Towards the definition of a detailed transcriptomic map of grape berry development
In the last years the application of genomic tools to the analysis of gene expression during grape berry development generated a huge amount of transcriptomic data
A few observations on double sigmoid fruit growth
Many fleshy fruit, including the grape berry, exhibit a double‐sigmoid growth (DSG) pattern. Identification of the curious DSG habit has long been attributed to Connors’ (1919) work with peaches
Evaluation of vineyards, fruit and wine affected by wild fire smoke
Wineries may randomly reject fruit from vineyards near wild fires exposed to smoke. It is difficult to determine if fruit has been compromised in quality when exposed to smoke
The temperature‐based grapevine sugar ripeness (GSR) model for adapting a wide range of Vitis vinifera L. cultivars in a changing climate
Temperatures are increasing due to climate change leading to advances in grapevine phenology and sugar accumulation in grape berries.
Can varietal ‘apricot’ aroma of Viognier wine be controlled with clonal selection and harvest timing?
Recent wine-like reconstitution sensory studies confirmed that several monoterpenes were the key aroma compounds in the perception of an ‘apricot’ aroma attribute in Viognier wine.
