The physiological challenges posed by climate change for seasonal, perennial plants
include increased risk of heat waves, postbudbreak freezing ('false springs'), and droughts …

Temperate and boreal plants show natural low temperature acclimation during autumn. This
cold acclimation process results in increased freezing tolerance. Global climate change is …

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

Grapevine (Vitis ssp.) is a deciduous perennial fruit crop, and the canes and buds of
grapevine should withstand low temperatures (LTs) annually during winter. However, the …

Cold injury is a key environmental challenge in many grape-producing regions, especially
those at high latitudes. Although grapevines acclimate to cold temperatures in fall and …

Appropriate timing and rate of cold deacclimation and the ability to reacclimate are important
components of winter survival of perennials in temperate and boreal zones. In association …

Grapevine yield is defined as the quantity of harvest, expressed as either grape mass or
wine volumeunits, which has been collected per surface unit are and per crop cycle. The …

Climate change affects all characteristics of grapes, including the taste of fresh berries and
wine. The purpose of this study was to reveal the dependence of fresh grapes taste scores …

The effects of global warming on plants are not limited to the exacerbation of summer
stresses; they could also induce dormancy dysfunctions. In January 2020, a bud break was …

Late spring frost is a severe risk during early plant development. It may cause important
economic damage to grapevine production. In a warming climate, late frost risk either could …
