Now officially out in @FEMSmicro!
Our review proposes a shift from pathogen-centered models to a pathobiome paradigm to explain grapevine esca

For decades we tried to explain #esca with Koch’s postulates. What if that framework is simply not enough?
Our new review in @FEMSmicro proposes esca as a stress-mediated pathobiome disorder of the #grapevine holobiont doi.org/10.1093/femsec/fiag0… #microbiome
Do you know which loci are truly informative for identifying trunk disease fungi? New study reveals why ITS is often not enough and highlights key markers for accurate pathogen ID in grapevine & woody crops. 🔗 doi.org/10.36253/phyto-16857

Very happy to participate in the 1st International Workshop of Fruit Trees Wood diseases, sharing my experience on managing trunk diseases in #grapevines #chile #chillan #1IWFTWD #GTD
We are thrilled to welcome Katie Ashley from the University of Maine, USA, to our lab! She will spend the next 9 months with us, thanks to a #Fulbright scholarship, working on #grapevine trunk diseases. Excited for an amazing collaboration! @FulbrightSpain @FulbrightPrgrm #GTD
Our paper by @catte_m_leal is published in the First Look section of @PhytobiomesJ 🍄Drought influences the fungal community structure, diversity, and functionality inhabiting the #grapevine #xylem and enhances the abundance of #Phaeomoniella chlamydospora

🍇Exciting Update on Grapevine Health! 🌿Our latest study dives into the effects of BCAs #Trichoderma atroviride SC1 & #Bacillus subtilis PTA-271 on #grapevine #rhizosphere. Key takeaway: Soil properties critically influence the success of these BCAs in vineyards @catte_m_leal
NEW RELEASE! 📚🍇🍄 Our chapter on advanced #grapevine protection strategies reduces #pesticide use and explores #sustainable alternatives for managing fungal and oomycete diseases in nurseries and vineyards. Access our publication here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ix4r…

Our preprint is out! Our 3-yr study tackles #GTDs in wine regions using physical, chemical & biological methods. Key finding: #Trichoderma atroviride I-1237 excels in combating Bot dieback @catte_m_leal @Vqualitas_es biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Our preprint is out! We explored water availability's effect on grapevine health & #esca pathogen P. chlamydospora. Findings: #WaterStress significantly changes the xylem fungal community, decreasing diversity & favoring the pathogen 🍇💧🍄 @catte_m_leal biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
🌱 Exciting news! We've kicked off our trials for the innovative European project VITRES - VITiculture RESilient in the POCTEFA territory! Stay tuned for updates on our journey towards resilient viticulture! 🍇 #VITRES #POCTEFA #Viticulture #Innovation
