Water availability is arguably the most important environmental factor limiting crop growth
and productivity. Erratic precipitation patterns and increased temperatures resulting from …

Grafting is a widely used practice for asexual propagation of fruit trees. Many physiological,
biochemical, and molecular changes occur upon grafting that can influence important …

Water availability is endangering the production, quality, and economic viability of growing
wine grapes worldwide. Climate change projections reveal warming and drying trends for …

Viticulture is facing emerging challenges not only because of the effect of climate change on
yield and composition of grapes, but also of a social demand for environmental‐friendly …

Grafting is a common practice for vegetative propagation and trait improvement in
horticultural plants. A general prerequisite for successful grafting and long term survival of …

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 …

Adapting agriculture to climate change is driving the need for the selection and breeding of
drought-tolerant crops. The aim of this study was to identify key drought tolerance traits and …

Grafting has been utilised for at least the past 7000 years. Historically, grafting has been
developed by growers without particular interest beyond the agronomical and ornamental …

The necessity to adapt to climate change is even stronger for grapevine than for other crops,
because grape berry composition—a key determinant of fruit and wine quality, typicity and …

Composite trees combine optimal traits from both the rootstock and the scion. Dwarfing
rootstocks are commonly used to reduce shoot vigour and improve fruit quality and …
