Plasmopara viticola (P. viticola, Berk. & MA Curtis; Berl. & De Toni) causing grapevine
downy mildew is one of the most damaging pathogens to viticulture worldwide. Since its …

Throughout evolution, plants have developed a highly complex defense system against
different threats, including phytopathogens. Plant defense depends on constitutive and …

Soil microbiota has increasingly been shown to play an integral role in viticulture resilience.
The emergence of new metagenomic and culturomic technologies has led to significant …

Immune responses in plants can be triggered by damage/microbe-associated molecular
patterns (DAMPs/MAMPs) upon recognition by plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) …

Several oligosaccharide fragments derived from plant cell walls activate plant immunity and
behave as typical damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Some of them also …

A plant cell wall is a highly complex structure consisting of networks of polysaccharides,
proteins, and polyphenols that dynamically change during growth and development in …

Rare sugars are monosaccharides with a limited availability in the nature and almost
unknown biological functions. The use of industrial enzymatic and microbial processes …

Cell wall integrity is tightly regulated and maintained given that non-physiological
modification of cell walls could render plants vulnerable to biotic and/or abiotic stresses …

Grapevines are challenged by a range of diseases and pests, causing economic losses and
requiring often costly approaches to mitigate damage. Public interest in reducing the use of …

Recognition by plant receptors of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and
pathogenicity effectors activates immunity. However, before evolving the capacity of …
