The effect of postharvest defoliation on carbon balance of Sauvignon blanc vines
A study was undertaken to quantify the importance of postharvest carbon assimilation on replenishment of CHO reserves of high-yielding Sauvignon blanc vines.

Monitoring arthropod diversity in Douro wine region vineyards and evaluating the impact of the landscape
On the second year of the European project LIFE+ “BioDiVine Demonstrating functional biodiversity in viticulture landscapes”, ADVID, in charge for is implementation in Alto Douro Vinhateiro (UNESCO classified area in the Douro Valley, Portugal),
Activity of Mimosa tenuiflora extract for the control of Plasmopara viticola
European Union established a legal framework for achieving a sustainable use of pesticides (Directive 2009/128/EC). In line with the scope of this Directive research activities were carried out in order to use non chemical alternatives with less impact on the environment and human health than synthetic pesticides.
Evaluation of the of early powdery mildew control and the ascospores release in vineyards at Douro region
Powdery mildew is the most harmful disease of grapevines in Douro region. To control this disease the use of fungicides takes a greater importance in different strategies.
Assessment of grape bunch temperature variability in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Shiraz
Different sensor types are available to assess grape bunch/berry temperature, but to study its variability within complex grapevine canopies is difficult.
About clonal variability in grapevine (example of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet franc) and the importance of saving genetic diversity
Clonal selection has become the almost unique way of propagating plant material for vineyards. Clonal selection allows control of virus diseases and selection of genotypes on agronomic, viticultural or enological criteria.
Plant hydraulics: recent advances and some perspectives in the grapevine
Over the last few decades, the study of the grapevine water status has been the focus of much attention. Numerous indicators, direct and indirect, of plant water status have been put forward and tested.
Implications of berry size variation of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Syrah
Berry size has always been considered a quality factor for wine production, but size variation is a reality in commercial vineyards. In this study, Syrah (clone SH 9C) grapes from a single vineyard, located in the semi-arid Breede River Valley of South Africa
Relationship between berry size and their oenological potential
The impact of berry size on the composition and the oenological potential of grapes is currently a topic under discussion.
Microvine: An ecophysiological model for grapevine
Microvine is a natural mutant of grapevine characterized by a dwarf, rapid cycling and continuous flowering phenotype.
