Una rassegna delle influenza dei portainnesti sulla produzione di metaboliti secondari nell'uva rossa

The use of rootstocks in the cultivation of grapes is obligatory owing to the 19th Century blight caused by the root-girdling aphid Daktulospharia phylloxera (WSET, 2012). Rootstocks play a vital role in the survival of the vine, as they are primarily involved in the assimilation of water and nutri-ents (Hikey, King, 2001). However, rootstocks have the ability to influence various parameters of berry development, such as Total Simple Sugars, To-tal Acidity, Quantity of Secondary Metabolites, etc. (Ivit, Baboo, 2013) . This thesis is oriented towards the comprehension, collation and codifica-tion of works relating to the influence of root-stocks to the production of polyphenols and anthocyanins.
