Water availability is arguably the most important environmental factor limiting crop growth
and productivity. Erratic precipitation patterns and increased temperatures resulting from …

Tannins are a group of polyphenols found in fruits, leaves, trees, etc., well known in the
leather industry and in apples, persimmons and grapes, because of their capacity to interact …

Rising temperatures in most agricultural regions of the world are associated with a higher
incidence of extreme weather events such as heat waves. We performed an experiment to …

The grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is managed to balance the ratio of leaf area (source) to fruit
mass (sink). Over cropping in the grapevine may reveal itself as spontaneous fruit abortion …

Factors such as extreme temperatures, light radiation, and nutritional condition influence the
physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes associated with fruit development and …

The high phenolic compound content of grapes makes them an important source of natural
antioxidants, among other beneficial health properties. Vineyard irrigation might affect berry …

The incidence of solar radiation on red-skinned grapes can promote the synthesis of
flavonoids desirable for wine production, but elevated temperature may impair their …

In this work, we tested the effect of different regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) regimes on berry
flavonoid content and its relative biosynthetic pathways. Vines were subjected to six …

In commercial wine grape production, canopy management practices are applied to control
the source-sink balance and improve the cluster microclimate to enhance berry composition …

Wine final color, taste and aroma are closely related to the accumulation of secondary
metabolites that may be affected by deficit irrigation applied in viticulture. A two-year study …
