The investigation of the ecological role of Peniophora lycii in grapevine disease development
Peniophora lycii (Höhnel and Litschauer 1907) is a white-rot, wood-decaying basidiomycete in the family Peniophoraceae (order Russales).
Exploring plant responses through the integration of genomics and metabolomics for precision viticulture: A 3-year study on the effects of shading nets on grapevines performance and productivity
Grapevine is one of the most world widespread fruit crops and is a valuable source for studying adaptive responses to environmental stress.
Application of Balanced Entropy Index as a predictor of soil hydraulic properties in vineyard soils of Jumilla (SE Spain)
In recent decades the Mediterranean Basin has been experiencing a sustained increase in temperatures and an irregularity in the distribution of rainfall that increases the probability of the occurrence of periods of intense drought.
Rootstock-dependent response of amino acid and anthocyanin composition in grenache grapes to elevated temperature
Adaptation of viticulture to future climate scenarios includes the exploration of grapevine (Vitis spp.) rootstock varieties.
Influence of genetic, ontogenetic, and climatic factors on pressure-volume curve traits of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.): A quantitative synthesis
Understanding how grapevines respond to water stress is crucial for adapting viticulture to increasingly variable climatic conditions (Chaves et al., 2010).
Impact of Agrivoltaics on berry ripening: preliminary results for the white cv. Encruzado
Mediterranean viticulture faces increasing risks from extreme heat and drought due to climate change, often leading to unbalanced grape composition and accelerated ripening. Agrivoltaic systems (AV),
Rainout shelters as a tool to simulate climate change impacts on the vineyard ecosystem
Drought can impact grapevine physiology, yield, berry composition and wine quality, as extensively demonstrated in controlled experiments (Flor et al., 2025; Hewitt et al., 2023).
Telomere length as a genomic biomarker of well-being in grapevines: current progress in a multi-year study on Aglianico under varying water conditions
Telomere length is emerging as a fast, sensitive, and cost-effective genomic biomarker for assessing stress exposure and physiological status in plants.
Elevated CO2 accelerates berry ripening only in high vigor rootstocks
One of the key impacts of climate change in plants is the increase in atmospheric CO2. In vineyards (Vitis vinifera), elevated CO2 may alter phenology, yields and wine grape quality.
