Given their well-known antifungal abilities, species of the genus are of significant interest in modern agriculture. Recent studies have shown that species can induce plant resistance against different phytopathogens. To further extend this line of investigation, we investigate herein the transcriptomic response of grapevine trunk to Vintec, which is a SC1-based commercial formulation for biological control of grapevine trunk diseases and which reduces wood colonization.
