Soil properties and rhizosphere microbial communities are increasingly recognised as critical determinants of grapevine performance and fruit composition, yet their combined influence remains underexplored in cool-climate viticulture.
Preserving woody crop cuttings in cold storage rooms is critical to maintain their physiological viability and ensure optimal field performance upon transplanting. However, the effect of temperature on the cutting's metabolic activity during storage, and subsequent transplanting success and growth, remains unknown.
Intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) plays a key role in studying the physiological adaptation of grapevines to different environments, so it must be thoroughly assessed when selecting the most suitable cultivars for each region in the context of climate change.
Increasing regulatory restrictions on herbicide use and growing interest in sustainable viticulture are driving the search for alternative weed management strategies.
The concept of terroir, understood as the interaction between environment, genotype and vineyard management, defines vine balance and grape quality.
More and more vineyards across Europe are adopting irrigation, alongside rainfall, to ensure crop sustainability in the context of climate change.
A study was carried out to investigate the genetic diversity of 120 grapevine samples collected from marginal areas in the Apulia region, using simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers generated by genotyping by sequencing (GBS).
Several practices can be applied to vineyards to ensure good healthy for soil and grapevines, adequate yield and fruit quality, among them the use of cover crops.
When exposed to pathogen infection or UV radiation, grapevine (Vitis vinifera) plants rapidly accumulate the stilbenoid resveratrol (Res) with concomitant increase of stilbene synthase (STS), the key enzyme in stilbene biosynthesis.
The most notable effects of global warming on grapevine response include an earlier phenological timeline, increased sugar concentration in grapes, and decreased acidity.
