Contents:
- Fundamental principles of biology and cultivation of the grapevine including taxonomy, morphology, physiology, propagation and production as well as botanical aspects including anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of grape berry development and fruit ripening.
- Impact of physiological variables such as photosynthesis, assimilate translocation, mineral nutrition, phytohormones and water relations on growth and fruit development, ripening and composition.
