Quantifying the response of plant water status to environmental conditions and its effect on carbon acquisition are essential for simulating plant growth and fruit composition, especially in the context of climate...
Plants regulate cellular oxygen partial pressures (pO2), together with reduction/oxidation (redox) state in order to manage rapid developmental transitions such as bud burst after a period of quiescence. However, our...
No, not messing with colours, but a reference to Silvia Vezzulli et al.’s work on Pinot blanc and Pinot gris wine grape cultivars. The team have discovered that the ‘white’ and ‘grey’ (which refer to their berry...
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, responsible for Pierce’s disease of grapevine, colonizes the xylem conduits of vines. Chatelet et al. examine the xylem structure of several varieties of grapevine, Vitis vinifera, and...
Plant cold hardiness varies dynamically throughout the dormant season, primarily in response to changes in temperature. Taking advantage of an extensive database of grapevine (Vitis spp.) bud hardiness measurements...
