Sugars play a key role in fruit quality, as they directly influence taste, and thus consumer
acceptance. Carbohydrates are the main resources needed by the plant for carbon and …

Temperature, water, solar radiation, and atmospheric CO2 concentration are the main
abiotic factors that are changing in the course of global warming. These abiotic factors …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a non-climacteric fruit species used as table fruit, dried raisins,
and for vinification (wines) and distillation (liquors). In recent years, our knowledge of the …

Climate change scenarios predict an increase in average temperatures and in the
frequency, intensity, and length of extreme temperature events in many wine regions around …

Background Fruit composition at harvest is strongly dependent on the temperature during
the grapevine developmental cycle. This raises serious concerns regarding the …

Weather conditions throughout the year have a greater influence than other factors (such as
soil and cultivars) on grapevine development and berry composition. Temperature affects …

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 …

Background Global climate change will noticeably affect plant vegetative and reproductive
development. The recent increase in temperatures has already impacted yields and …

Among environmental factors, temperature is the one that poses serious threats to viticulture
in the present and future scenarios of global climate change. In this work, we evaluated the …

Heat stress is a significant environmental factor adversely affecting crop yield. Crop
adaptation to high-temperature environments requires transcriptional reprogramming of a …
