Theoretical plant growth models postulate that the relative rates of shoot and root growth are
largely modulated by signals related to carbon and nitrogen status of the plant. To test this …

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 …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops because the
