Bio/Research
Paolo Sabbatini, is an assistant professor of Horticulture with research (60%) and extension (40%) responsibilities in viticulture. His activities focus on wine and juice grapes physiology under Michigan cool climate conditions. The main objective is identifying environmental, physiological and cultural factors that limit vine growth and development, fruit maturity and quality. He is studying a) photosynthetic carbon assimilation and partitioning, b) effect of biotic and abiotic stress on vine yield and fruit quality, and c) canopy management for maximizing sunlight interception and penetration in the fruiting and renewal zone of the vine. His ultimate research goal is to solve whole plant physiological problems that will optimize grape productivity and fruit quality in the field.
