Fungal trunk diseases are some of the most destructive diseases of grapevine in all grape
growing areas of the world. Management of GTDs has been intensively studied for decades …

Main conclusion Heat and water stresses, individually or combined, affect both the plant
(development, physiology, and production) and the pathogens (growth, morphology …

This study documents the morphology and phylogeny of ascomycetes collected from karst
landscapes of Guizhou Province, China. Based on morphological characteristics in …

Mycoviruses can have a marked effect on natural fungal communities and influence plant
health and productivity. However, a comprehensive picture of mycoviral diversity is still …

Although metals are essential for the molecular machineries of life, systematic methods for
discovering metal–small molecule complexes from biological samples are limited. Here, we …

Background Trunk diseases threaten the longevity and productivity of grapevines in all
viticulture production systems. They are caused by distantly-related fungi that form chronic …

We describe a method that exploits c ontiguity p reserving t ransposase seq uencing (CPT-
seq) to facilitate the scaffolding of de novo genome assemblies. CPT-seq is an entirely in …

This review illuminates key findings in our understanding of grapevine xylem resistance to
fungal vascular wilt diseases. Grapevine (Vitis spp.) vascular diseases such as esca …

Mycoviruses can be beneficial to plants in that they can debilitate pathogenic fungi thereby
reducing the severity of associated plant diseases. Studies to date have focused primarily on …

Cell walls are barriers that impair colonization of host tissues, but also are important
reservoirs of energy-rich sugars. Growing hyphae of necrotrophic fungal pathogens, such as …
