This review focuses on the responses of the plant cell wall to several abiotic stresses
including drought, flooding, heat, cold, salt, heavy metals, light, and air pollutants. The …

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 …

Stilbenes are a small family of polyphenolic secondary metabolites that can be found in
several distantly related plant species. These compounds act as phytoalexins, playing a …

Climate change is affecting grape yield, composition and wine quality. As a result, the
geography of wine production is changing. In this Review, we discuss the consequences of …

Berries of the cultivated grapevine Vitis vinifera are notably responsive to temperature,
which can influence fruit quality and hence the future compatibility of varieties with their …

Arabidopsis adapts to elevated temperature by promoting stem elongation and hyponastic
growth through a temperature-responsive transcription factor PIF4. Here we show that 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 …

Plants require the capacity for quick and precise recognition of external stimuli within their
environment for survival. Upon exposure to biotic (herbivores and pathogens) or abiotic …

In the past century, plant biostimulants have been increasingly used in agriculture as
innovative and sustainable practice. Plant biostimulants have been mainly investigated as …

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