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. In addition, several other viruses and viroids, including grapevine virus G, grapevine virus K/D, grapevine virus T, grapevine Roditis leaf discoloration-associated virus, grapevine yellow speckle viroids 1 and 2, and hop stunt viroid were detected and identified for the first time in Croatian grapevines in the course of this study.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors serve as crucial regulators in plants' response to abiotic stress; however, its function in grapevine heat tolerance is still largely unknown. Here, we undertook a comprehensive investigation of grape genome, leading to the identification of 65 VvbZIP genes, among which 16 VvbZIPs were significantly induced under heat stress. Overexpression of VvbZIP36 enhanced heat tolerance in grape calli, while virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of VvbZIP36 reflected thermal sensitivity.

Grapevines are subjected to many physiological and environmental stresses that influence their vegetative and reproductive growth. Water stress, cold damage, and pathogen attacks are highly relevant stresses in many grape-growing regions. Precision viticulture can be used to determine and manage the spatial variation in grapevine health within a single vineyard block.

A novel plant virus was identified in fig trees exhibiting ring spot symptoms through high-throughput sequencing (HTS). The complete genome sequence was successfully determined using PCR and RT-PCR techniques. The virus features a circular DNA genome of 7233 nucleotides (nt) in length, encompassing four open reading frames (ORFs).

Among the cultivated crop species, the economically and culturally important grapevine plays host to the greatest number of distinctly characterized viruses. A critical component of the management and containment of these viral diseases in grapevine is both the identification of infected vines and the characterization of new pathogens. Next-generation high-throughput sequencing technologies, i.

Grapevine red blotch is an emerging disease that threatens vineyard productions in North America. Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV, species , genus , family ), the causal agent of red blotch disease, is transmitted by (Hemiptera: Membracidae) in a circulative, non-propagative mode. To gain new insight into GRBV- interactions, we delved into vertical transmission and documented a lack of transovarial transmission.
