Context and purpose of the study. The primary fungal diseases affecting grapevines in Europe are downy mildew and powdery mildew.
Berry Shrivel (BS, Traubenwelke) is a sugar accumulation disorder of grapevine of unknown causes, having a great negative impact on grape quality and incalculable risks for yield losses, and for which no reliable curative practices are available.
Context and Purpose of the Study. In many countries, the preservation of grape varieties with heritage value is ensured by genebanks of outstanding significance, which allow for the study of these varieties and the assessment of their future roles in response to environmental, market, and social challenges.
Climate change has varied effects across French vineyards, with marked regional differences in temperature shifts. Fine-scale studies highlight significant local climate variability, emphasizing the need for precise regional characterization to adapt vineyard management at the regional scale.
Bois noir (BN) is a cicada-transmitted grapevine disease that today causes up to 50% yield and vine loss in vineyards. It is caused by the phytoplasma Candidatus Phytoplasma solani (16SrXII-A).
Growing fungus-tolerant cultivars (PIWIs) reduces the need of fungicide use by 50-80 %. PIWIs have the potential to address climate change adaptation and mitigation simultaneously.
Context and purpose of the study. As other perennial crops grapevine is facing the challenges of climate changes. One of the major issues is global warming and variations of the water budget.
Understanding the impact of rootstocks on grapevine water relations is crucial to face climate change maintaining vineyard productivity and sustainability.
The effects of climate change on viticulture are complex due to interactions among factors and cascading effects.
Exposing berries to solar radiation improves most berry composition traits. Many of these effects have been linked to photomorphogenic mechanisms and berry temperature.
