Among various environmental factors, temperature is a major regulator affecting plant
growth, development and fruit composition. Grapevine is the most cultivated fruit plant …

Grape is a widely cultivated crop with high economic value. Most cultivars derived from mild
or cooler climates may not withstand increasing heat stress. Therefore, dissecting the …

The accumulation of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) is a hallmark of plant
response to different abiotic stresses, including cold. The synthesis of galactinol, by …

Background Grapes are a major fruit crop around the world. Heat stress can significantly
reduce grape yield and quality. Changes at the molecular level in response to heat stress …

Heat stress limits growth and development of crops including grapevine which is a popular
fruit in the world. Genetic variability in crops thermotolerance is not well understood. We …

We report the cloning and characterization of heat shock-induced genes in grapevine (Vitis
vinifera L.). Using the cDNA subtraction method, four heat shock-induced genes were …

The frequent occurrence of extremely high temperatures can severely affect agricultural
production. In grapevines, elevated temperatures can cause irreversible damage during the …

Heat stress is one of the primary abiotic stresses that limit crop production. Grape (Vitis
vinifera) is a cultivated fruit with high economic value throughout the world, with its growth …

Grapevine is an extremely important crop worldwide. In southern Europe, post-flowering
phases of the growth cycle can occur under high temperatures, excessive light, and drought …

Plants subjected to mild heat stress can acquire thermotolerance. But little is known about
the how a grape changes, at the transcription level, after heat acclimation. In this study, we …
