Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues，
In the areas suitable for grapevine cultivation, we are progressively witnessing an anomalous distribution of the rains, a thermal increase, and extreme levels of incident solar radiation. The synergistic action of these stress factors might cause both a photosynthetic depression and an interruption of ripening. Although several agronomic techniques have been implemented to cope with the heat waves affecting berry ripening, there is still scant information on the effect of these practices in a multiple and severe summer stress scenario. In this Special Issue, research papers, communications, and review articles focusing on the investigation of the effects of multiple stresses throughout grapevine berry ripening are all welcome. In particular, we encourage contributions in which multidisciplinary approaches are applied in order to investigate the effects of multiple stresses on the physiological, biochemical. and molecular aspect of the vine serving as an asset to develop successful mitigation strategies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
