A number of different types of induced resistance have been defined based on differences in
signalling pathways and spectra of effectiveness, including systemic acquired resistance …

Climate change and disproportionate anthropogenic interventions, such as the excess of
phytopharmaceutical products and continuous soil tillage, are jeopardizing viticulture by …

The discipline of weed science is at a critical juncture. Decades of efficient chemical weed
control have led to a rise in the number of herbicide-resistant weed populations, with few …

Induction of plant defense (s) against pathogen challenge (s) has been the object of

Abstract Development and optimisation of alternative strategies to reduce the use of classic
chemical inputs for protection against diseases in vineyard is becoming a necessity. Among …

Background Potato late blight caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans
can lead to immense yield loss. We investigated the transcriptome of Solanum tubersoum …

The economic loss and the failure of the chemical control measures to impede downy
mildew infection on the grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) have led to the exploration of biocontrol …

Crop protection strategies based on cupric products and mainly adopted in organic
viticulture produce a consistent environmental impact due to the persistence of copper in …

Over a long time, the ongoing global changing scenario has led to increase temperature
levels and CO 2 concentration that in turn influenced the severity and frequency of biotic and …

Plasmopara viticola, a causal agent of grapevine downy mildew, is a widely distributed
pathogen, which can cause destructive disease in field-grown grapevines. Although …
