Early transcriptional responses associated with downy mildew resistance in grapevine
Downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola remains a central challenge in grapevine production, particularly under conditions aiming at reduced fungicide input.
Evaluation of novel cold-hardy rootstocks for phylloxera and nematode resistance across contrasting environments
Pest- and disease-resistant rootstocks are foundational to sustainable global viticulture, offering a strategy to mitigate edaphic stressors and climatic variability while optimizing scion performance.
Characterization of the soil fungal microbiome associated with mildew-resistant grapevine varieties in La Rioja
The study was conducted using 9 fungal-resistant varieties planted at the “Finca Valdegón,” belonging to the Government of La Rioja.
Evaluation of resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) in twelve Croatian grapevine cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.)
The fungus Erysiphe necator causes powdery mildew (PM), one of the most significant diseases of grapevine.
Expanded host range of grapevine virus A in vineyard ecosystems
Grapevine virus A(GVA), a member of the genus Vitivirus (family Betaflexiviridae), is an economically important pathogen associated with grapevine wood diseases and significant yield losses.
Field performance of fungal resistant crop varieties under diverse integrated pest management approaches in northern Spain
Grapevine production in the EU faces increasing pressure from climate change, high pesticide dependence, and the need to maintain grape and wine quality while reducing environmental impact.
GLRaV-3 infection induces a metabolic reconfiguration of sugar transport and secondary metabolism in Vitis vinifera cv. Malbec
Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) represents a significant threat to viticultural productivity.
Grapevine sanitation: A mini-review
As other vegetatively-propagated species, grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) can be subjected to contamination, throughout the multiplication cycles, with a number of pathogenic agents, including viroids and viruses.
Intra-varietal difference in Plasmopara viticola susceptibility under field conditions
Intra-varietal diversity has been widely studied to improve the adaptability of Vitis vinifera cultivars to climate change, which is altering cultivation conditions, agricultural practices and suitable growing areas.
