Extreme climatic events, including drought, are predicted to increase in intensity, frequency,
and geographic extent as a consequence of global climate change. In general, to grow …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is one of the most widely cultivated plant species of agricultural
interest, and is extensively appreciated for its fruits and the wines made from its fruits …

This paper introduces a tomography-like method for assessing grape maturation. It analyses
inner tissue spectra through point-of-measurement (POM) sensing. A multi-block …

Anthocyanins are the main grape pigments. Due to their aromatic cyclic arrangements, they
are able to absorb the radiation in the low energy range of the visible spectrum. In the fruit of …

Sunburn can affect grape quality both for chemical modifications and by visual impact of the
browning. Optical properties of 17 white grape accessions were investigated in the visible …

A standard protocol for phenotyping structural and compositional aspects of the grape berry
has been adopted by 18 East and West European germplasm collections during one season …

In grape berries, extreme oxidative stress results in skin tissue bleaching and brownish
areas appearance. Thus, these damages could negatively affect the fruit quality and the …

Even though it is one of the oldest perennial domesticated fruit crops in the world, grapevine
(Vitis vinifera L.) cultivation today is the result of both conventional breeding practices (ie …

Stilbenes are a group of phytoalexins that play an important role in grapevine (Vitis) basal
immunity and can be induced by biotic and abiotic stresses. The levels of chlorophylls, the …

In white grapes, chlorophylls and carotenoids play important roles in berry color and
environmental interactions (eg radiative stresses). In this paper, easy, fast and low cost non …
