Optimizing protocol for a rapid and cost effective DNA isolation for Marker Assisted Selection pipeline

Defoliation is one of the green operations more used in viticulture, whose results can be very different depending on the variety and the moment of realization. Early leaf removal consists of the elimination

In the paper is discussed the first example of environmental protection, agreed in a wide term sense, by means of vitiviniculture zonations performed in Istria (Croatia) in the area of Butoniga lake

Although the ripening process of grapevine berries is well-documented at the vineyard level, pinpointing distinct developmental stages remains challenging. The asynchronous development of berries results in dynamic biases and metabolic chimerism. It is thus crucial to consider individual berries separately and resynchronize their internal clock for deciphering physiological changes throughout development. Given the importance of grape composition in wine quality, we aimed at measuring developmental changes in the metabolome of Syrah single berries from anthesis to over-ripening, without a priori preconceived.

Grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch) is a major insect pest that has had devastating effects in grape-growing regions worldwide. As a result, using phylloxera-resistant rootstocks is a key component of modern vineyard management.

Epigenetics corresponds to the complement of genetic information carried in chromatin beyond the DNA sequence.
