Armillaria melleaInduces a Set of Defense Genes in Grapevine Roots and One of Them Codifies a Protein with Antifungal Activity
1 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Grapevine root rot, caused by Armillaria mellea, is a serious disease in some grape-growing regions. Young grapevines start to show symptoms of Armillaria root rot from the second year after inoculation, suggesting a certain degree of resistance in young roots. We used a suppression subtractive hybridization approach to study grapevine's reactions to the first stages of A. mellea infection. We identified 24 genes...
