A sensitive chemiluminescence method for quantification of the oxidative burst in grapevine cells and rice roots.

Roots are prominent plant-microbe interaction sites and of great biological relevance for many studies. The root response is of interest when searching for potential systemic resistance inducers. Screening of elicitors often focuses on the oxidative burst, the rapid and transient production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).

Responses to Drought Stress Modulate the Susceptibility to in Self-Rooted Cuttings.

Climate change will increase the occurrence of plants being simultaneously subjected to drought and pathogen stress. Drought can alter the way in which plants respond to pathogens. This research addresses how grapevine responds to the concurrent challenge of drought stress and , the causal agent of downy mildew, and how one stress affects the other.
