During a study of Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with grapevine trunk diseases in the Czech Republic, collection 22 Botryosphaeriaceae-like strains were isolated from four cultivars (Blaufränkisch, Pálava, Pinot Noir, and Welschriesling) distinct vineyards. Based on morphology DNA sequence data (ITS, tub2, tef), identified: Botryosphaeria dothidea, Diplodia mutila, D. seriata, Neofusicoc...

Grapevine trunk diseases: Eutypa dieback, esca and Botryosphaeria dieback, which incidence has increased recently, are associated with several symptoms finally leading to the plant death. In the absence of efficient treatments, these diseases are a major problem for the viticulture; however, the factors involved in disease progression are not still fully identified. In order to get a better und...

Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTDs) are a major challenge to the grape industry worldwide. GTDs responsible for considerable loss of quality, production, and vineyard longevity. Seventy-five percent Chilean vineyards estimated be affected by GTDs. complex diseases caused several fungi species, including members Botryosphaeriaceae family Phaeomoniella chlamydospora , considered some most important c...

Botryosphaeria dieback is one of the most prevalent grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs), and caused by fungi in Botryosphaeriaceae. Fungi invade vascular systems mainly through pruning wounds, cause cankers necrotic lesions, which lead to decline death. Lasiodiplodia theobromae has been reported as a highly virulent pathogen grapevine, was previously Mexican vineyards. The taxonomy recently revised...

Grapevine trunk diseases cause important economic losses in vineyards worldwide. Neofusicoccum parvum, one of the most aggressive causal agents of the trunk disease Botryosphaeria dieback, colonizes cells and tissues of the grapevine wood, leading to the formation of an internal canker. Symptoms then extend to distal shoots, with wilting of leaves and bud mortality. Our aim was to characterize ...

The re-emergence of Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTDs), mainly Esca, has been observed in most the world’s vineyards during last two decades. Development necrosis grapevine wood, especially white-rot, is typically associated with Esca-diseased plants. One different methods being used attempts to eradicate GTDs curettage. This old cultural practice, which consists surgically removing necrotic speci...

Abstract The Esca disease complex includes some of the most important trunk diseases grapevines ( Vitis spp.) and causes serious yield losses in grape production worldwide. However, there has been no detailed study on its presence associated pathogens China. During 2017–2019, a preliminary field survey was conducted eight vineyards Hebei Ningxia provinces, China when unusual foliar symptoms wer...
