DNA-free genome editing confers disease resistance in grapevine varieties
The grapevine is facing significant challenges due to climate change, as rising temperatures impact its physiological traits and disrupt plant phenology.

The wine industry currently relies on a limited number of grapevine cultivars, comprised of numerous clones with slight differences in their viticultural, oenological, or stress-tolerance traits.
In the context of the global crises of global warming, biodiversity and pollution, current agricultural practices need to be reconsidered.
Context and purpose of the study – Grape sunburn is an abiotic stress response triggered by high temperatures.
Climate change is increasing crop evapotranspiration and reducing water availability, especially in the Mediterranean area.
Grapevine rootstocks play a pivotal role in influencing scion vigor, yield, and fruit quality, making their selection critical for sustainable vineyard management.
Drought is one of the main challenges for viticulture in the context of climate change. Selecting drought-tolerant plant material can be an effective strategy for a sustainable viticulture.
