The interaction between rootstock and scion can influence the vegetative and productive
balance of grapevines. Vascular connections and patterns may be related to the observed …

In grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), rootstocks are known to alter scion development by modifying
stem weight and yield. The aim of this work was to evaluate the contribution of primary …

Selection of a suitable rootstock lays the foundation for meeting vineyard, grape and wine
objectives. Tolerance to biotic and abiotic conditions is a determining factor. Despite the …

Abstract Background and Aims: Grafting is used in viticulture worldwide. Rootstocks are
known to alter scion development or 'confer vigour'to varying degrees. This work examines …

Abstract Background and Aims Grafting in viticulture has been essential since the advent of
the phylloxera crisis at the end of the 19th century, but relatively little is known about the …

Understanding how root systems modulate shoot system phenotypes is a fundamental
question in plant biology and will be useful in developing resilient agricultural crops. Grafting …

With the seasonal change from winter to spring, grapevine compound buds break dormancy
and start a new annual developmental cycle. The rebuilding of vascular connections …

During the development of many fleshy fruits, water flow becomes progressively more
phloemic and less xylemic. In grape (Vitis vinifera L.), the current hypothesis to explain this …

Since the second half of the XIX th century, grapevine has been grown grafted worldwide to
cope with Phylloxera. Consequently, the cultivated grapevine is a chimeric plant made from …

Scion-rootstock interactions were analyzed to test the interaction between environment and
above-ground vine phenology. The experiment employed 'Marechal Foch'and 'Vidal …
