Artificial intelligence (AI)-based protein modeling for the interpretation of grapevine genetic variants

In the context of sustainable viticulture that implements organic practices to maintain soil fertility, green manuring plays a crucial role due to its ability to stock carbon and nitrogen in soil while supporting biodiversity.

Considering that „prevention requires information”, in 2007, the european education program wine in moderation (wim) started.
