Article Synopsis
- Studies over the past ten years indicate that biostimulants can enhance grape and wine quality by affecting the metabolism of grape berries.
- This research specifically focused on how two biostimulants—abscisic acid and chitosan—impact phenolic compounds in the Savvatiano grapevine at different growth stages.
- Results demonstrated that both treatments increased anthocyanin and stilbenoid levels and positively influenced the expression of related biosynthesis genes, suggesting that these biostimulants could improve grape quality and defense mechanisms.
In the last two decades grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) have emerged as the most significant threat for grapevine sustainability worldwide. The tracheomycotic fungus (Pch) is the predominant GTD-associated species and cannot be controlled with available chemicals. In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of two microbial strains ( K165 and F2) against Pch in grapevine.
