Calcium has well-documented roles in plant signaling, water relations and cell wall
interactions. Significant research into how calcium impacts these individual processes in …

The viticulture and wine industry contribute to the economy and reputation of many countries
all over the world. With the predicted climate change, a negative impact on grapevine …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Plant central metabolism generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are key
regulators that mediate signalling pathways involved in developmental processes and plant …

Tartaric acid (TA) is an obscure end point to the catabolism of ascorbic acid (Asc). Here, it is
proposed as a “specialized primary metabolite”, originating from carbohydrate metabolism …

K+ is the most abundant cation in the grape berry. Here we focus on the most recent
information in the long distance transport and partitioning of K+ within the grapevine and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a dual role in fruit–pathogen interaction, which largely
depends on their different levels in cells. Fruit recognition of a pathogen immediately triggers …

The role of melatonin in the regulation of fruit ripening and the mechanism involved remain
largely unknown. In “Moldova” grape berries, melatonin accumulated rapidly from onset of …

Grapevine is a world-wide cultivated economically relevant crop. The process of berry
ripening is non-climacteric and does not rely on the sole ethylene signal. Abscisic acid …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is involved in multiple processes during plant growth and
development. D-cysteine desulfhydrase (DCD) can produce H2S with D-cysteine as the …
