Temperature, water, solar radiation, and atmospheric CO2 concentration are the main
abiotic factors that are changing in the course of global warming. These abiotic factors …

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

Plant phenolics have been for many years a theme of major scientific and applied interest.
Grape berry phenolics contribute to organoleptic properties, color and protection against …

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

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a non-climacteric fruit species used as table fruit, dried raisins,
and for vinification (wines) and distillation (liquors). In recent years, our knowledge of the …

In the past century, plant biostimulants have been increasingly used in agriculture as
innovative and sustainable practice. Plant biostimulants have been mainly investigated as …

Climacteric and non-climacteric fruits are differentiated by the ripening process, in particular
by the involvement of ethylene, high respiration rates and the nature of the process, being …

The MYB transcription factors and plant hormone ABA have been suggested to play a role in
fruit anthocyanin biosynthesis, but supporting genetic evidence has been lacking in sweet …

This review deals with grapevine abscisic-acid (ABA) mediated responses to abiotic stress
by addressing stress consequences mainly on berry quality. Accumulation of secondary …

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 …
