The paper identifies a major locus for boron exclusion in wild Vitis species through genetic mapping and phenotyping, supporting its use in breeding boron-tolerant rootstocks.

The paper presents a low-cost imaging and deep-learning pipeline to analyze root system architecture and soil moisture in grapevine rootstocks, revealing genetic and temporal variation in root traits.

This study shows that supplemental irrigation during heat waves reduces grape yield but not whole-vine carbohydrates, suggesting irrigation helps maintain vine health despite reduced photosynthesis.

This study shows that supplemental irrigation during heat waves reduces anthocyanin loss in Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with no additional benefit from excessive watering.

This study shows that optimized irrigation during heat events improves grapevine physiology and fruit production, while excessive or insufficient irrigation harms plant function and yield.

This study shows that PIP2;1 aquaporin promotes earlier stomatal closure during water stress in grapevines without affecting leaf hydraulic conductance.

This study uses hyperspectral radiometry and machine learning to screen grapevine rootstocks for boron tolerance, identifying genotypes with high B exclusion and photosynthetic resilience.
