Response to powdery and downy mildew of varieties with disease resistance genes (PIWI)

Abstract

Erysiphe necator and Plasmopara viticola are the causal agents of powdery and downy mildew on grapevines, leading to significant economic losses. Numerous chemical treatments are applied to control these diseases, leading to environmental problems and the appearance of resistance to these products. Therefore, the study of new strategies to achieve the objectives of sustainable development is a priority. In this sense, the use of new varieties resistant to these diseases may be an option of interest. The objective of this work was to analyze the degree of resistance of 9 varieties with downy mildew resistance genes (Rpv3 and/or Rpv12), four of which also carry a powdery mildew resistance gene (Ren 1) by in vitro inoculation assays. Young leaves previously sterilized were inoculated with a vacuum tower. Fungal development was evaluated on a scale from 1 to 5, seven and 14 days after inoculation. At 7 days, mycelium growth, without development of conidiophores, was observed in all varieties, with Eidos having the highest incidence. At 14 days, none of the varieties reached a scale of 4, except Mazuelo (used as standard). The highest incidence was recorded in the Volos variety. Preliminary trials on downy mildew also showed differences in resistance to attack by P. viticola, with Kretos having the highest incidence of the disease, but further trials will be conducted to validate these data. These results reveal that these varieties may be an alternative in order to reduce the number of spray applications to control the fungus.

The role of ampelographic collection in genetic improvement of native varieties and the creation new varieties

The available plant diversity is maintained in global genetic collections and germplasm banks. One of the main objectives of the study of the genetic material of vine still conducting research to characterize the genotypes and the creation of new varieties. The main ampelographic collection of the country, the largest in the Balkans, is located at the Athens Vine Institute in Lykovrisi, Attica, in an area of 70 acres. It contains more than 800 varieties, most of which are indigenous. The Institute is conducting research on the genetic improvement of native varieties and the creation new winemaking and table grape varieties of high productivity, grape quality, resistance to fungal diseases and their adaptability to stresses using the hybridization method using European high-quality varieties.

The grapevine QTLome is ripe: QTL survey, databasing, and first applications

Overarching surveys of QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) studies in both model plants and staple crops have facilitated the access to information and boosted the impact of existing data on plant improvement activities. Today, the grapevine community is ready to take up the challenge of making the wealth of QTL information F.A.I.R.. To ensure that all valuable published data can be used more effectively, the myriad of identified QTLs have to be captured, standardised and stored in a dedicated public database.
As an outcome of the GRAPEDIA initiative, QTL-dedicated experts from around the world have gathered to compile the grapevine QTLome: the complete information (e.g., map positions, associated phenotypes) describing all experimentally supported QTLs for a specific trait.
