Electrically heated cables protect vines from frost damage at early flowering

Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, 2009
Background and Aims: Current methods of frost protection in vineyards involve fans, air heaters or sprinklers; each is limited by environmental constraints or available water. An alternative, all-electrical technique offers growers wider choice to match options with their vineyard operations.

What is ‘relational thinking’, and how does it manifest in research?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People and Nature is a ‘journal of relational thinking’. This editorial explores what relational thinking can mean and how it might be operationalized in the context of humans and the environment. Relational thinking may seem intuitive because it recognizes the world's inherent interconnectedness. However, the question of how to operationalize

Formation and evolution of melt holes on vine-shoots during the winter in Quebec

OENO One, 2002
Vine cultivation in Quebec is confronted with the problem of an unfavorable climate specially because of winter frost. Over the last few years, artificial snow has been used, at the experimental level, as one of the protective methods implemented during ...

Genomic structure and ex situ conservation of the North American grapevine Vitis labrusca

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The North American wild grapevine species Vitis labrusca is an important source of disease resistance and climate resilience traits for breeding new grapevine cultivars. To ensure its continued use in breeding, V. labrusca must be accurately identified and genetically diverse material must be conserved.

ISSUES CONCERNING PROTECTION OF THE VINE FAMILY (FAMILY VITACEAE JUSS.) IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST

PROCEEDINGS ON APPLIED BOTANY, GENETICS AND BREEDING, 2016
Analyzing classification features of vines of the family Vitaceae Juss. in the Russian Far East (RFE) confirms the need for their protection within the region. Protection should be extended to species of the rarity categories 1, 2 and 3. For the RFE (as a whole) these are the species: Ampelopsis japonica (Thunb.) Makino, Parthenocissus tricuspidata ...

Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Transcriptomic stress responses in Vaccinium spp. F1 hybrids: Implications for temperature‐resilient cranberry breeding using a crop wild relative

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.
