Aims
Vine Anatomy and Genetics
- Gain essential knowledge of higher plant internal and external anatomy at the whole plant, organ, and tissue levels.
- Understand grapevine development and adaptation mechanisms influencing practices of grapevine management like pruning, hedging, and yield control.
- Learn the principles of Mendelian, quantitative, and molecular genetics, along with the grapevine genome's unique traits.
- Explore genetic improvement strategies for a perennial heterozygous crop and how molecular/biotechnological methods accelerate breeding programs.
Ampelography
- Understand the diversity of grapevine plant material.
- Learn the taxonomy and systematics of Vitaceae botanical family, the diversity of Vitis genus and V. vinifera species. Address the domestication process and the classification of cultivated varieties and clonal variations.
- Study grape domestication, evolution, and varietal selection for grape variety, hybrids, and rootstocks.
- Apply methods for identifying grape varieties and use ampelographic descriptions to recognize major international cultivars in the field.
- Gain insights into the agronomic and enological potential of key varieties (grape variety, hybrids, and rootstocks).

Programme
Language of instruction : In English
Vine Anatomy and Genetics
This training covers grapevine organ morphology and anatomy, including roots, trunks, shoots, leaves, buds, flowers, berries, and seeds. Participants will learn about the grapevine's annual cycle, vegetation phases, and qualitative and quantitative aspects, focusing on organ changes and biomass evaluation. The curriculum also introduces classical genetics foundations, grapevine genome features, genetic diversity in domesticated varieties, and methods for breeding and improving agronomic traits.
Ampelography
In this training, participants explore ampelography's history and importance, including identification and description methods. They will study the taxonomy of the Vitaceae family, diversity within the Vitis genus, domestication of V. vinifera, and classification of cultivated varieties and clones. Key rootstocks, interspecific hybrids, and grape varieties varieties will be described.
