The type of crops plays a critical role in determining the canopy light interception and is a
decisive factor for yield. Thus, it is of significant importance to have a comprehensive …

Fruiting shoots are comprised of leaves, fruits, and branches, which determine the grape
yield and the quality of produce. Fruiting shoots are also the important structural unit for …

This study attempts to clarify the effect of canopy position on the physico-chemical
parameters of apples cv. Braeburn. The experiments were carried out on fruit from the inner …

Carotenoids are plant pigments that are important for photosynthesis and photo-protection.
In recent years there has been great interest in the role of carotenoids in grapevines. The …

Premise Leaf lobing and leaf size vary considerably across and within species, including
among grapevines (Vitis spp.), some of the best‐studied leaves. We examined the …

The greenhouse effect is a global problem. In view of the intense sunlight radiation in
Ningxia (an ideal wine-producing region in northwestern China), the effect of light-selective …

The primary focus in the production of quality red wine is the extraction of grape
components, which can be achieved in a variety of ways. This work investigates the …

Positive plant–plant interactions (facilitation) may enhance the recruitment and
establishment of species less adapted to local macroclimatic conditions. A major cause of …

Canopy architecture is fundamental to productivity in grapevines. This research focused on
evaluating the impact of opening canopies on the capture of photosynthetically active …

Simple Summary A study was conducted in two vineyards located in Northern Italy to
investigate the effects of mechanical leaf removal, insecticide application, and their …
