Metagenomic Study of Fungal Microbial Communities in Two PDO Somontano Vineyards (Huesca, Spain): Effects of Age, Plant Genotype, and Initial Phytosanitary Status on the Priming and Selection of their Associated Microorganisms.

The study of microbial communities associated with different plants of agronomic interest has allowed, in recent years, to answer a number of questions related to the role and influence of certain microbes in key aspects of their autoecology, such as improving the adaptability of the plant host to different abiotic or biotic stresses. In this study, we present the results of the characterization, through both high-throughput sequencing and classical microbiological methods, of the fungal microbial communities associated with grapevine plants in two vineyards of different ages and plant genotypes located in the same biogeographical unit. The study is configured as an approximation to the empirical demonstration of the concept of "microbial priming" by analyzing the alpha- and beta-diversity present in plants from two plots subjected to the same bioclimatic regime to detect differences in the structure and taxonomic composition of the populations.

Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of a Halophyte from the Asturian Coast (Spain): (G.E.Sm.) C.E.Salmon.

The work presented herein deals with the characterization and valorization of a halophyte from the cliffs of the Asturian coast: (G.E.Sm.

Activity of Anthracenediones and Flavoring Phenols in Hydromethanolic Extracts of against Grapevine Phytopathogenic Fungi.

In this work, the chemical composition of root hydromethanolic extract was analyzed by GC-MS, and over 50 constituents were identified. The main phytochemicals were alizarin-related anthraquinones and flavoring phenol compounds. The antifungal activity of this extract, alone and in combination with chitosan oligomers (COS) or with stevioside, was evaluated against the pathogenic taxa and , responsible for the so-called Botryosphaeria dieback of grapevine.

Antifungal Activity against Fungi of the Hydro-Methanolic Extract of Capitula Conjugated with Stevioside.

(L.) Gaertn, viz. milk thistle, has been the focus of research efforts in the past few years, albeit almost exclusively restricted to the medicinal properties of its fruits (achenes).
