The main purpose of the Laboratory of Viticulture is to provide knowledge and training in Viticulture and Vitiography at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The educational topics include the morphology and anatomy of the vine, the propagation and in-vitro cultivation of the vine, the establishment of a vineyard, the principles of pruning, the training and support of the scions, the physiology and ecology of the vine, the cultivation techniques and interventions in the vineyard.
In addition, the Laboratory's activities include research on clonal selection issues in Greek grape varieties, viticultural description and classification of Greek grape varieties, identification and genetic study of Greek grape varieties using biochemical and molecular methods, grapevine improvement with cell and tissue culture, comparative study of new scion training systems, grapevine nutrition, study of the effects of soil organic matter on the grapevine, as well as study of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of grapes and must (sugars, total and individual acids, total and individual phenolics, total and individual anthocyanins, antioxidant capacity, etc.) of grape varieties cultivated in Greece.
Infrastructure - equipment :
The team of the Laboratory of Viticulture has participated in many national and international research programs with main research subjects the genetic study of the main Greek grape varieties using ampelographic and molecular methods, the effect of fertilization, irrigation and pruning on the physiology and ecophysiology of the grapevine, the cultivation of various varieties under vineyard conditions, the dormancy of dormant buds, the qualitative evaluation of grapevine varieties, etc.
The Laboratory of Viticulture of AUA is fully equipped with scientific instruments for conducting experiments. It is equipped with a genetic analyzer (Genetic Analyzer, Applied Biosystems), PCR thermal cycler, equipment for agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, HPLC and UV/VIS spectrophotometers, a gas chromatograph for the determination of qualitative and quantitative characters of grape varieties, water baths, an ice-making machine, ovens for sterilizing artificial nutrient substrates, 4°C refrigerators, -20°C and -80°C freezers, a nematic flow chamber, a fume hood for biosafety, centrifuges, precision balances, shakers, a water distiller (MQ), a plant growth chamber with a controlled environment and adjustable temperature-light-humidity.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
