Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grapevines (Vitis spp.) are not only one of the most important fruit crops cultivated in all continents (except Antarctica), but they also host many destructive pathogenic microbes belonging to an extremely wide range of biological taxa. Grape production involves a rigorous battle with fungal, oomycete, bacterial, phytoplasma or viral diseases. The scope of this Special Issue, on one hand, includes new discoveries in the biology, ecology, epidemiology, disease control, genetics, genomics and bioinformatics of grapevine–pathogen interactions. Studies describing new aspects of host-defense responses or microbial virulence strategies are also welcome. Results regarding the effects of beneficial microbes or microbiome studies of various grapevine tissues are also within the focus of this Special Issue. The routine screening of plant-protection products will not be published. Original research articles, review papers or short communications will be accepted.
