Harnessing biodiversity to improve grapevine rootstock adaptation to drought
Drought is one of the most challenging threats for viticulture because of its impact on reducing yield and on the composition of grapes.

Resistance profiling of PIWI accessions: insights from Geisenheim university’s breeding program
Context and purpose of the study. Fungus-resistant grape varieties (PIWIs) represent a significant advancement toward more environmentally sustainable viticulture.
Microclimate manipulation: leveraging the microclimatic differences created by diverse trellis systems to investigate the metabolic plasticity of Vitis vinifera cv. Chenin blanc in a model vineyard
Field-grown crops such as grapevines, rely on ambient environmental conditions for growth and development.
Are biochemical markers the key to predicting wine aroma balance?
Wine aroma quality is a complex interplay of factors like terroir, vinification techniques, that modulate aroma compound composition.
Using gene editing to improve the hydraulic properties of grapevine roots under water stress conditions
Context and purpose of the study. Epidermal Patterning Factors are a family of small peptides that are highly conserved in the plant kingdom and are involved in several physiological and developmental processes.
New genomic techniques for sustainable management of water stress and pathogen control
Context and purpose of the study. Climate changes pose the need to develop new grapevine varieties and rootstocks that are more tolerant to stress and diseases.
Evaluation of clonal variability of phenolic compounds in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Trnjak crni grown in Croatia
Context and purpose of the study. Croatia has rich grapevine genetic resources with more than 130 native varieties preserved.
Simulating the effect of heat waves on disease-resistant varieties
Agro-ecological transition and adaptation to climate change are the two major challenges facing modern agriculture.
Back to the roots: how an underutilised biotechnological tool can support research to improve grapevine resilience against biotic stressors in an unpredictable future
Hairy roots (HRs) are a symptom of a natural genetic modification by the soil-borne phytopathogen Rhizobium rhizogenes.
The effectiveness of proximal remote sensors in plant water status evaluation of grapevine
Extensive studies have been conducted on grapevine responses to water deficit, but these responses are difficult to generalise since numerous factors can influence the response(s), including genotype, developmental stage, soil, climate, and season.
