Abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by soil‐borne microorganisms and play crucial roles in fungal interactions with plants phytopathogens. Although VOCs have been characterized Trichoderma spp., the mechanisms against phytopathogens strongly differ according to strain pathosystem. This study aimed at characterizing three strains used as biofungicides investigate their effects grapevine downy mildew (caused Plasmopara viticola ). A VOC‐mediated reduction of severity was...
The grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ) is one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops globally, and its important diseases in terms economic losses downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola . Several wild species have been found to be resistant this pathogen used breeding programs introduce resistance traits susceptible cultivars. Plant defense based on different mechanisms, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a major role response insects pathogens. Although mechanisms production secondary...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a crucial role in the communication of plants with other organisms and are possible mediators plant defence against phytopathogens. Although non-volatile secondary metabolites has been largely characterised resistant genotypes, contribution VOCs to grapevine mechanisms downy mildew (caused by Plasmopara viticola) not yet investigated. In this study, more than 50 from leaves were annotated/identified headspace-solid-phase microextraction gas...
The genus Lysobacter includes several bacterial species which show potential for being used in biological control of plant diseases. It was shown recently that type strains produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) controlled the growth Phytophthora infestans vitro when bacteria were grown on a protein rich medium. In present study, capsici AZ78 (AZ78) has been tested its to VOCs may contribute bioactivity against soilborne pathogens. To this end, split Petri dish assays cultures have...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by plants in response to biotic and abiotic stimuli. In grapevine, volatile terpenoids triggered downy mildew infection (caused Plasmopara viticola), suggesting their involvement plant defense responses. particular, linalool was detected leaves of mildew-resistant genotypes, but no information is available on its the mechanisms against P. viticola. The aim this study investigate activated grapevine viticola identify metabolic changes associated...
The leafhopper genus Arboridia includes several species that feed on Vitis vinifera and cause leaf chlorosis. We report the first alien infestation in Italy 2021 an Apulian vineyard. To confirm taxonomic status of responsible for crop damage, reconstruct its demographic history, we barcoded individuals from Apulia together with spp. Crete (Greece), A. adanae Central Turkey other specimens presumed sister species, dalmatina Dalmatia (Croatia). Molecular phylogenies barcoding gap analysis...
Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is an important process of fruit ripening, mediated by the pheophorbide a oxygenase/phyllobilin (PaO/PB) pathway. Chl catabolized to linear tetrapyrrolic phyllobilins that resemble bile pigments. Determining optimal harvest date pivotal importance for industry. Among physiological changes at onset ripening and during shelf life, breakdown appears as promising indicator maturity. In addition, PBs are frequently overlooked component human diet with antioxidant...
Tagatose is a rare sugar with no negative impacts on human health and selective inhibitory effects plant-associated microorganisms. inhibited mycelial growth negatively affected mitochondrial processes in Phytophthora infestans , but not cinnamomi . The aim of this study was to elucidate metabolic changes transcriptional reprogramming activated by P. response tagatose, order clarify the differential mechanisms tagatose species-specific reactions sugar. distinct growth, content amino acid...
Pinot blanc is a leading grapevine variety in South Tyrol (Italy) for wine production. The high quality of its wines derives from typical aroma elegant apple notes and lively acidity. typicity the final depends on origin vine, soil, oenological practices time harvest. Tyrolean mountainous areas meet cold climatic requirements blanc, which guarantee sweet-acidic harmony obtained when organic acids are balance with other components wine. However, increasing temperatures valley sites during...
In an era of growing international competition in modern viticulture, the study and implementation innovative technologies to increase production high-quality grapes wines are critical importance. this study, non-destructive portable sensor Multiplex, based on fluorescence sensing technique, was applied evaluate grape maturity parameters flavonol content understudied Pinot blanc variety. The effects environmental agronomical factors were investigated eight vineyards characterised by...
During senescence and ripening, higher plants degrade the green pigment chlorophyll to linear tetrapyrrols, referred as phyllobilins (PBs). This dataset provides chromatograms mass spectral data of PBs acquired from methanolic extracts cv. Gala apple peels at five different shelf life (SL) stages. Data were obtained using a (ultra-high) pressure liquid chromatograph (UHPLC) coupled high resolution quadrupole-time flight-mass spectrometer (HRMS-Q-TOF). A data-dependent inclusion list (IL) ex...
