Impact of climate change in viticulture: understanding and mitigating abiotic and biotic stress in grapevine

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Grapevine is one of the most important crops worldwide for economic value. Multiple abiotic stresses, including drought, heatwaves, soil salinity, increasingly threaten grapevine cultivation, critically impacting vine health, fruit yield and grape quality. Furthermore, biotic stresses caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, and insects are increasing, exacerbated by climate change. Several efforts have been made in recent years to understand and mitigate the effects of climate change in a significant economic context, such as viticulture. This special issue aimed to consolidate recent advancements in the field of grapevine stresses, and possibly identifying new potential mitigation strategies at agronomical, physiological, eco-physiological and molecular level, involved in the grapevine response to abiotic and biotic stresses.
