Berry fresh weight and composition are under the control of complex interactions among
genotype, environmental factors, and viticulture practice, which all affect not only the mean …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Biologists use a system of identification based on the degree of physical and physiological
similarity between organisms known as taxonomy. Early attempts at classifi cation involved …

Recent advances in the understanding of the physiology of berry growth and in modelling

This chapter describes the majority of the grape production areas of the world are
characterized by Mediterranean type climates having warm to hot temperatures and little …

In order to investigate the unique contribution of individual wine grape (Vitis vinifera) berry
tissues and water‐deficit to wine quality traits, a survey of tissue‐specific differences in …

The wine industry is facing critical issues due to climate changes since production is
established on very tight Genotype× Environment interaction bases. While, some cultivation …

Phloem unloading is thought to switch from a symplastic route to an apoplastic route at the
beginning of ripening in grape berries and some other fleshy fruits. However, it is unclear …

Solar irradiance and air temperature are characterized by dramatic circadian fluctuations
and are known to significantly modulate fruit composition. To date, it remains unclear …

For grape production, an important driver for the selection of varieties better adapted to
climate fluctuations, especially warming, is the balance between fruit sugars and acidity …
