Plasmopara viticola is geographically widespread in grapevine-growing regions. Grapevine downy mildew disease, caused by this biotrophic pathogen, leads to considerable yield losses in viticulture annually. Because of the great significance of grapevine production and wine quality, research on this disease has been widely performed since its emergence in the 19th century. Here, we review and discuss recent understanding of this pathogen from multiple aspects, including its infection cycle, disease symptoms, genome decoding, effector biology, and management and control strategies. We highlight the identification and characterization of effector proteins with their biological roles in host-pathogen interaction, with a focus on sustainable control methods against P. viticola, especially the use of biocontrol agents and environmentally friendly compounds.

The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State Austria for the pesticide active substance lysate of C2c Maky and the considerations as regards the inclusion of the substance in Annex IV of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative use of lysate of C2c Maky as a fungicide against downy mildew () on grapevines and table grapes.

The hairiness of the leaves is an essential morphological feature within the genus Vitis that can serve as a physical barrier. A high leaf hair density present on the abaxial surface of the grapevine leaves influences their wettability by repelling forces, thus preventing pathogen attack such as downy mildew and anthracnose. Moreover, leaf hairs as a favorable habitat may considerably affect the abundance of biological control agents.

Grapevines ( L.) are one of the most economically relevant crops worldwide, yet they are highly vulnerable to various diseases, causing substantial economic losses for winegrowers. This systematic review evaluates the application of remote sensing and proximal tools for vineyard disease detection, addressing current capabilities, gaps, and future directions in sensor-based field monitoring of grapevine diseases.

Traditional assessments of grapevine susceptibility to grapevine downy mildew (GDM) caused by rely on the visual evaluation of leaf symptoms. In this study, we used a well-established quantitative real-time PCR TaqMan assay (real-time PCR) to quantify the number of infecting 12 grapevine cultivars under controlled conditions. The molecular disease index (MDI), derived from molecular detection methods, reflects the relative abundance of pathogens in plant tissues during the latent infection phase.

Background: Priming plants with natural products is extensively studied in the agricultural field to reduce the use of synthetic and copper-based pesticides. Previous studies have shown that Oregano essential oil vapour (OEOV) is an effective priming agent against downy mildew (DM) in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv.
