Water as a critical issue for viticulture in southern Europe: sustainability vs...
Costa, Joaquim Miguel; Vaz, Margarida; Escalona, J.M.; Egipto, Ricardo; Lopes, Carlos Manuel; Medrano, H; Chaves, Maria ManuelaWater 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...
Modern viticulture in southern Europe: Vulnerabilities and strategies for adapt...
Costa, J M; Vaz, M M; Escalona, J; Egipto, R; Lopes, C; Medrano, H; Chaves, M MWater is now considered the most important but vulnerable resource in the Mediterranean region. Nev ertheless, irrigation expanded fast in the region (e.g. South Portugal and Spain) to mitigate environmental stress and to guarantee stable grape yield and quality. Sustainable wine production depends on sustain able water use in the wine’s supply chain, from the vine to the bottle. Better understanding of grapevi...

The role of abscisic acid and water relations in drought responses of subterran...
Socias, X; Correia, MJ; Chaves, M; Medrano, HThe role of water relations and abscisic acid (ABA) in the responses to drought were studied in a mediterranean forage crop, Trifolium subterraneum L. under field conditions. soil and plant water status, leaf gas exchange parameters, and xylem sap ABA content were determined at different times during a long-term soil drying episode in irrigated and droughted plants. The diurnal time-courses of these parameters ...
