Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is a reservoir of fungal endophytes that may affect its growth, health
status and grape production. Although there is growing interest in comparing fungal …

We studied the distribution of fungal endophytes of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) plants in a
subalpine area of northern Italy, where viticulture is of high economic relevance. We …

Wine grape berries (Vitis spp.) harbor a wide variety of yeasts and filamentous fungi that
impact grapevine health and the winemaking process. Identification of these fungi could be …

Microbial ecology and activity in wine production influences grapevine health and
productivity, conversion of sugar to ethanol during fermentation, wine aroma, wine quality …

Plant compartments provide unique niches that lead to specific microbial associations. The
microbiota colonizing the endophytic compartment (endorhizosphere) and the rhizosphere …

Purpose The composition of endophytic communities has been shown to depend on grape
genotypes and viticultural managements in leaves, stems, and berries of grape, but there …

Introduction The composition of the grapevine microbiome is controlled by a range of factors
all contributing to the establishment of microbial terroir. Most studies have focused on the …

Grapevines (Vitis vinifera) are colonized by ubiquitous microorganisms known as
endophytes, which may have advantageous or neutral effects without causing disease …

In this study we investigate bacterial communities in association with an enriched black-
fungal community in the plant phyllosphere to test whether these fungi create an …

Endophytic fungi play an important role in the life of grapevine, either as beneficial
microorganisms or as pathogens. Many surveys concerning the fungal grapevine community …
