Abstract
In the near future, stomatal behaviour will be crucial to counteract conditions arising from climate change. Grapevine varieties are classified as either isohydric or anisohydric, depending on the sensitivity of stomata to water deficit and on their water potential homeostasis. However, the great variability observed in different studies indicates that a continuum exists in the range of stomatal sensitivity to water stress. Thus, more knowledge about the hydric behaviour and the gas exchange of isohydric and anisohydric grapevine varieties under different water conditions could lead to the development of irrigation strategies oriented at improving water-use efficiency, yield and berry composition. In this study, research was conducted in order to characterise the stomatal regulation of four different Vitis vinifera L. varieties, namely Pinot noir, Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay and Merlot, according to soil water status. Measurements of leaf gas exchange, together with measurements of stem water potential (s) and leaf water potential (l), were taken during two seasons. Under conditions of water stress, Chardonnay and Merlot reached a minimum s of -1.67 and -1.68 MPa respectively, and higher levels of water-use efficiency (A N/ g s ), of 62.3 and 69.7 mol CO 2/ mol H 2 O respectively. In Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir, the minimum s was -1.26 and -1.40 MPa respectively, with lower levels of A N/ g s (53.1 and 50.5 mol CO 2/ mol H 2 O, respectively). Under conditions of water stress (l < -0.9 MPa and s < -0.6 MPa), all varieties had a significantly increased A N/ g s 1 , despite a significant reduction in gas exchange. Therefore, the hydric behaviour and gas exchange observed in this study suggest that Chardonnay and Merlot could be characterised as anisohydric varieties, as they present less sensitive stomatal control, while Pinot noir can be classified as a near-anisohydric variety and Sauvignon blanc as an isohydric variety. New investigations should consider other characteristics of the varieties to classify them better.
