Evaluation of the adaptation of Palomino Fino clones based on their physiological response
Genetic diversity within grapevine cultivars is a fundamental resource for varietal improvement and adaptation to cultivation requirements.
Late pruning as a tool to reduce the risk of spring frosts in a vineyard in Rioja Alavesa (DO Ca Rioja)
The increase in temperature caused by climate change produces an earlier budbreak date that affects the vineyard, which generates a greater risk of damage by spring frosts.
Circular viticulture: transforming grapevine waste into sustainable fibers
Annually, around 31.95 million tonnes of grapevine prunings are produced worldwide as agricultural waste.
Yield characteristics and environmental effects of plastic covers on table grape with relation to chemical, physical, radiometric and satellite analyses
Climate change poses a significant challenge for global viticulture, with growing evidence of its negative impact on thermal and hydric regimes, both of which are essential for the development of table grapes.
Rară Neagră 2.0: prospecting, improving and safeguarding the biodiversity in an eastern european heritage grape variety
The Rară Neagră 2.0 project aims to restore and safeguard the intra-varietal diversity of the ancient Eastern European grape variety Rară Neagră through polyclonal selection and the establishment of a certified genetic conservatory.
Grapevine genotypes with potential for reducing the carbon footprint in the atmosphere and cultivation in a biological system
The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing from year to year. Taking into account the calculations of the greenhouse gas inventory, it was found that approximately 70% of CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed by vegetation (forests, agricultural land, etc.).
The ampelographic collection – glorious past, challenging present, expectant future
During the more than 190 years since the founding of the first ampelographic collection, the creation of a series of collections is attested on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, each operating in different historical periods and socio-economic conditions,
Emerging pest pressures in viticulture: a brief review of Argyrotaenia Ljungiana in Eastern Europe
As viticulture faces increasing threats from emerging pests, understanding and dealing with new infestations is crucial.
Control of grapevine virus diseases in collections and at the stages of propagation in Ukraine
The principles of virological control on different types of grapevine collections and plantations are summarized.
Novel ATR-FTIR and UV-Vis spectral markers for assessing the Prooxidant/Antioxidant Balance (PAB) in white wines
The browning index (BI), based on the absorbance at 420 nm, is a common oxidation marker in white wines, typically measured after thermal stress (50–60 °C for 5 up to 12 days) in air-saturated wines.
Genomic perspective of Lachancea thermotolerans in wine bioacidification
We have sequenced two commercial strains of Lachancea thermotolerans (Lt) from the company Lallemand: Laktia™ y Blizz™.
Yeast derivatives: an innovative approach to produce Oenococcus oeni under biofilm form?
The malolactic fermentation can occur naturally or be induced by inoculation of selected bacterial strains, most commonly of Oenococcus oeni.
Towards an ecological architecture inspired by underground cellars: An example of the thermal inertia of Moldovan underground cellars and new geothermal and Canadian well approaches
The search for underground shelters is one of the oldest forms of human habitation, providing refuge in extreme environments such as deserts and polar regions.
Tribological astringency index a parameter for adjusting maceration in red grapes winemaking
Astringency is one of the leading quality factors in red wines.
The impact of climate change on wine tourism in Germany
Climate change is profoundly impacting wine tourism in Germany and presents new challenges for wineries.
Metschnikowia pulcherrima: A valuable microbial bioresource from wine for smart agrifood
The yeast Metschnikowia pulcherrima is a microorganism of great biotechnological interest, both for improving winemaking processes and for other applications outside the wine supply chain.
Launching the GiESCO guide
Considering that the transfer of research results to the professional level is one of the keys to progress, GiESCO proposes to publish a technical guide supported by scientific references and in the form of standard sheets.
The opportunities offered by the climate change
Based on the results of experiments since 2000 at the Institut Agro Montpellier and at INRAE – Pech Rouge, and on the international experience acquired during scientific missions, a global reflection on the opportunities offered by climate change is proposed.
Under-vine cover crops in viticulture: impact of different weed management practices on weed suppression, yield and quality of grapevine cultivar Riesling
The regulation of weeds, particularly in the under-vine area of grapevines, is essential for the maintenance of grape yield and quality.
Rootstocks: how the dark side of the vine can enlight the future?
Global challenges, including adaptation to climate change, decrease of the environmental impacts and maintenance of the economical sustainability shape the future of viticulture.
