🍄 🍇 SPECIAL ISSUE RESEARCH 🍇 🍄 ✍️ Dell’Acqua et al. A deficit in nitrogen nutrition reduced esca leaf symptom expression in mature grapevines, probably through lower transpiration and higher secondary metabolism. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪

🍇 SPECIAL ISSUE RESEARCH 🍇 Resistant ‘Zinfandel’ and susceptible ‘Syrah’ Vitis vinifera cultivars exhibited opposing responses in gas exchange and leaf photosynthetic biochemistry to fungal pathogen (Eutypa lata ) infection 🍄🌿 ✍️ Sinclair et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪

Our last work on #drought x #grapevine x #phytopathology is online in Plant Physiology! We showed that the reduced canopy area in esca-symptomatic grapevine plants leads to lower canopy transpiration and mitigates water stress url: academic.oup.com/plphys/artic...

The reduced canopy area in esca-symptomatic grapevine plants leads to lower canopy transpiration and mitigates water stress

Esca disease mitigates acute water stress in grapevine.
