Although xylem embolism resistance is traditionally considered as static, we hypothesized
that in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) leaf xylem becomes more embolism‐resistant over the …

Drought, which directly affects the yield of crops and trees, is a natural stress with a profound
impact on the economy. Improving water use efficiency (WUE) and drought tolerance are …

Plants develop tolerance to drought by activating genes with altered levels of epigenetic
modifications. Specific transcription factors are involved in this activation, but the molecular …

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 …

Frequency of extreme drought events are expected to increase due to climate change.
Perennials are increasingly exposed to recurrent drought during their life span. The aim of …

Climate change is challenging the resilience of grapevine (Vitis), one of the most important
crops worldwide. Adapting viticulture to a hotter and drier future will require a multifaceted …

Rising global air temperatures will lead to an increased evapotranspiration and altered
precipitation pattern. In many regions this may result in a negative water balance during the …

Salinity, which is predominantly an issue for agricultural systems in arid and semi‐arid
regions, has the potential to impair grape production and wine quality, and its impact on the …
