Lab Members
The Castellarin laboratory specializes in viticulture and berry crop physiology and investigates the ripening processes in grapes, blueberries, and raspberries, and the biological mechanisms that determine berry composition. By analyzing at the genomic level the pathways that control fruit ripening and composition, and how these pathways are modulated under different environmental conditions, the laboratory aims […]
Measuring grape berry elasticity
Several grapevine varieties are maintained at UBC’s Greenhouse where they are monitored under different stress conditions.
Teaching
Dr. Simone Castellarin teaches courses to provide students with a deep understanding of grapevine biology. Additionally, through his research program he seeks to form new highly qualified personnel with robust knowledge in molecular viticulture to benefit the grape and wine industry.
