The Science of Grapevines

The Science of Grapevines: Anatomy and Physiology, 2nd Edition, is a book that introduces the physical structure, organs, physiological functions, and environmental interactions of grapevines.

The volume outlines botanical classification, morphology, anatomy, and growth cycles. It examines essential physiological processes, including water relations, photosynthesis, respiration, mineral uptake, and carbon partitioning, before applying these mechanisms to canopy dynamics, yield formation, and fruit composition.

Building on the first edition, which received the 2010 Jury Award from the Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin for best viticulture book of the year, this 2015 edition adds chapter summaries and expands literature references.
