This study aimed to characterize the effects of bunch rot and powdery mildew on the primary quality parameter of wine, the aroma. The influence of these fungal diseases was studied by comparative Aroma Extract Dilution Analyses (AEDA) and sensory tests. The effect of bunch rot was investigated on three grape varieties, namely White Riesling, Red Riesling and Gewürztraminer and that of powdery m...

thirty seven isolates of erysiphe necator were collected from different vineyards from three regions and nine cities of khorasan razavi province within two time periods i.e. may to june and august to september 2009. their resistance to azoxystrobin + difenconazole (ortiva®) fungicide as well as cross resistance to penconazole and hexaconazole fungicides registered in iran for the control of pow...

Initiation of asexual sporulation in powdery mildews is preceded by a period of superficial vegetative growth of mildew colonies. We found evidence of a quorum-sensing signal in Erysiphe necator that was promulgated at the colony center and stimulated conidiation throughout the colony. Removal of the colony center after putative signal promulgation had no impact upon timing of sporulation by 48...

Advantages of vineyard cover crops include soil conservation, nutrient and water cycling, a better growth–yield balance. They naturally promote agro-system biological multifunctionality, biocenosis, pest control. However, for the role on disease control, there is still lack information. We performed systematic evaluation management effects development two main pathogens: Plasmopara viticola Ery...

Abstract Background Mitochondrial transcription termination factor (mTERF) is a large gene family which plays significant role during plant growth under various environmental stresses. However, knowledge of mTERF genes in grapevine ( Vitis L.) limited. Results In this research, comprehensive analysis grape VvmTERF ) genes, including chromosome locations, phylogeny, protein motifs, structures, d...

Phylogenetic relationships of the Uncinula lineage, which is the basal group in the genus Erysiphe, were investigated with 167 sequences of nuc ITS1-5. 8S-ITS2 and the 28S rDNA regions. Backbone tree analyses with six datasets and two tree-constructing methods revealed that the Uncinula lineage is divided into seven distinct clades. Clades 1-5 each contained a representative powdery mildew spec...

Previously, VpPR-10.1 was isolated and characterized from a cDNA library of a fungus-resistant accession of Chinese wild grape (Vitis pseudoreticulata). We found that expression of VpPR-10.1 is affected by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe necator. To investigate the biochemical basis of the nuclease activity of VpPR-10.1 and its role in antifungal resistance, we generated recombinant VpPR-10.1 as w...

Powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator is one of the most important grapevine diseases in several viticulture areas, and high fungicide input is required to control it. However, numerous synthetic chemical pesticides are under scrutiny due to concerns about their impact on human health and the environment. Biopesticides, such as biogenic elicitors, are a promising alternative to chemical fun...
