Article Synopsis
  • Grapevines are vulnerable to various fungal pathogens, particularly Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Phaeoacremonium aleophilum, which cause tracheomycosis.
  • A new DNA extraction procedure for grapevine woody tissue has been developed and found effective for quantitative analysis.
  • The study highlights a high contamination rate of these fungi in nursery young vines, suggesting they are significant soil-borne pathogens that impact plant health.

SUMMARY The hxc1 mutant was identified by screening an EMS (ethylmethane sulphonate) mutagenized population of Arabidopsis Col-0 plants for an altered hypersensitive response (HR), after spray inoculation with an HR-inducing isolate of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) (strain 147). The hxc1 mutant shows a susceptible phenotype several days after initiation of the interaction with the avirulent strain.

A chemical mutagenized population of Arabidopsis Col-0-gl plants was screened for an altered hypersensitive response (HR) after spray inoculation with an HR-inducing isolate of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (strain 147). Three classes of mutant were identified: those exhibiting an HR- phenotype or partial loss of HR; hyper-responsive mutants showing necrotic lesions rapidly leading to the collapse of leaves; and susceptible mutants.
