Contrasting wood chemical traits are associated with differences in wood degradation and esca susceptibility among grapevine cultivars

The paper links wood chemical traits to esca susceptibility and wood degradation in grapevines, showing that susceptibility is more related to wood degradability and metabolic responses than microbial communities.

Intraspecific variation in functional strategies underlies susceptibility to a vascular disease in grapevine

The paper investigates how intraspecific variation in physiological strategies affects susceptibility to esca in grapevine cultivars, finding that conservative water use strategies reduce susceptibility while metabolic responses vary with disease symptoms.

Fungal pathogen activity and stress-dependent responses of grapevine wood to esca and drought

The paper investigates how drought and esca disease affect grapevine wood interactions with fungi, finding shared stress responses and distinct fungal adaptations under each condition.

Differential impacts of drought and esca expression on Ascomycota fungi in the trunks and young organs of mature grapevines

This study examines how drought and esca disease affect Ascomycota fungal communities in grapevines, finding distinct impacts on trunk and young organs.

Nitrogen nutrition impacts grapevine esca leaf symptom incidence, physiology and metabolism

This study shows that nitrogen nutrition levels affect esca disease incidence in grapevines by altering physiology, metabolism, and transpiration, with deficiency reducing disease and excess increasing it.
