Targeting genes involved in the organic acid metabolism of grape berry
Global warming accelerates the loss of acidity in grape berries (Vitis vinifera), a critical parameter for wine quality and sensory freshness.
Transcriptome profiling of genotypes showing contrasting bunch compactness subtraits reveals differential expression of genes involved in cell wall organization and terpene metabolism
Bunch compactness (BC) is a complex trait which can influence several aspects of fruit quality given its role in disease susceptibility, ripening heterogeneity and consumer acceptance (in the case of fresh grapes).
Unravelling the genetic determinants of anthocyanin and polyphenol content in grapevines integrating genome wide association studies and metabolomic profiling
The quality and productivity of grapevines are highly dependent on environmental factors. Climate change is altering grapevine physiology and wine production conditions, thus, winegrowers need to adapt to maintain optimal production and wine quality.
Comparative analysis of infection and defensive strategies associated with powdery mildew disease in grapevine and strawberry
Domesticated strawberry and grape are fruits of very significant commercial and nutritional importance worldwide.
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.
Metabolic responses of grapevine leaves to grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3-infection
Grapevine leafroll disease, primarily associated with grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3), significantly affects grapevine physiology and productivity.
Metabolomic profiling of grapevine leaf apoplast upon pathogen infection
Grapevine is one of the most important crops worldwide. In a climate change scenario, vineyards face not only abiotic challenges, but also recurrent annual outbreaks of diseases, such as downy mildew and grey mould, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola (PV) and the fungi Botrytis cinerea (BC), respectively.
Phenotypic and genotypic assessment of black rot resistance in a grapevine diversity panel
Black rot, caused by the ascomycete Guignardia bidwellii (anamorph Phyllosticta ampelicida), is an important fungal disease of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) and can lead to severe yield losses, particularly under warm and humid conditions.
Profiling of miRNA responses to viral coinfections in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops worldwide and is susceptible to numerous pathogens, including viruses.
Molecular, metabolic, hormonal, and cell wall profiling of ripe grapes exhibiting esca disease
Esca is a major grapevine trunk disease caused by a consortium of xylem-colonising and wood-degrading fungi, including Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, Phaeoacremonium minimum and Fomitiporia mediterranea and poses a growing threat to vineyard longevity.
Simultaneous detection of grapevine viruses, viroids, and satellite RNAs by high-throughput and targeted assays
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is considered to be among the most widely grown and major fruit crops worldwide with high economic importance.
Spatio-temporal dynamics of wound-induced defence responses in grapevine revealed by multiple approaches
