diverse factors including the environment, the grapevine plant and the imposed viticultural techniques means that the wine produced in a given terroir is unique. However, there is an increasing interest to define and quantify the contribution of individual factors to a specific terroir objectively. Here, we characterized the metabolome and transcriptome of berries from a single clone of the Corvina variety cultivated in seven different vineyards, located in three macrozones, over a 3-year trial period. RESULTS: To overcome the anticipated strong vintage effect, we developed statistical tools that allowed us to identify distinct terroir signatures in the metabolic composition of berries from each macrozone, and from different vineyards within each macrozone. We also identified non-volatile and volatile components of the metabolome which are more plastic and therefore respond differently to terroir diversity. We observed some relationships between the plasticity of the metabolome and transcriptome, allowing a multifaceted scientific interpretation of the terroir concept. CONCLUSIONS: Our experiments with a single Corvina clone in different vineyards have revealed the existence of a clear terroir-specific effect on the transcriptome and metabolome which persists over several vintages and allows each vineyard to be characterized by the unique profile of specific metabolites.Andrea Anesi, Matteo Stocchero, Silvia Dal Santo, Mauro Commisso, Sara Zenoni, Stefania Ceoldo, Giovanni Battista Tornielli, Tracey E.

Supernatural signification system amuf on death ritual speech nen fen nahat neu nitu in boti society

Signification system in this article is based on de Saussure's idea of syntagmatic and associative relationships (paradigmatic). The theory is then modified by applying cognitive map referring to the principle of signification system. The data used were obtained from the ritual speech Onen Fen Nahat Nitu 'prayer for offering souls' which is grouped into the ritual of death. Data interpretation uses cognitive map instrument to describe the visual image of Boti people's point of view. In this way, the result of the supernatural signifying system 'amuf' is realized by the lingual pronoun of singular second person ho 'you', that is the allomorph of ko 'you' (if it presents as an object/personal pronoun stating ownership/genitive/possessive). The paradigmatic network analysis describes supernatural features of amuf 'ancestral spirits' in 10 paradigmatic relations derived from amuf/ho, namely: (1) ho meitik fani mnahat bi ho lanan 'you bring provisions for your journey'; (2) ho he mfani neu hit ama uis neno 'you go back to father uis neno' (3) ho he mfani neu hit kua mnasi es nane 'you go back to the old village'; (4) ho simo nae ho pa 'ma ho nama' you take your rights and portion '; (5) ho he mnao nei bi tabu i 'you go now'; (6) leka ho mtia hit uam mnasi if you get to our old village '; (7) ho mueku mok ale 'hit amuf sin' you meet our ancestors' (8) ho mnaiti mutonan sin, onen neu kai bi pah manifu i 'you meet them, pray for us'; (9) ho mnao 'you go'; (10) ho naikais amnikan kai ok-oke 'you do not forget us all'

Pengaruh Penggunaan Tepung Limbah Rumput Laut Merah (Euchema Cottonii) Terfermenetasi terhadap Kecernaan Kalsium dan Fosfor pada Ternak Babi Peranakan Landrace Fase Grower

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using fermented red seaweed (Euchema cottonii) waste flour in the ration on the consumption and digestibility of calcium and phosphorus in the grower phase of landrace crossbreed pigs. 12 pigs aged 3-5 months with an average initial body weight of 49.1kg, with a coefficient of variance of 25.52%. The design used in this study was a RAK consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments tested is R0: 100% basal ration without fermented seaweed waste flour (control), R1: 95% basal ration + 5% fermented seaweed waste flour, R2: 90% basal ration + 10% fermented seaweed waste flour, R3: 85% basal ration + 15% fermented seaweed waste flour. The variables measured were the consumption and digestibility of calcium and phosporous. ANOVA result show that the treatment had no significant effect (P&gt;0.05) on the consumption of P, and the digestibility of Ca and P, but the consumption of Ca had a significant effect (P &lt;0.05). The results of further tests on Ca consumption showed that treatment R3 had a significant effect (P&lt;0.05) on R0 but had no significant effect (P&gt;0.05) on R1 and R2, treatment R2 had a significant effect (P&lt;0.05) on R0 but did not have a significant effect (P&gt;0.05) on R1, the treatment of R1 had no significant effect (P&gt;0.05) on R0. The conclusion of this study is that the use of fermented seaweed waste flour in rations up to a level of 15% has not been able to affect the increase in P consumption and the digestibility of Ca and P, but at the level of 10-15% it can have an effect on calcium consumption in pigs.&#x0D;  &#x0D; Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan tepung limbah rumput laut merah (Euchema cottonii) terfermentasi dalam ransum terhadap konsumsi dan kecernaan kalsium dan fosfor babi peranakan landrace fase grower.

Perlakuan yang diuji yakmi R0: 100% ransum basal tanpa tepung limbah rumput laut terfermentasi (control), R1: 95% ransum basal + 5% tepung limbah rumput laut terfermentasi, R2: 90% ransum basal + 10% tepung limbah rumput laut terfementasi, R3: 85% ransum basal + 15% tepung limbah rumput laut terfermentasi. Variabel yang diukur adalah konsumsi dan kecernaan kalsium dan fosfor. Hasil ANOVA menunjukan perlakuan berpengaruh tidak nyata (P&gt;0,05) terhadap konsumsi P, dan kecernaan Ca dan P, akan tetapi konsumsi Ca berpengaruh nyata (P&lt;0,05). Hasil uji  lanjut terhadap komsumsi Ca menunjukan bahwa perlakuan R3 berpengaruh nyata (P&lt;0,05) terhadap R0 tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata (P&gt;0,05) terhadap R1 dan R2, perlakuan R2 berpengaruh nyata (P&lt;0,05) terhadap R0 tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata (P&gt;0,05) terhadap R1, perlakuan R1 berpengaruh tidak nyata (P&gt;0,05) terhadap R0. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah bahwa penggunaan tepung limbah  rumput laut terfermentasi dalam ransum hingga level 15% belum mampu memberikan pengaruh terhadap kenaikan konsumsi P dan kecernaan Ca dan P, namun pada level 10-15% mampu memberikan pengaruh terhadap konsumsi kalsium pada ternak babi.</jats:p

Marriage system in the indigenous trust describes the relationship of supernatural effect on family kinship in the community. Such the relevance is the primary identifier and the identity of the diversity of the Indonesian nation. It is inevitable that a cultureas a pillar of diversity is a buffer for entering the era of multicultural and globalization. Values of Humanist ??is the power of social relation among individuals in the community groups. This paper describes the characteristic of marriage in society of Boti in East Nusa Tenggara who hold the original trust Halaika.The results shows behaviors that indicate homage to supernatural of Uis Pah (Ruler of the Earth), Uis Oe (Ruler of Water) and Uis Neno (Ruler of Heaven) in a series of marriages that is rich of value and meaning.</jats:p

Noise study of magnetic field sensors based on magnetic tunnel junctions

International audienceLow frequency noise has been studied for two types of magnetic field sensors based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ). The first structure, composed of a few large MTJs, is designed for low noise applications; the second one, composed of hundreds of small MTJs, is designed for general purposes. At low frequency, both structures exhibit 1/f noise, but with very different amplitudes. The sensors for general purposes show a much higher noise level compared to the low-noise sensors. However, the sensitivity of the low noise sensors is much smaller compared to the other ones. Thus, the limit of detection, defined as the ratio of noise and sensitivity, turns out to be roughly the same for both technologies. Using the advantages of each sensor could help to design a sensor with an improved limit of detection
