Due to the expansion of phylloxera into European vineyards rootstocks became an integral part of successful modern growing of grapevine. The capability of grapevine plants to adapt themselves to pedological conditions, especially to drought and a high content of lime (or factors inducing their chlorosis), represents a very important breeding goal. Possible causes of lime-induced chlorosis and drought damage and their consequences are analysed in this article. Chlorosis shows a significant effect on both the yield and quality of grapes. Some important drought-and-lime induced chlorosis-related properties of different rootstocks are mentioned.
