The distribution and diversity of grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) and wild Vitis virus 1 (WVV1) (genus Grablovirus; family Geminiviridae) were determined in free-living Vitis spp. in northern California and New York from 2013 to 2017. Grabloviruses were detected by polymerase chain reaction in 28% (57 of 203) of samples from California but in none of the 163 samples from New York. The incidence of GRBV in free-living vines was significantly higher in samples from California counties with high compared with low grape production (χ = 83.09; P < 0.001), and in samples near (<5 km) to compared with far (>5 km) from vineyards (χ = 57.58; P < 0.001). These results suggested a directional spread of GRBV inoculum predominantly from vineyards to free-living Vitis spp. WVV1 incidence was also significantly higher in areas with higher grape production acreage (χ = 16.02; P < 0.001). However, in contrast to GRBV, no differential distribution of WVV1 incidence was observed with regard to distance from vineyards (χ = 0.88; P = 0.3513). Two distinct phylogenetic clades were identified for both GRBV and WVV1 isolates from free-living Vitis spp., although the nucleotide sequence variability of the genomic diversity fragment was higher for WWV1 (94.3 to 99.8% sequence identity within clade 1 isolates and 90.1 to 100% within clade 2 isolates) than GRBV (98.3% between clade 1 isolates and 96.9 to 100% within clade 2 isolates). Additionally, evidence for intraspecific recombination events was found in WVV1 isolates and confirmed in GRBV isolates. The prevalence of grabloviruses in California free-living vines highlights the need for vigilance regarding potential grablovirus inoculum sources in order to protect new vineyard plantings and foundation stock vineyards in California.

Scope: Four weeks' of concentrated grape powder (GP) consumption reduces circulating cholesterol in healthy free-living subjects consuming a low-fiber/low-polyphenol diet. Here, the study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms for cholesterol reduction by evaluating biomarkers of cholesterol de novo biosynthesis, intestinal absorption, miRNA involved in transcriptional regulation of cholesterol metabolism, as well as cholesterol oxidation.
Methods And Results: Fasting plasma samples collected from 19 healthy free-living subjects at baseline and week 4 of GP consumption are used in this study.

Over the years, a substantial body of information has accumulated suggesting dietary consumption of grapes may have a positive influence on human health. Here, we investigate the potential of grapes to modulate the human microbiome. Microbiome composition as well as urinary and plasma metabolites were sequentially assessed in 29 healthy free-living male (age 24-55 years) and female subjects (age 29-53 years) following two-weeks of a restricted diet (Day 15), two-weeks of a restricted diet with grape consumption (equivalent to three servings per day) (Day 30), and four-weeks of restricted diet without grape consumption (Day 60).

Grapevine red blotch disease emerged within the past decade, disrupting North American vine stock production and vineyard profitability. Our understanding of how grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV), the causal agent of the disease, interacts with its hosts and insect vector, , is limited. Here, we studied the capabilities of to transmit GRBV from and to free-living vines, identified as first-generation hybrids of and 'Sauvignon blanc' (Vcal hybrids), and to and from 'Cabernet franc' (Vvin Cf) vines.
