Understanding seasonal interactions among hydraulic, chemical and molecular signalling under water deficit is crucial for improving vineyard irrigation strategies under climate change and increasing water scarcity. We aimed to test how irrigation strategies and phenology affect the hydraulic adjustment mechanisms of eight fieldgrown grapevine varieties under different long-term irrigation regimes: Full-irrigate...
Wine production is being threatened by climate change, particularly in the Mediterranean region. Thus, more knowledge on vineyards’ well-functioning and adjustments to drought conditions is essential. We aimed to understand how grapevine varieties from different European origins, under the same climatic context, respond to water stress and whether the climatic origin plays a role in their water-use efficiency (...
