Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) is one of the most destructive diseases of the cultivated species Vitis vinifera. The use of resistant varieties, originally derived from backcrosses of North American Vitis spp., is a promising solution to reduce disease damage in the vineyards. To shed light on the type and the timing of pathogen-triggered resistance, this work aimed at discovering biomarker...

BACKGROUND Downy mildews are a group of microorganisms belonging to the Chromista kingdom that can infect specific plants. When growing on plant tissues these microbes can elicit the expression of pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs), a group of stress-induced proteins frequently described as allergens in many plant species. Our aim was to verify by a proteomic approach whether the allergic reac...

We consider in this work the analysis of the excess heat capacity C(p)(ex) versus temperature profiles in terms of a model of thermal protein denaturation involving one irreversible step. It is shown that the dependences of ln C(p)(ex) on 1 T (T is the absolute temperature) obtained at various temperature scanning rates have the same form. Several new methods for estimation of parameters of the...

Resistance to abiotic and biotic stress is a central topic for sustainable agriculture, especially in grapevine, one of the field crops with the highest economic output per acreage. As early cellular factors for plant defense, actin microfilaments (AF) are of high relevance. We therefore generated a transgenic actin marker line for grapevine by expressing a fusion protein between green fluoresc...
