Ecophysiological Response of Vitis vinifera L. in an Urban Agrosystem: Preliminary Assessment of Genetic Variability.

ABSTRACT: Urban agriculture is an emerging challenge. Identifying suitable agrosystems that allow for the multiple functions of urban agriculture represents a key issue for the reinforcement of the agricultural matrix in cities, with the aims of counteracting and adapting to climate change and providing economic and social benefits. This study aims to produce a preliminary assessment of the adaptability of Italian native and non-native Vitis vinifera L. cultivars to the stressors of an urban environment. The investigation was carried out on the grapevine collection of the Botanical Garden of Rome ("Vigneto Italia"). A total of 15 grapevine varieties were selected for the evaluation of leaf chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance, and chlorophyll fluorescence under abiotic conditions during
