Supporting evidence — 5 representative gaps

• Effect of Applying GA3 Treatment on Vitis vinifera Agronomical Traits and Embryo Germination Rate (2026) · Advances in Biology & Earth Sciences · doi

  The mechanisms of seedlessness in Vitis vinifera are not fully understood. The effect of GA3 treatment on grape berry formation and phenological characteristics is not well studied. There is a need to investigate the potential of GA3 treatment to induce seedlessness in grape berries.

• Effect of Applying GA3 Treatment on Vitis vinifera Agronomical Traits and Embryo Germination Rate (2026) · Advances in Biology & Earth Sciences · doi

  The study only considered a limited number of grape cultivars. The experiment was conducted in a controlled environment. The study did not investigate the long-term effects of GA3 treatment.

• 24-Epibrassinolide, Seaweed Extract, and Cluster Thinning as Partial Gibberellic Acid Substitutes in Improving ‘Thompson Seedless’ (H4 strain) Grape Quality (2026) · Journal of Plant Growth Regulation · doi

  The need for alternative approaches to improve grape quality and disease resistance, given the negative effects of excessive GA3 use. The lack of studies evaluating the synergistic effects of combining reduced GA3 doses with biostimulants and cultural practices.

  The challenge of achieving a delicate balance between vegetative vigor and reproductive quality in grape cultivation. The need to mitigate the negative effects of excessive GA3 use on wood ripening and fruit quality. The challenge of validating the findings using multivariate analyses and determining the effects of different combinations on grape quality and disease resistance.
