recently been described, invalidating previous interpretations on host and geographical …

Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are caused by cryptic complexes of fungal pathogens and
have become a growing problem for new grapevine (Vitis vinifera) plantations. We studied …

Diseases caused by Alternaria alternata and Botryosphaeria dothidea diminish pear yield
