Strigolactones are phytohormones with many attributed roles in development, and more
recently in responses to environmental stress. We will review evidence of the latter in the …

Compressed vintages, high alcohol and low wine acidity are but a few repercussions of
climate change effects on Australian viticulture. While warm and cool growing regions may …

Xylem embolism is one of the possible outcomes of decreasing xylem pressure when plants
face drought. Recent studies have proposed a role for non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) …

The projected increase in temperature and water scarcity represents a challenge for
winegrowers due to changing climatic conditions. Although heat and drought often occur …

Abiotic stresses, such as temperature, heat waves, water limitation, solar radiation and the
increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, significantly influence the accumulation of …

Assessing the interrelationships between belowground, trunk and canopy hydraulics, under
various edaphic conditions, is essential to enhance understanding of how grapevine (Vitis …

Plants have the particularity of fixing carbon and energy, which they store and transport in
the form of carbohydrates. Sugar metabolism therefore plays a central role in the …

Drought profoundly affects the morpho-physiological responses of desert plants in dryland.
To scrutinize the morpho-physiological responses of nitrogen (N)-fixing legumes …

Background The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of soil water stability on maize
(Zea mays L.) yield, water use, and its photosynthetic physiological mechanisms, and to …

Methods We simultaneously monitored soil water potential, stem water potential, leaf water
potential and actual transpiration and investigated how belowground, stem and relative …
