A gene expression study of grapevine berries grown in different Italian vineyards has highlighted genes that help buffer the plants against environmental change and may explain the different quality performances of grapevine when grown in different "terroirs." The research could be used to help identify and breed grapevine varieties better suited to climate change and improve berry and wine quality.
