Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject you will learn about the interaction of the grapevine with its environment and how the implementation of intelligent viticultural practices can affect final grape quality. The subject will explore these topics in terms of structure, phenology, light, water and genetics. Knowledge will be developed on the taxonomy of the grapevine, and will cover all the major species used with the genus Vitis; the biology, history and properties of rootstocks; and ampelography. Traditional methods based on morphology and modern techniques employing cutting-edge analytical genetics will be examined. You will explore grapevine physiology from the viewpoint of vineyard management including an in-depth re-examination of photosynthesis, water relations, abiotic and biotic stress, the role and function of plant hormones, and the effect of temperature, light, nutrients, and water on key physiological mechanisms.
