Unveiling the Grapevine Red Blotch Virus (GRBV) host-pathogen arms-race via multi-omics for enhanced viral defense 

S’intende per Piano Regolatore delle Città del Vino la metodologia per redigere la parte strutturale dello strumento comunale di governo del territorio. Parliamo, infatti, del principale strumento comunale di governo del territorio, così come è venuto maturando nella riflessione delle Città del Vino, strumento che si misura con la sfida di governare tutto il territorio in modo coerente e sostenibile, a partire dal riconoscimento del valore del “sistema vigneto” e della sua intrinseca fragilità.

On peut être surpris de l’existence d’un vignoble de vins liquoreux, le vignoble des Coteaux du Layon, dans une zone septentrionale à la limite Nord de la culture de qualité de la vigne et ce d’autant plus que le cépage de ce vignoble, le Chenin ou Pineau de la Loire, est un cépage semi tardif. La première explication est à rechercher au niveau des facteurs naturels (données climatiques et géopédologiques) permettant la réalisation de ce type de produit. Il est nécessaire de souligner ici l’importance de chaque paramètre du terroir pris dans im sens large (géopédologique et climatique) et que toute variation de l’un d’entre eux, même non perceptible en première analyse à l’homme, peut avoir des incidences déterminantes sur la qualité des vins.

Berry texture and berry skin mechanical properties have high agronomic importance, related to quality and marketing requirements of wine, table and raisin grapes.

Botrytis cinerea Pers., the causal agent of grey mould disease, is responsible for substantial economic losses, as it causes reduction of grape and wine quality and quantity. Exploitation of antagonistic yeasts is a promising strategy for controlling grey mould incidence and limiting the usage of synthetic fungicides. In our previous studies, 119 different indigenous yeasts were screened for putative multidimensional modes of action against filamentous fungus B. cinerea [1]. The most promissing biocontrol yeast was Pichia guilliermondii ZIM624, which exhibited several anatagonistic traits (production of cell wall degrading enzymes, chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase; demonstration of in vitro inhibitory effect on B. cinerea mycelia radial growth; production of antifungal volatiles, assimilation of a broad diversity of carbon sources, contributing to its competitivnes in inhabiting grapes in nature).

The first forms of life on earth were bacteria and single-celled blue-green algae. They evolved into land plants around 500 million years ago, developing mechanisms for surviving on land, such as roots, stems and leaves. This evolution also led them to coexist with other organisms, such as insects and animals, for pollination and seed dispersal, as well as to resist environmental factors such as drought and disease.
