Article Synopsis
- Olivier 1795 is a beetle pest that damages grapevines in Spain by boring into the wood, leading to both direct harm and an increased risk of wood fungi infections.
- Research aimed to measure the extent of wood damage caused by the larvae and determine the wood's resistance using compression and flexural tests.
- Findings indicated that trunks have a higher effective section and stability compared to branches, suggesting that branches are more vulnerable to breaking when infested by the larvae; further studies are recommended across different grapevine varieties and attack periods.
strains used in vineyards for the control of grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) present a promising alternative to chemical products. Therefore, the isolation and characterization of new indigenous strains for these purposes is a valuable strategy to favor the adaptation of these strains to the environment, thus improving their efficacy in the field. In this research, a new species, , isolated from vineyards in Ribera de Duero (Spain) area, has been identified and phylogenetically analyzed using 20 housekeeping genes isolated from the genome of 24 species.
