Information on the evolution, taxonomy, morphology, anatomy,
physiology and genetics of grapevines has been scarce and thinly
spread in the literature on horticulture and the plant sciences.
This book aims to provide a concise but comprehensive overview of
the biology and cultivation of the grapevine, accessible to all
concerned with viticulture. After a description of the essential
features of viticulture, including a concise history from antiquity
to modern times, the taxonomy of the grapevine and the evolutionary
processes which gave rise to the diversity within the Vitaceae is
considered. Particular attention is paid to the genera Vitis and
Muscadinia, which are considered a reserve of genetic variation for
the improvement of grapevines. A description of the vegetative and
reproductive anatomy of the grapevine precedes a full discussion of
the developmental and environmental physiology of these fascinating
and economically important plants. The concluding chapter considers
the potential for genetic improvement of grapevines and includes
coverage of the problems encountered, and the methods and
strategies employed in breeding for scions and rootstocks.
