Context and purpose of the study. Climate change in many Mediterranean wine-growing regions is resulting in lower rainfall and higher reference evapotranspiration, generally leading to reduced water availability for vines.
Extreme climatic events, such as prolonged drought followed by intense flooding, increasingly impact viticulture, affecting vine physiology, productivity, and grape composition.
Bud fruitfulness is a key determinant of the potential and the actual yield. The formation of the grapevine yield spans over a period of two consecutive growing seasons (Ferrara & Mazzeo, 2023).
The intricate relationship between the necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea and grape berries (Vitis vinifera spp.) can lead to the development of either the desirable noble rot (NR) or the unfavourable grey rot (GR), depending on the prevailing weather conditions.
Botrytis cinerea is one of the most widespread host-specific fungal pathogens, causing significant yield losses and economic damage to vineyards every year.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important economic crops in the world. Because of this importance, one finds widespread molecular genetic research on this species, an important element of which is high quality RNA.
Actually, many countries around the world are studying different strategies for adapting winegrowing regions to climate changes, focusing on a sustainable viticulture.
This project aims on monitoring the plant development and comparison of the effects of various training systems on vine fertility and physiological processes.
Context and Purpose of the Study. A deeper understanding of the relationship between weather conditions and wine quality is essential for assessing the impact of climate change and developing effective adaptation strategies.
Context and purpose of the study. `Grüner Veltliner´ is the most important Austrian white quality wine variety, which is mainly used to produce primary fruity wines.
The red Italian variety Nebbiolo (Vitis vinifera L.), used in the production of the prestigious Barolo and Barbaresco wines, is renowned for its aromatic and structural complexity but also for its low color intensity.
Context and purpose of the study. The seasons immediately following planting are key growth stages where young vines are particularly susceptible to various forms of damage.
Climate change impacts grape production worldwide and in California drought and salinity became increasingly challenging for grape growers to maintain sustainable production and fruit quality.
Context and purpose of the study. Nitrogen (N) limitation enhances the production of phenolic compounds in grapes due to the downregulation of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway.
Context and purpose of the study. In relation to global geo changes, including climatic ones, the following research has been conducted: 1. In Europe’s highest vineyard (1395 m.a.s.l.) (Cargnello, 2014÷2021; Cargnello & Col. 2019÷2021)
This multidisciplinary study investigates “”Vitivoltaics,”” where photovoltaic (PV) panels are integrated into vineyard systems to generate renewable energy while providing partial shade to grapevines.
Climate change poses significant challenges for viticulture, particularly in Mediterranean regions like Portugal, where extreme heat and drought conditions are becoming more frequent.
Morphological image analysis is a powerful technique used in various fields, including agriculture, to quantitatively assess the physical characteristics of objects. In viticulture, the accurate assessment of grapevine characteristics is essential for optimizing crop management and improving the quality of wine production.
