Field-grown grapevines are often exposed to multiple environmental stresses, which challenges wine-growers to develop sustainable measures to sustain vine growth, yield, and quality. Under field conditions this task is demanding, due to differences in the magnitudes of stresses and associated plant responses. In this study we explored the hypothesis that kaolin-particle film application improves grapevine photoprotection through the regulation of xanthophyll cycle genes, limiting the thermal dissipation of excess energy under harsh environmental conditions. Hence, we selected two grapevine varieties, Touriga-Nacional (TN) and Touriga-Franca (TF), grown in the Douro Demarcated Region, and evaluated changes in light dissipation mechanisms, xanthophyll cycle components, and the expression of xanthophyll cycle genes during the 2017 summer season. The results showed that, from veraison to ripening, kaolin triggered the up-regulation of violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VvVDE1) and zeaxanthin epoxidase (VvZEP1) genes, indicating optimised regulation of the xanthophyll cycle. Kaolin treatment also decreased chlorophyll (Chla, Chlb, Chl(a+b)) and carotenoid (Car) accumulation under increasing summer stress conditions in both varieties and lowered the non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of grapevines on ripening, suggesting a long-term response to summer stress. In addition, kaolin-treated grapevines showed increased Chla/Chlb and lower Chl(a+b)/Car ratios, displaying some features of high light adapted leaves. Overall, this study suggests that kaolin application enabled grapevines to benefit from fluctuating periods of summer stress by managing chlorophyll and carotenoid content and limiting down-regulation of both photochemistry and photoinhibition processes. Under Mediterranean field conditions, kaolin application can be considered an efficient method of minimising summer stress impact on grapevines
