Changes in the performance of genotypes in different environments are defined as genotype
× environment (G×E) interactions. In grapevine (Vitis vinifera), complex interactions …

Background Magna Graecia is the ancient name for the modern geopolitical region of South
Italy extensively populated by Greek colonizers, shown by archeological and historical …

Estimating leaf area index (LAI) of Vitis vinifera using indirect methods involves some critical
issues, related to its discontinuous and non-homogeneous canopy. This study evaluates the …

Most of the vineyards around the world are in areas characterized by seasonal drought,
where water deficits and high temperatures represent severe constraints on the regular …

This work aims at the identification and discrimination of mineral deficiency symptoms by
reflectance spectroscopy. Vitis vinifera L. plants were subjected to 5 different hydroponic …

The viticulture of Sicily, for its vocation, is one of the most important and ancient forms in Italy.
Autochthonous grapevine cultivars, many of which known throughout the world, have …

Climate, soil, and vineyard performance were characterized in the northern Italian alpine
valley of Valtellina to develop an ecophysiological model for zoning viticultural aptitude of the …

Although many studies in the literature illustrate the numerous devices and methodologies
nowadays existing for assessing the spatial variability within agricultural fields, and indicate …

Grapevines worldwide are grafted onto Vitis spp. rootstocks in order to improve their tolerance
to biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, the response of vines to drought is the result of the …

Drought in grapevine could be faced using tolerant rootstocks. The present work aims at the
evaluation of 25 new genotypes potentially tolerant to drought by using recent methods of …
