Inhibition of Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew and Black Rot and Differential Expression of Defence?Related Genes in Conventional and Non?Conventional Treatments
- Nettle and Japanese knotweed extracts reduce disease incidence in grapevine leaves, show limited control of berry infections and induce defence?related genes, supporting their role as elicitors in...
Grape (Vitis L.) biodiversity: Historical uses, current status, and future potential
- Grapes (Vitis L. ? Vitaceae) are among the most important fruit crops globally, consumed in the form of wine, fresh fruit, raisins, and in many products. Complex and fascinating biocultural processes...
Conservation gap analysis for wild grapevines (Vitis L.) of the Americas
- Wild grapevines (Vitis L.) native to the Americas are ecologically and culturally important plants that are also critical to the global cultivated grape industry as sources of traits for crop...
2025 Annual Report Agricultural & Environmental Letters
- AbstractExcessive vine growth in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) can limit fungicide spray penetration, reducing protection against foliar diseases. Prohexadione calcium suppresses vine growth and may...
Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Trichoderma atroviride 77B
- AbstractThe conclusions of the EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State, the Netherlands, for the pesticide...
Enhancing spray coverage in peanut canopies using prohexadione calcium
- AbstractExcessive vine growth in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) can limit fungicide spray penetration, reducing protection against foliar diseases. Prohexadione calcium suppresses vine growth and may...
Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard
- Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six?decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to...
The grapevine LysM receptor kinase VvLYK4-2 is a key player in chitosan-triggered immune responses
13/03/2026 - Chitooligosaccharides, such as chitin, are essential components of fungal cell walls and have thus naturally been selected as microbe-associated molecular patterns detected by plants to initiate...
Genome-wide association studies in horticultural crops: decoding genetic diversity for precision breeding
27/02/2026 - Horticultural crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, and tea plants, are vital for economic and nutritional sustainability, yet their cultivation is severely hampered by abiotic...
Complete genomes of grapevine downy mildew reveal effector cluster evolution driven by complex structural variations
04/03/2026 - Plasmopara viticola, the causal agent of grapevine downy mildew, exhibits substantial intraspecific variation in pathogenicity and genetic diversity, yet the genomic features underlying this...
Applications of Ozonated Water for Effectively Controlling Grape Powdery Mildew in Vineyards and Enhancing Berry Metabolites
- Ozonated water effectively controls grape powdery mildew with 85%–100% efficacy and inhibits Erysiphe necator spore germination by up to 97%. Preventive ozonated water treatments enhance...
Identification of Genes Involved in Resistance to Flavescence Dorée Disease of Grapevine: A Model Study Using Arabidopsis thaliana
- Arabidopsis thaliana genes conferring resistance to flavescence dorée (FD) phytoplasma were identified, revealing vector?independent defence mechanisms and providing potential targets for breeding...
Sexual Reproduction of Plasmopara viticola in Wine Regions of Southern Brazil, Climatic Suitability, Oospore Formation and Germination
- This is the first study to confirm Plasmopara viticola oospore formation in all major wine?growing regions of southern Brazil and oospore germination under local conditions on susceptible and...
VvU2A?-mediated circRNA biogenesis confers salt tolerance in grapevine via the VvcircHMA1-VvmiR167b-VvARF6 pathway
22/12/2025 - Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in plant stress responses, yet their dynamic regulation during stress remains unclear. This study elucidates a molecular mechanism whereby the grapevine...
