Marginal Grapevine Germplasm from Apulia(Southern Italy) Represents an Unexplored Source ofGenetic Diversity

The investigation on the genetic diversity of grapevine germplasm is crucial for a more efficient use of grapevine genetic resources in light of changing environmental conditions.

New Insight into the Identity of Italian Grapevine Varieties:The Case Study of Calabrian Germplasm

Calabria is a region located in Southern Italy and it is characterized by a long tradition of viticulture practices and favorable pedoclimatic conditions for grapevine cultivation. Nevertheless, less than 2% of cultivated land is dedicated to grapevine growing in Calabria.

Molecular variability of apple hammerhead viroid from Italian applevarieties supports the relevance in vivo of its branched conformationstabilized by a kissing loop interaction

In the absence of protein-coding ability, viroid RNAs rely on direct interactions with host factors for their infectivity. RNA structural elements are likely involved in these interactions.

Re.Ger.O.P.: An Integrated Projectfor the Recovery of Ancient and RareOlive Germplasm

The olive tree is one of the most important economic, cultural, and environmental resources for Italy, in particular for the Apulian region, where it shows a wide diversity.

Management and Uses of Woody CropsField Gene Banks, a Multi-FunctionalApproach in the Experience of ApuliaRegion (Italy)

The conservation of woody fruit species, carried out mainly ex situ in the collection fields of large conservation centers with numerous species and hundreds of varieties, requiring highly qualified personnel, suitable equipment and facilities, is technically very complex and, above all, very expensive.

Microbial Resources and Sparkling Wine Differentiation: Stateof the Arts

Consumers’ increasing interest in sparkling wine has enhanced the global market’s demand. The pro-technological yeasts strains selected for the formulation of microbial starter cultures are a fundamental parameter for exalting the quality and safety of the final product.

Genetic and chemical characterization of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivars grown in southern Italy

The increasing interest in pomegranate as a functional fruit has recently favored a myriad of research projects aimed at studying cultivated germplasm by the world.

Embryo Culture, In Vitro Propagation, and MolecularIdentification for Advanced Olive Breeding Programs

The high biodiversity of the olive tree is an important opportunity to develop sustainable plans to control Xylella fastidiosa (Xf ) through breeding programs.

Influence of prolonged maceration on phenolic compounds, volatile profileand sensory properties of wines from Minutolo and Verdeca, two Apulianwhite grape varieties

Prolonged maceration was applied to two Apulian white grape cultivars, Minutolo and Verdeca. The impact of prolonged maceration (up to six months) on the quality of the wines was evaluated through characterization of phenolic, volatile and sensory profiles.
