Evaluating the STICS model for simulating grapevine development across contrasting soil types at a local scale in Saint-Émilion
Viticulture is increasingly threatened by climate change, making crop models essential tools for assessing vineyard adaptation.
BIOVID: new generation of grapevine biotypes for adaptation to wide agroclimatic variations
For VIVEROS VILLANUEVA (VV), it is vitally important to have grafted plants capable of adapting to the changing climatic and agronomic conditions faced by the wine sector.
Does the application of biostimulants trigger grapevine responses to soil water availability differently depending on vineyard exposure and microclimate?
Climate projections highlight substantial risks for viticulture (Sgubin et al., 2023), with heat and drought being major threats to grape quality and yield.
Canopy management strategies to enhance grapevine adaptation to climate change in the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG area
Viticulture faces significant challenges due to climate change, with increased frequency of extreme wearther events impacting grapevine growth, grape quality, and wine production.
Long-term airborne pollen captures in winegrowing regions as a tool to predict yield and quality and to monitor the impact of climate change on phenology
Pollen sensors were developed in the 1980s to monitor airborne pollen concentrations over the time of flowering, in order to provide early yield forecasts in winegrowing regions.
Maintaining the typicity of wines in a context of climate change: the impact of delimitation – example of the Côte Roannaise PDO
Côte Roannaise AOP is an appellation recognized for its red wines. It is located in a foothill area, in the Loire department (France).
Defining the grapevine establishment load resulting from planting practices
The grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a perennial crop species cultivated for decades in vineyards. After establishment, the root system develops within the soil to support water and nutrient acquisition.
Influence of soil physicochemistry and rhizosphere microbial communities on Pinot noir grape composition in two biodynamic vineyards
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.
Comparative analysis of oxygen consumption and metabolic parameters in grapevine cuttings exposed to cold storage
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.
Water use efficiency and carbon uptake of international cultivars under water stress
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.
Closing the loop: vineyard and winery biomass for sustainable weed control
Increasing regulatory restrictions on herbicide use and growing interest in sustainable viticulture are driving the search for alternative weed management strategies.
Assessing the influence of pedoclimatic conditions and intra-varietal variability on vine performance in mediterranean viticulture
The concept of terroir, understood as the interaction between environment, genotype and vineyard management, defines vine balance and grape quality.
VINIRRIG: A new e-learning teaching vineyard irrigation from theory to practice
More and more vineyards across Europe are adopting irrigation, alongside rainfall, to ensure crop sustainability in the context of climate change.
Genetic diversity of newly recovered marginal grapevine germplasm from Southern Italy for a sustainable viticulture
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).
Management of soil cover plants impacted the composition of Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes and red wines in a temperate climate
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.
MYB30 and MYB14 form a repressor-activator module with WRKY8 that controls stilbene biosynthesis in grapevine under UV radiation
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.
A literature review on the leaf-to-fruit ratio in viticulture and its adaptation in the context of global warming
The most notable effects of global warming on grapevine response include an earlier phenological timeline, increased sugar concentration in grapes, and decreased acidity.
A conceptual model relating soil temperature and water to support decision in Mediterranean vineyards
Sustainability and climate together with wine oversupply, are major challenges faced by the wine industry.
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.
