The complete nucleotide sequence and genome organization of a new Badnavirus isolated from the autochthonous grapevine variety "Bombino nero" from Apulia (Italy) was determined. The genome of this virus consists of 7097 nt and has four open reading frames (ORFs). Analysis of putative proteins encoded by each ORF revealed greatest sequence similarity to Grapevine Roditis leaf discoloration-associated virus w4 (GRLDaV; NC_027131). In a pairwise alignment with GLRDaV w4 genome sequence, the "Bombino Nero" sequence was 109 nt longer with a major 57 nt insertion between positions 2405 and 2413. Furthermore, its putative ORF4 is located after the ORF3, while in the GLRDaV w4 sequence, the putative ORF4 completely overlapped ORF3. Nucleotide analysis classifies this new Badnavirus as a GLRDaV strain, which was named GRLDaV-BN. Multi-year field observations showed that the GLRDaV-BN-infected vine was symptomless.

The grapevine and vinification microbiota have a strong influence on the characteristics of the produced wine. Currently we have a good understanding of the role of vineyard-associated factors, like cultivar, vintage and terroir in shaping the grapevine microbiota. Notwithstanding, their endurance along the vinification process remains unknown.

Enhancing Yield and Physiological Performance by Foliar Applications of Chemically Inert Mineral Particles in a Rainfed Vineyard under Mediterranean Conditions.

Plants (Basel)

Laboratory of Viticulture, Department of Agriculture, Crop Production and Rural Environment, University of Thessaly, Fytokou Street, 38446 Volos, Greece.

One of the biggest environmental challenges that most of the traditional and modern grape-growing areas are facing is the frequency, severity, and unpredictability of extreme weather events as a result of climate change. Sustainable tools such as chemically inert mineral particles could be a valid alternative for the promotion of environmentally-friendly viticultural techniques to enhance yield, improve physiological processes, and increase tolerance to biotic/abiotic stressors and grape quality. In regard to this concept, the effects of kaolin (KL) and zeolite (ZL) application was tested in the rosé grapevine cultivar Roditis, field-and rainfed, under the Mediterranean conditions of central Greece.

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) was used to construct the virome profile of an old grapevine-leafroll-diseased grapevine (Vitis vinifera). De novo assembly of HTS data showed a complex infection, including a virus sequence with similarity to viruses of the genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae. The complete genome sequence of this virus consists of 7090 nucleotides and has four open reading frames (ORFs).

Grapevine Roditis leaf discoloration-associated virus (GRLDaV) is an emerging grapevine pathogen included in the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) alert list due to its ability to damage grapevine crops and cause production losses. This work aimed to develop a specific and reliable diagnostic tool that would contribute to preventing the spread of this pathogen. Therefore, a TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR was developed.

Next-generation sequencing of total RNA samples from four Croatian autochthonous grapevine varieties revealed the presence of a novel virus in two grapevine accessions. The complete genome sequence of a novel virus, tentatively named "grapevine badnavirus 1" (GBV-1), was reconstructed from a de novo-assembled contig. GBV-1 has a genome of 7,145 nucleotides containing three ORFs with sequence similarity to other badnaviruses.
