: a new species from vineyard ecosystem with biocontrol abilities against grapevine trunk disease pathogens and ecological adaptation.

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.

Analysis of substrate specificity of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases involved in trichothecene toxin biosynthesis.

Trichothecenes are a structurally diverse family of toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain species of multiple fungal genera. All trichothecene analogs share a core 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene (EPT) structure but differ in presence, absence and types of substituents attached to various positions of EPT. Formation of some of the structural diversity begins early in the biosynthetic pathway such that some producing species have few trichothecene biosynthetic intermediates in common.

Full-field strain mapping of healthy and pathological mouse aortas using stereo digital image correlation.

The murine aorta is a complex, heterogeneous structure that undergoes large and sometimes asymmetrical deformations under loading. For analytical convenience, mechanical behavior is predominantly described using global quantities that fail to capture critical local information essential to elucidating aortopathic processes. Here, in our methodological study, we used stereo digital image correlation (StereoDIC) to measure the strain profiles of speckle-patterned healthy and elastase-infused, pathological mouse aortas submerged in a temperature-controlled liquid medium.

Vineyard Management and Physicochemical Parameters of Soil Affect Native Populations, Sources of Biocontrol Agents against .

Native strains of in vineyard soil represent an opportunity for reducing the incidence of grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) in vineyards. Moreover, its relationship with the environment (physicochemical soil characteristics and farming management practices) remains unclear. In the current study, a survey was carried out on farming management used by viticulturists, and soil samples were studied to analyze their physicochemical properties and to isolate strains.
