Water stress impacts on grapevine functioning and possible adaptation measures

Europe is the continent which is heating up with the highest speed. In viticulture every year we face extreme weather events, from higher rainfalls to droguth periods. It is therefore important to know what water stress (lack of water) is and how it impacts the physiology and metabolism of grapevine plants. In addition in the lecture, main measures on how to adapt the viticulture to water stress, are presented and discussed.
