Water availability dynamics have long-term effects on mature stem structure in Vitis vinifera
S. Munitz, Y. Netzer, I. Shtein, A. Schwartz
The study examines how water availability early in the season affects vegetative growth and stem anatomy in mature Vitis vinifera vines, finding that high early irrigation leads to increased trunk size, wider vessels, and higher hydraulic conductivity.
