This volume provides a holistic overview of the advances in the use of biological control agents (BCAs) and plant resistance inducers to reduce various phytopathogenic infections of grapevine. The ecology, mechanisms involved in protection and application methods of these BCAs and inducers are...
This chapter reviews updates on the effects of secondary metabolites from plants and of environmental microorganisms on zoosporogenesis, zoospore motility and cystospore germination of P. viticola. The efficacies of plant and microbial extracts or pure secondary metabolites on the suppression of...
This chapter reports on and discusses information from the available literature about the biological control of some major grapevine (Vitis vinifera) diseases caused by fungi or oomycetes: (i) downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola; (ii) powdery mildew, caused by the fungus ...
This chapter presents a preliminary characterization of two bacterial strains (B29 and B27) isolated from the south of Tunisia and evaluate induced systemic resistance (ISR) as a mechanism of biological control of B. cinerea by these two bacterial strains. Additionally, molecular identification of...
The mycoparasite Ampelomyces quisqualis is the most studied biological control agent of powdery mildews. This chapter focuses on the identification and study of genetically different strains of A. quisqualis isolated from different fungal hosts and plants in order to verify whether there is...
This chapter presents experiments conducted to: (i) isolate and identify microorganisms that occur naturally on grapevine pruning wounds; and (ii) evaluate in vitro and in planta the ability of these microorganisms to prevent infection by grapevine canker pathogens, members of the...
Grapevine trunk diseases (GTD) such as Eutypa dieback, esca decline of vines and black dead arm, which are widely believed to be caused by multiple fungal pathogens acting in concert, although the causes may well be more complex, cause great damage to vineyards. Presently, the only anti-GTD product ...
