Species from the Southwestern United States Vary in Their Susceptibility to Powdery Mildew.

The European grapevine ( L.) has been cultivated in North America for about 500 years. One of the major limitations to its culture is the powdery mildew (PM) fungus, Schw.

Modeling vegetative vigour in grapevine: unraveling underlying mechanisms.

Mechanistic modeling constitutes a powerful tool to unravel complex biological phenomena. This study describes the construction of a mechanistic, dynamic model for grapevine plant growth and canopy biomass (vigor). To parametrize and validate the model, the progeny from a cross of Ramsey () × Riparia Gloire () was evaluated.
