Genetic and environmental drivers of fruit composition in relation to sensory quality in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)
… sensory preferences, the relationship between fruit metabolite and sensory profiles or the impact of UK climatic conditions on fruit metabolite profile in relation to sensory and health beneficial characteristics. The aim of this study was to understand the sensory expectations of UK consumers …

Refining Fruit-Zone Leaf Removal for Red-Fruited Bordeaux Grape Varieties Grown in a Humid Environment
Current fruit-zone management recommendation in the eastern US aims for 1-2 basal shoot leaf layers after fruit set to limit fungal disease and sunburn incidence, and prevent extreme heating of grapes. The goal of this work was to assess if fruit-zone leaf removal to an uncommonly greater extent, …

Vineyard soil matters: exploring the influence of soil physical and chemical properties on Eastern U.S. grape production
… soil management have the potential to improve fruit composition for high-quality wine production. Soils that provide excessive plant-available nutrients and water often produce vigorous vegetative growth and negatively influence fruit chemistry. We investigated three aspects of Eastern vineyard …

Discriminating the Effects of Vineyard Management Practices on Grape and Wine Volatiles from Cabernet Franc and Merlot Grape Varieties Using Electronic Nose Systems
Vineyard management practices are known to affect fruit composition and resultant wines, in part, by altering fruit volatiles. Methods currently used to evaluate the impact of vineyard practices on grape/wine composition include measuring physico-chemistry indices and performing wine sensory …

Feasibility study using remote sensing technologies to improve zonal vineyard management
… canopy size, vine health, vineyard yield, and fruit composition, which further impacts wine quality. The remote sensing data analysis tools included normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and other indices extracted from electromagnetic reflectance data of grapevine leaves and canopies. …

Optimizing grape cluster exposure to increase desirable aroma compounds and decrease disease severity
By increasing fruit exposure to sunlight and influencing fruit development, leaf thinning in the fruit zone can improve grape quality and lower disease incidence; however, further investigations on the timing, varietal response and intensity are needed to optimize results and to better understand …

The Influence of Human Disturbance on Avian Frugivory and Seed Dispersal in a Neotropical Rainforest
… avian frugivory and seed dispersal, bird-fruit interactions that facilitate plant reproduction. On Tobago (West Indies), I compared patterns of frugivory in three adjacent rainforest habitats along a gradient of increasing disturbance: primary forest in a reserve, unprotected intermediate …

Viticultural techniques of canopy management to mitigate the effects of global warming
… techniques on grape yield components and fruit quality. In particular, within the climate change scenario, their effectiveness of delaying grape technological ripening and improving the anthocyanins-to-sugar ratio was the main priority of the research. All the trials were conducted under …

PALISSAGE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO MECHANICAL HEDGING IN VITIS VINIFERA VINEYARDS
… Hedging can manipulate vine vigor, yield, fruit composition, wine quality, winter hardiness, and canopy microclimate. Although mechanical hedging is common practice in many vineyards, it is criticized as being a “Band-Aid solution” to vine vigor because it may stimulate lateral growth, …

Identification of clone x rootstock effects on cold hardiness and relevant dehydrins changes in Cabernet franc (Vitis vinifera L.)
… vine balance, environmental resistance, and fruit composition including titratable acidity (TA), soluble solids, and pH were measured in 2019 and 2020. SDS-PAGE profiles and immunoblots measured dehydrins intensity during two dormant seasons in 2018-19 and 2019-20. Rootstock was found to …

Irrigation scheduling for Sovereign Coronation grapevine based upon evapotranspiration calculations and crop coefficients /
… and for improving vine performance, yield and fruit composition. Use of properly scheduled irrigation was beneficial for Sovereign Coronation table grapes in the Niagara region. Findings herein should give growers some strong guidehnes on when, how and how much to irrigate their vineyards.

Chemical characterisation of grapevine waste and bioactivity on cancer cell lines
… cultivar Syrah, but the individual pigment composition varied. Fermentation of skins and seeds during red wine production caused a significant loss in their phenolic, flavonoid and anthocyanin content which translated in a low antioxidant and radical scavenging activity. Apart from these …

Root restriction, under-trellis cover cropping, and rootstock modify vine size and berry composition of Cabernet Sauvignon
… can be costly to manage and produce inadequate fruit for wine production. Dense canopies increase the incidence of fungal disease, require greater allocation of resources to manage, and inhibit fruit development. The primary objective of these studies was to determine effective vine-size …

Vines of different capacity and water status alter the sensory perception of Cabernet Sauvignon wines
Reducing disease and increasing fruit quality in vigorous vineyards with dense canopies is demanding of time and resources; unfortunately, vineyards of this nature are common in humid environments. This study investigated the effectiveness with which vine capacity and water status could be …
