World viticulture is based on grafted grapevines, where scion is a cultivar of Vitis vinifera and
rootstock is either and American Vitis species or an interspecific Vitis hybrid. The paramount …

Background and Aim. The genetically determined characteristics of grapevine rootstocks are
important factors that affect scion performance. This 3 years' field study aimed to …

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 …

Background and aims: In most viticultural areas of the world, Vitis vinifera grapevines require
grafting onto phylloxera-tolerant rootstocks of American origin. The species most commonly …

Grape growers use rootstocks to provide protection against pests and pathogens and to
modulate viticulture performance such as shoot growth. Our study examined two grapevine …

Aim: The nutrient reserves in the grapevine perennial structure perform a critical role in
supplying the grapevine with nutrients when demand cannot be sustained by root uptake …

Vine rootstocks are known to have an influence on the vegetative growth and yield of the
scion, and also can influence fruit quality in grafted vines with direct effects on the uptake of …

The salt tolerance of rootstocks is often assessed based on their ability to limit uptake of
sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) ions. Here, we evaluated the effects of three irrigation salinity …

Rootstocks are used in viticulture to manage plant pests and diseases, particularly
phylloxera and root‐knot nematodes, and to improve grape and wine production. A wide …

Grape breeders are beginning to consider the consequences of a changing climate and
expanding human population. One inescapable conclusion is that there will be less water …
