Water as a critical issue for viticulture in southern Europe: sustainability vs...

Water is a vulnerable resource in the Mediterranean region, but irrigation demands have been increasing to mitigate effects of environmental stress. Sustainable wine production involves the precise use of water in the vineyard and winery. Improved knowledge on grapevine ecophysiology and genetics, the use of sensors for soil and canopy monitoring, plant phenotyping and improved crop management can help save wat...

The effects of field inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi through rye do...

Grapevines are highly dependent on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for normal growth and development. However, vineyard soils may have low AMF abundance and diversity due to conventional soil management practices that are detrimental for these fungi. In this context, the establishment of AMF-inoculated cover crops can be a highly convenient strategy to reestablish soil mycorrhizal potential, as it combines t...

Fisiologia e metabolismo foliar em duas variedades de videira sujeitas a um cic...

Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T07:26:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01; This work aimed to compare two grapevine varieties grown in Portugal, Syrah and Touriga Nacional, in terms of their physiological and biochemical behavior in response to a cycle of severe water stress followed by rehydration. Vines were subjected to either continuous watering (FI) or not watered for 21 ...

Opportunities and limitations of crop phenotyping in southern european countries

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot dry summers and frequent droughts. Mediterranean crops are frequently subjected to high evapotranspiration demands, soil water deficits, high temperatures, and photo-oxidative stress. These conditions will become more severe due to global warming which poses major challenges to the sustainability of the agricultural sector in Mediterranean countries. Selection o...

Assessing canopy temperature patterns in two grapevine varieties subjected to d...

A better understanding of grapevine responses to drought and high air temperatures can help to optimize vineyard management to improve water use efficiency, yield and berry quality. Faster and robust field phenotyping tools are needed in modern precision viticulture, in particular in dry and hot regions such as the Mediterranean. Canopy temperature (Tc) is commonly used to monitor water stress in plants/crops a...

Fisiologia e metabolismo foliar em duas variedades de videira sujeitas a um cic...

Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar duas variedades de videira cultivadas em Portugal, Syrah e Touriga Nacional, em termos de suas respostas fisiológicas e bioquímicas a um ciclo de estresse hídrico severo seguido de reidratação. Os tratamentos consistiram em videiras continuamente regadas (FI) e videiras não regadas durante 21 dias e reidratadas após o potencial hídrico foliar de base (Ψpd) atingir cerca...
