The assessment of vine water uptake conditions by <sup>13</sup>c/<sup>12</sup>c discrimination in grape sugar

Carbon isotope discrimination in primary products of photosynthesis varies with plant water uptake conditions. This property was used to show that the 13C/12C ratio (called ΔC13) in grape sugars and tartrate measured at ripeness can be a valuable indicator of vine water deficit. Correlation between...
