“…Grafted plants showed higher values for all the mycorrhizal colonization parameters related to the greater presence of arbuscules compared to vesicles, which may be associated with faster root turnover and a higher demand for nutrient transfer from AM fungi to plants [57]. The greater presence of vesicles observed in the ungrafted vines can be interpreted as a storage strategy, which consists of a better adaptation of these vines (greater stomatal conductance and higher leaf chlorophyll content) to extreme climate conditions [58]. The observed higher stomatal conductance, however, implies increased water consumption; thus, the presence of the rootstock seems to be more beneficial in terms of sustainable cultivation.…”

Plant–soil biota represent a unique living system crucial for improving crops’ adaptation to climate change. In vineyards, plant–soil relations are mediated by rootstock–scion interaction, with grafted vines being the main plant material employed in vineyard planting. The interaction between two deeply different biological systems such as Vitis vinifera sativa and the American Vitis species may modify vines’ adaptation to abiotic stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological response (chlorophyll content—CHL; stomatal conductance—gs) of grafted and ungrafted vines and assess the involvement of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in this response. In two vineyards located in Central Italy, the presence of AMF was assessed in the roots of grafted and ungrafted cv ‘Aleatico’ vines. The morphological traits of AMF and root mycorrhizal colonization differed in the grafted and ungrafted vines. Under limited climate conditions, ungrafted vines showed better leaf resilience traits (high CHL and gs values) and larger AMF storage organs (vesicles). On the other hand, the grafted ones—which are more sensitive to climate conditions (lower gs and CHL)—involved AMF colonization strategies (greater abundance of arbuscoles and mycorrhizal colonization potential) linked to the improved uptake and transport of water from the bulk soil to the vine. Taken together, these findings highlight different mycorrhizal colonization strategies and storage behaviors in grafted and ungrafted vineyards and with respect to different physical and chemical soil traits.

“…As a result, it is essential to continue testing suitable genetic resources that demonstrate resistance and resilience in urban settings. Many studies are evaluating the suitability of herbaceous and woody ornamental species, as well as food species, primarily concerning their adaptation to abiotic stresses, including multiple summer stressors [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…It can be integrated into living architectural elements, used to create tree-lined streets, incorporated into flowerbeds, and featured in home gardens. Additionally, new small-scale urban vineyards serve multiple purposes, such as ex situ agrobiodiversity conservation, providing opportunities for citizen food education, and promoting wine tourism by preserving local grape-wine culture and traditions [ 31 , 64 ]. In addition to this function, grapevine rows are frequently used in planting design just for using better-adapted genotypes to the urban environment and habitats.…”

Agrobiodiversity represents a system of biological organisms that contribute to agri-food production. In a context marked by a significant loss of food-relevant species and a reduction in their genetic diversity, the adoption of strategies to preserve and enhance the diversity of genetic resources that support and complement agricultural production has become a global challenge. Many sustainable development strategies outlined in recent years directly and indirectly attribute a crucial role to agrobiodiversity in meeting food needs, ensuring food system security, promoting food justice, and enhancing well-being in modern living environments. This contribution aims to analyze the process of knowledge and awareness that has led many cities to plan their urban development by investing in the agricultural matrix and to address the design of open spaces with agricultural biodiversity.

“…The Chl content was used to assess leaf functionality [42], and was estimated using a hand-held MC-100 Chlorophyll Concentration Meter (Apogee Instruments, Inc., Logan, UT, USA), that performs a non-destructive measurement on the leaf without damaging or disrupting it. The meter includes equation with grapevine specific coefficient and display output unit as μmol of Chl per m 2 of leaf surface.…”

Background Biodynamic agriculture is a management approach that aims to reduce the reliance on agrochemicals for production by emphasizing the use of specific natural preparations. A 2-year field trial spanning 2019–2020 was conducted in an established vineyard (Vitis vinifera L., cv. Cesanese d’Affile) to elucidate the impact of the cow horn silica biodynamic preparation (BD-501) on leaf vine physiology, potential resistance via chitinase activity, and analysis of secondary metabolites. The vineyard under biodynamic management was divided into two plots: one treated with BD-501 (BD-501) and the other untreated (BD). Throughout the vine growth season, measurements of carotenoid and chlorophyll levels, polyphenols, and chitinase activity were taken around key phenological phases (BBCH scale). During the ripening phase, a fluorometer was employed to assess chlorophyll fluorescence in the leaves. Results Leaves treated with BD-501 exhibited elevated concentrations of polyphenols and increased chitinase activity during the later phenological phases. In contrast, the untreated BD samples demonstrated high values primarily in the central phase of the observation period but not consistently throughout. At the time of harvest, chlorophyll concentration and quantum yield exhibited no statistically significant differences. BD-501 triggered a distinct response in terms of potential defense mechanisms (elevated polyphenols and chitinase activity) during the veraison phase. However, conversely, lower levels of chlorophylls and carotenoids were observed. Conclusions Nevertheless, a further round of experimental work is required to thoroughly comprehend the regulatory mechanisms behind this adaptive response and to ascertain the efficacy of BD-501.
