Grape is the world's economic horticultural crop; it is perishable due to various pathogens and abiotic stress attributed to water loss-induced issues. To address these postharvest problems, this research investigates the effects of light irradiation on anthocyanins synthesis and energy metabolism...

Introduction: Polydatin is a biologically active compound found in mulberries, grapes, and Polygonum cuspidatum, and it has uric acid-lowering effects. However, its urate-lowering effects and the molecular mechanisms underlying its function require further study. Methods: In this study, a...

Two major diseases that affect grapevine leaves and berries are controlled by the oomycete Pythium oligandrum. As the efficacy of biocontrol agents strongly depends on factors such as the trophic behaviors of pathogens and cultivar susceptibility, a two-disease approach was implemented to evaluate...

Fomitiporia mediterranea M. Fischer (Fmed) is a white-rot wood-decaying fungus associated with one of the most important and challenging diseases in vineyards: Esca. To relieve microbial degradation, woody plants, including Vitis vinifera, use structural and chemical weapons. Lignin is the most...

One hundred twenty-five yeast strains isolated from table grapes and apples were evaluated for the control Botrytis cinerea of in vitro and in vivo. Ten strains were selected for their ability to inhibit mycelial growth of B. cinerea in vitro. In the in vivo assays, these yeasts were tested at 20°C ...

Introduction: Today, alternative strategies based on the use of bioactive compounds have been proposed to reduce mycotoxin contamination and limit the use of chemical fungicides. Methods: In the present work, several by-products collected from the agri-food chain (i.e., red and white grape marc,...

Introduction: The increase of temperature due to climate change at different phenological stages of grapevine has already been demonstrated to affect accumulation of primary and secondary metabolites in grape berries. This has a significant implication for Pinot noir especially in New Zealand...

Xinjiang is the largest grape-producing region in China and the main grape cultivation area in the world. The Eurasian grape resources grown in Xinjiang are very rich in diversity. The sugar composition and content are the main factors that determine the quality of berries. However, there are...

Abiotic stresses, such as temperature, heat waves, water limitation, solar radiation and the increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration, significantly influence the accumulation of secondary metabolites in grapevine berries at different developmental stages, and in vegetative organs. Transcriptional ...

In June 2021, grape anthracnose, characterized by circular brown necrotic lesions with yellow borders on young leaves of Vitis vinifera cv. Red Globe, was observed in Yangling, Shaanxi Province, China. The pathogen responsible for this disease was identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides...
