The XIVth International Symposium on Grapevine Breeding and Genetics is held in Zagreb (Croatia) from June 28 to July 2, 2026.
The event is organised by the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb in collaboration with Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation Split, Institute of Agriculture and Tourism Poreč, Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek.
Florida’s wine industry generates more than $20 billion in annual economic activity, placing the state among the top three wine markets in the United States.
Grape yield and quality largely depend on achieving an optimal balance between crop load and sunlight exposure, which is essential for the development of a desirable phenolic and aromatic profile in grapes.
One possible strategy to face the increasing challenges of climate change in viticulture is the breeding of new climate-resilient grapevine varieties using modern breeding techniques, e.g. marker-assisted-selection.
Berry splitting is a major physiological disorder in fleshy fruits that undermines quality, yield, and shelf life.
In Korea, red wine has often been produced from table-grape cultivars such as ‘Campbell Early’ and ‘Muscat Bailey A’.
Grapevine breeding programs aim to develop cultivars that combine high productivity, oenological quality, disease resistance, and adaptability to diverse environmental conditions.
Yeasts significantly influence wine aroma through various mechanisms, particularly by producing volatile aroma compounds.
At the experimental field for viticulture in Sremski Karlovci, Serbia, grape breeding started 70 years ago.
Acceptance of new disease-resistant cultivars in viticulture and winemaking remains limited, despite their enhanced resistance to major fungal diseases.
The rise of average temperatures worldwide influences grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) phenology by accelerating its development, starting from anticipated budbreak dates.
