Arqus CChSD Webinar #4: “Grape berry photosynthesis and an ecophysiological tour through light stress, light microclimate and stress mitigation strategies”

The Arqus Climate Change and Sustainable Development (CChSD) cluster invites researchers and students to participate in the webinar “Grape berry photosynthesis and an ecophysiological tour through light stress, light microclimate and stress mitigation strategies”, which will take place on Wednesday, 17^th April 2024, at 15:00 CEST.

Climate changes are challenging agricultural management, but also natural ecosystems and all the intricated webs of life. It’s putting a toll in many socio-economic sectors. Short- and long-term mitigation strategies need to be planned and implemented to guarantee food safety and environmental sustainability. The grapevine is a crucial crop for Portugal and the world, and is already suffering negative impacts in the Mediterranean region. The impacts on leaf gas exchanges are well known and widely studied, what about the fruit?

The session, led by Prof. Ana Cunha from the University of Minho, is part of the Blended Intensive Programme on “Plant adaptations to climate changes” that is being organised by the Universities of Granada, Minho, Wroclaw and the Université Catholique de Louvain.
