Résumé
The influence of soil moisture and different rootstock genotypes on the 18O/16O ratio of must-water in grapes was investigated. Grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) with cv. Cabernet Sauvignon as scion grafted on rootstocks 101-14, 420A and 41B were subjected to three levels of plant-available soil-water from veraison to harvest. Significant differences were observed in the 18O level of must-water, the differences being related to water regime and rootstock genotype, with 18O increasing as soil-water became less available. The higher the canopy-air vapour pressure gradient (VPG), the larger was the oxygen isotope content of must-water, indicating that VPG is an important factor in determining the degree of must-water enrichment under water deficit conditions. In all water regimes of soil, 41B induced the highest degree of 18O enrichment in must-water. The differences between rootstocks in must-water 18O could not fully be explained either by the rootstock effect on VPG or on root distribution.
