The compatible interaction between Erysiphe necator and Vitis vinifera induces significant alterations in the host transcriptome, affecting essentially those genes involved in signalling and secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways. The precise transcriptomic changes vary from the early events to later stages of infection. In the present work, suppressive subtraction hybridization (SSH) was u...

Fungal pathogens are the cause of the most common diseases in grapevine and among them powdery mildew represents a major focus for disease management. Different strategies for introgression of resistance in grapevine are currently undertaken in breeding programs. For example, introgression of several resistance genes (R) from different sources for making it more durable and also strengthening t...

Grapevine powdery mildew is one of the most damaging fungal diseases. Therefore, a precise understanding of the grapevine disease resistance system becomes a subject of significant importance. Plant microRNAs(miRNAs) have been implicated to play regulatory roles in plant biotic stress responses. In this study, high-throughput sequencing and miRDeep-P were employed to identify miRNAs in Chinese ...

Plant resistance proteins mediate pathogen recognition and activate innate immune responses to restrict pathogen proliferation. One common feature of these proteins is an NB-ARC domain. In this study, we characterized a gene encoding a protein with an NB-ARC domain from wild Chinese grapevine Vitis pseudoreticulata accession "Baihe-35-1," which was identified in a transcriptome analysis of the ...

Foldscope is a paper microscope based on origami which easy to use and extremely portable. Paper doesn’t require any special laboratory facilities or high-cost chemicals. The present research study how foldscope can be used as an efficient tool for farmers get known about plant pathogens by seeing symptoms parts. For optical visibility of pathogen glass slides were along with small diseased par...

Disease resistance gene pyramiding is a widely used strategy to enhance durability. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) was applied pyramide the alleles Run1 and Ren3, which confer against grape powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator). Two F1 full-sibs carrying Ren3 in heterozygosity were selfed develop breeding populations analysis. From 637 genotyped plants, 313 (50.6%) had pyramided. Seven (1.1%) of t...
