Grapevine is highly susceptible to a range of different fungal pathogens, including powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator), which can cause severe reductions in yield and quality. As part of multifaceted approach to improve the genetic resistance of grapevine to powdery mildew, we are investigating the g...
