Water saving under drought stress is assured by stomatal closure driven by active (ABA-mediated)
and/or passive (hydraulic-mediated) mechanisms. There is currently no …

Most modern and traditional grape-growing regions are facing challenging times due to the
unpredictability of weather conditions and warming trends. Innovative and sustainable tools …

Frequency of extreme drought events are expected to increase due to climate change.
Perennials are increasingly exposed to recurrent drought during their life span. The aim of the …

Background Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is an economically important crop with a wide

Global warming is endangering maintenance of optimal grape composition in white varietals
aimed at sparkling wine making due to difficulties to maintain adequate acidity and fresh …

This paper follows a first contribution on the long-term effects of variable rate nitrogen
application on vegetative growth and leaf nutritional status of a small Barbera vineyard, where …

The influence of pruning date on yield control and ripening rate of spur-pruned Sangiovese
grapevines was investigated over two years (2013 and 2014). Winter pruning was applied …

Sangiovese vines mechanically spur-pruned during dormancy in February were manually
finished either immediately or post budburst to test the potential of a ‘double-pruning’ …

One of several challenges in cool climate viticulture with a short growing season is to
consistently reach a uniform, optimal fruit technological maturity at harvest before the first autumn …
