“…Estimating stem water potential at midday in the different treatments presented values between -0.50 and -1.00 MPa (Figure 1). The variation of 0.5 MPa is similar to that presented by the water potential of the fruit tissues and is lower than the values reported by other authors in the fruit (17) . Boini and others (18) consider that -1 MPa does not represent limitations and establish a range between -1.5 and -2 MPa for in apple trees.…”

Fruit discards due to physiological disorders and mechanical damage can exceed 50% of apple production in neotropical climate zones such as Uruguay. These damages become generally visible during ripening and storage, but they depend on factors that occur in the field. Sunburn is a major quality defect in fruit, known to be related to high radiation and temperatures, and, more recently, it has also been related to the water status of tissues in fruit and trees. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between fruit damage and fruit tissue water status in “Brasil Gala”, “Cripps Pink” and “Granny Smith”, as well as the effect of treatments to avoid sun damage (50% black net, 20% translucent white net and kaolinite application) on stemwater potential in “Granny Smith”. Fruit water potential decreased throughout the growth cycle. The exposed sides of fruits located outside the tree crown showed lower water potential than the non-exposed sides. Only the 50% black net of the sunburn avoidance treatments modified the water potential.

“…Stem water potential at midday is considered a good indicator of water stress in apple trees (16)(17)(18) and has been evaluated in net response studies (19) . Recent studies examining different irrigation regimes and net types in apple cultivation establish the importance of crop water status on fruit quality (20) .…”

“…While a number of adaptation and mitigation strategies to cope with the effects of climate change on agriculture are being explored by scientists in warm temperate regions, many of these strategies may take as long as 10 to 20 years to be implemented ( Bruinsma, 2003 ). Promising strategies may include shifts to more suitable cultivation areas ( Drogoudi et al., 2020 ; Fernandez et al., 2020a ; del Barrio et al., 2021 ; Rojas et al., 2021 ; Noorazar et al., 2022 ; Meza et al., 2023 ), crop replacement and diversification ( Valverde et al., 2015 ; Almagro et al., 2023 ; Rezgui et al., 2024 ), the introduction of new cultivars ( Funes et al., 2016 ; Ruiz et al., 2019 ; Arenas-Castro et al., 2020 ; Cantin et al., 2020 ; Drogoudi et al., 2020 ), water management strategies ( Fraga et al., 2020 ; Aguirre-Garcia et al., 2021 ; Gutierrez-Gamboa et al., 2022 ; Lulane et al., 2022 ; Espinoza-Meza et al., 2023 ; Rojano-Cruz et al., 2023 ), and technological adaptation ( Luzio et al., 2021 ; Mazis et al., 2021 ; Rojas et al., 2021 ; Teker, 2023 ). However, as the impacts of climate change become increasingly severe, the adaptation and adoption of such strategies will require local and regional research, as well as effective governmental policies focused on the implementation of sustainable management practices and the adoption of new technologies.…”

Temperate fruit and nut crops require distinctive cold and warm seasons to meet their physiological requirements and progress through their phenological stages. Consequently, they have been traditionally cultivated in warm temperate climate regions characterized by dry-summer and wet-winter seasons. However, fruit and nut production in these areas faces new challenging conditions due to increasingly severe and erratic weather patterns caused by climate change. This review represents an effort towards identifying the current state of knowledge, key challenges, and gaps that emerge from studies of climate change effects on fruit and nut crops produced in warm temperate climates. Following the PRISMA methodology for systematic reviews, we analyzed 403 articles published between 2000 and 2023 that met the defined eligibility criteria. A 44-fold increase in the number of publications during the last two decades reflects a growing interest in research related to both a better understanding of the effects of climate anomalies on temperate fruit and nut production and the need to find strategies that allow this industry to adapt to current and future weather conditions while reducing its environmental impacts. In an extended analysis beyond the scope of the systematic review methodology, we classified the literature into six main areas of research, including responses to environmental conditions, water management, sustainable agriculture, breeding and genetics, prediction models, and production systems. Given the rapid expansion of climate change-related literature, our analysis provides valuable information for researchers, as it can help them identify aspects that are well understood, topics that remain unexplored, and urgent questions that need to be addressed in the future.
