Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viticulture and grapevine physiology are the core fields supporting the high-quality development of the grape industry. The production of high-quality grapes and the sustainable operation of the industry depend on a deep understanding of grape growth and development, as well as continuous innovation in cultivation technologies. Currently, climate change and recurring extreme weather events pose growing challenges to viticulture, making it imperative to innovate cultivation techniques and breed new stress-tolerant varieties. Additionally, the rapid advancement of biotechnology and molecular biology has brought new research perspectives and technical means to this field, driving us to make continuous breakthroughs in areas such as grape variety adaptability, stress resistance mechanisms, quality regulation, and efficient cultivation.
This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research in grape cultivation and vine physiology, aiming to gather innovative achievements and the latest insights from scholars worldwide. We sincerely welcome original papers (including reviews and research articles) covering growth and development regulation, environmental adaptability physiology, cultivation technology innovation, fruit quality formation mechanisms, and other related directions in grape research.
