Application of shade treatments during Shiraz berry ripening to reduce the impact of high temperature

摘要

Background and Aims: The impact of high temperature on grapevine function is predicted to be a serious problem in our warming climate. We studied the impact of shading on some aspects of vine physiology, berry cell death and other components of berry development and on the resultant wines in order to understand grapevine physiology and the ripening process in shaded conditions and to assess shading as a mitigation strategy for high temperature.
