Shiraz has shown that on primary roots phylloxera feed within the root cortex. Nodosity formation is accompanied by inhibition of endodermis differentiation and accumulation of starch to a concentration approximately ten times that in uninfested roots. Comparisons of nodosities with uninfested roots by SDS-PAGE analysis of proteins revealed higher concentrations in nodosities but no significant differences in composition; HPLC analysis of free amino acids showed more than double the amino nitrogen content in nodosities; Northern blot analysis, targeting various genes including those proposed to be defence-related, revealed no significant change in gene expression with the exception of the VvTLZ gene which was upregulated in leaves of SRU-I phylloxera infested vines. The interaction of phylloxera with several rootstocks or resistant vine species (Schwarzmann, Ramsey, V. riparia, Börner, V. rotundiþlia) was compared with the interaction with V. vinifera. Tissue culture-based cocultivations allowed assessment of resistance to VWl-strain phylloxera, and allowed biotype comparisons of the strains VWL- 1 and SRU-I. VWL-I phylloxera established successful nodosities on V. vinifura and Ramsey, with poorer performance on Ramsey. VWL-I phylloxera could not survive on the other varieties, and did not even attempt to feed onV. rotundiþlia.

Accepted 29.08.2020) SUMMARY Noble rot wine is a specific type of sweet wine that derives from the infection of grape berries by a fungus called Botrytis cinerea. These wines are produced in specific wine regions around the world, with Sauternes region of France and Tokay region of Hungary being the most famous ones. The purpose of the current article is to provide a systematic review on the different stages of botrytized wines production, including a detailed analysis of the technical aspects involved. Specifically, it describes the process and development of berry infection by B. cinerea, and special emphasis is given to the main stages and operations of winemaking, conservation, aging and stabilization. A complex combination of a number of parameters (e.g., very specific environmental conditions) explains the rarity of noble rot occurrence and highlights the uniqueness of botrytized wines. RESUMO Os vinhos botritizados representam uma categoria específica de vinhos doces, sendo obtidos a partir de bagos de uva infectados pelo fungo Botrytis cinerea, através de um processo designado por podridão nobre. Estes vinhos são produzidos em regiões específicas do mundo, sendo Sauternes e Tokay, originários de França e Hungria respectivamente, os exemplos mais conhecidos a nível mundial.

  • Epidemiology of Grape Powdery Mildew, Uncinula Necator, in the Willamette Valley
    An Abstract of the Thesis of Tyrone W. Hall for the degree of Master of Science in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on February 07,2000. Title: Epidemiology of Grape Powdery Mildew, Uncinula necator, in the Willamette Valley. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: W Iter F. Mahaffee An important disease of Vitis vinifera production in Oregon and all other commercial growing regions is powdery mildew of grape, caused by the obligate fungal pathogen Unci nula necator (Schwein.) Burril. Grape production can be characterized as a long-term investment in the establishment and maintenance of the vineyard. Establishment times have been reduced with the use of plastic vine shelters, but powdery mildew disease pressure within vine shelters had been an unaddressed issue. Control of the pathogen requires frequent spray applications and costly cultural management of the grape canopy. Industry interest in forecasting programs have shown promise in regulating spray applications to times when they are most effective, or needed. The timing of when to begin spray programs is believed to be a point of weakness in the forecasting programs currently available for grape powdery mildew. The influence of vine shelter use on the development of powdery mildew was investigated in the field during the 1998 and 1999 growing season. Industry standard installations of various brands of vine shelters were tested against modified installations for both incidence and severity of Uncinula necator infection. The industry standard installation of76 ern high tubes hilled with 8 ern of soil at the bottom to prevent airflow, were effective in reducing the incidence of powdery mildew in both field seasons.

    STUDIES ON THE STORAGE ROT OF SWEET POTATO (IPOMOEA BATATAS L & LAM) BY BOTRYODIPLODIA THEOBROMAE PAT. AND OTHER FUNGI By Anthony Elue Arinze B.Sc., M.Sc. (Lagos) a A thesis submitted in part fulfilment of it) the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London. Department of Botany and Plant Technology Imperial College of Science and Technology Field Station Silwood Park Ascot Berkshire U.K. AUGUST, 1978 - 2 - ABSTRACT The storage rot of sweet potato (s.p.) (Ipomoea batatas) tuberous roots by Botryodiplodia theobromae (B.t.), Botrytis cinerea (B.c.) and Cladosporium cucumerinum (C.c.) was studied. The tuber was susceptible to rot by B. theobromae but was coloni,ed to a limited extent by B. cinerea and C. cucumerinum. The role of pectic enzymes in the successful rotting of s.p. by B.t. was investigated. B.t. produced four PG isoenzymes in vitro one of which was recovered from rotted sweet potato tissue. The properties of these isoenzymes were studied. The possible interaction between the host's metabolites (phenols and oxidative • enzymes) and the pectic enzymes of B.t. was discussed in relation to the successful rotting of the tuber by the fungus. Comparatively little pectic enzyme (PG) was recovered from tissues inoculated with B.c. and no pectic enzyme was found in tissues inoculated with C.c. Low temperature treatment (0-7°C) of the tuber induced chilling injury rendering the tissues more susceptible to rot by the fungi. The accumulation of antifungal compounds by s.p. inoculated with B.t., B.c.

  • The Influence of Phosphorus Availability, Scion, and Rootstock on Grapevine Shoot Growth, Leaf Area, and Petiole Phosphorus Concentration R
    The Influence of Phosphorus Availability, Scion, and Rootstock on Grapevine Shoot Growth, Leaf Area, and Petiole Phosphorus Concentration R. STANLEY GRANT ~* and M. A. MATTHEWS 2 Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and Chenin blanc (Cb) scions on Freedom, AxR#1, St. George, and 110R rootstocks were grown under conditions of sufficient (+P) and deficient (-P) soil phosphorous availability. Shoot length, shoot dry weight, leaf area, and petiole P concentration were lower for -P compared to +P vines. Cb vines had larger leaves and more leaf area than CS vines and the leaf area of Cb vines was less inhibited by exposure to -P than was CS vines. Vines on Freedom had longer shoots, greater shoot biomass, and greater leaf area than vines on other rootstocks regardless of P availability. Under +P vines on St. George produced less shoot dry weight than vines on Freedom, but more than vines on 110R. However, the shoot dry weight and leaf area of vines on St. George was greatly inhibited by -P and vines on St. George appeared to not use P efficiently for growth under these conditions. Vines on 110R produced the least amount of shoot growth and leaf area among the rootstocks under +P, but were also the least inhibited by -P conditions. The shoot dry weight and leaf area of vines on AxR#1 was intermediate between vines on Freedom and vines on St. George and 110R, and were inhibited by -P slightly less than St. George. Freedom and 110R are more suitable for low P soils than St. George and AxR#1.
