Beginning with a brief overview of the botanical classification (including an introduction to the concepts of species, cultivars, clones, and rootstocks), plant morphology and anatomy, and growth cycles of grapevines, \u003cb\u003eThe Science of Grapevines\u003c\/b\u003e covers the basic concepts in growth and development, water relations, photosynthesis and respiration, mineral uptake and utilization, and carbon partitioning. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese concepts are put to use to understand plant-environment interactions including canopy dynamics, yield formation, and fruit composition, and concludes with an introduction to stress physiology, including water stress (drought and flooding), nutrient deficiency and excess, extreme temperatures (heat and cold), and the impact and response to of other organisms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on the author’s years of teaching grapevine anatomy as well as his research experience with grapevines and practical experience growing grapes, this book provides an important guide to understanding the entire plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 7 broken into two chapters, now \"Environmental Constraints and Stress Physiology and Chapter 8 \"Living with Other Organisms\" to better reflect specific concepts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegration of new research results including:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLatest research on implementing drip irrigation to maximize sugar accumulation within grapes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEffect of drought stress on grapevine’s hydraulic system and options for optimum plant maintenance in drought conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe recently discovered plant hormone – strigolactones – and their contribution of apical dominance that has suddenly outdated dogma on apical dominance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter summaries added\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKey literature references missed in the first edition as well as references to research completed since the 1e publication will be added \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153766007024,"sku":"9780124200081","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780124200081_p0.jpg?v=1763639059","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780124200081","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
