The European climate is changing displaying profound impacts on agriculture, thus strongly
reaching the scientific community's attention. In this review, the compilation of selected …

Photosynthesis is one of the key processes to be affected by water deficits, via decreased
CO2 diffusion to the chloroplast and metabolic constraints. The relative impact of those …

Melatonin is involved in regulating plant growth and responding to multiple environmental
stresses. The underlying mechanism by which melatonin mediates drought tolerance in …

In the last decade, our understanding of the processes underlying plant response to drought,
at the molecular and whole-plant levels, has rapidly progressed. Here, we review that …

Background A large proportion of vineyards are located in regions with seasonal drought
(eg Mediterranean-type climates) where soil and atmospheric water deficits, together with …

Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficit during their life
cycle. The frequency of such phenomena is likely to increase in the future even outside …

Chlorophyll fluorescence has been routinely used for many years to monitor the
photosynthetic performance of plants non-invasively. The relationships between chlorophyll …

Water is critical for viticulture sustainability since grape production, quality and economic
viability are largely dependent on water availability. The total water consumption of …

Drought and salinity are two widespread environmental conditions leading to low water
availability for plants. Low water availability is considered the main environmental factor …

Drought is one of the greatest limitations to crop expansion outside the present-day
agricultural areas. It will become increasingly important in regions of the globe where, in the …
