This discussion-based course will delve in-depth into the biological and physiological underpinnings of grapevine growth and management.

Outcome 1: Describe grapevine organs, their origins, and functions.

Outcome 2: Describe the vegetative and reproductive cycles of the grapevine.

Outcome 3: Demonstrate the relationship between water relations and nutrient uptake.

Outcome 4: Theorize the causes of carbon limitations and their impact on vine growth and fruit composition.

Outcome 5: Identify specific impacts of biotic stresses on the vine.

Outcome 6: Integrate vine physiology with environmental variables to guide potential vineyard practices.
