Abstract
Trichoderma strains used in vineyards for the control of grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) present a promising alternative to chemical products. Therefore, the isolation and characterization of new indigenous Trichoderma strains for these purposes is a valuable strategy to favor the adaptation of these strains to the environment, thus improving their efficacy in the field. In this research, a new Trichoderma species, Trichoderma carraovejensis, isolated from vineyards in Ribera de Duero (Spain) area, has been identified and phylogenetically analyzed using 20 housekeeping genes isolated from the genome of 24 Trichoderma species. A morphological description and comparison of the new species has also been carried out. In order to corroborate the potential of T. carraovejensis as a biological control agent (BCA), confrontation tests against pathogenic fungi, causing various GTDs, have been performed in the laboratory. The compatibility of T. carraovejensis with different pesticides and biostimulants has also been assessed. This new Trichoderma species demonstrates the ability to control pathogens such as Diplodia seriata, as well as high compatibility with powdered sulfur-based pesticides. In conclusion, the autochthonous species T. carraovejensis can be an effective alternative to complement the currently used strategies for the control of wood diseases in its region of origin.

PLANT DISEASE 2023; 107:3708-3717.

Abstract
Young vine decline (YVD), caused by several taxonomically different fungi, results in the decline and death of grapevines within a few years after planting. Infection can occur in nursery mother blocks and/or at several stages in the nursery propagation process, but the final plant material may remain asymptomatic. Four nurseries that sell ready-to-plant grapevines in Canada were sampled to evaluate the health status with regard to YVD fungi, including Botryosphaeriaceae spp., Cadophora luteo-olivacea, Dactylonectria macrodidyma, Dactylonectria torresensis, Phaeoacremonium minimum, and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora. Plants representing three cultivars, 'Chardonnay', 'Merlot', and 'Pinot noir', either grafted onto '3309C' rootstock or self-rooted, were provided by the nurseries. Samples from the roots, base of the rootstock or self-rooted cultivar, graft-union, and scion were collected from each plant. DNA was extracted, and the total abundance of each fungus was quantified using Droplet Digital PCR. Results revealed that 99% of plants harbored at least one of the fungi studied, with a mean of three different fungal species that were present per grapevine. Droplet Digital PCR results showed that the abundance of the different fungi significantly varied between different sections of each plant, individual plants for each cultivar, and cultivars from the same nursery. Necrosis measurements were recorded from the base of the rootstock or self-rooted cultivars and did not correlate with fungal abundance recorded in that section for each grapevine, but necrosis was consistent across cultivars within nurseries. Five different rootstocks were compared from one nursery, and results showed no differences between rootstocks and their health status. Among all nurseries, C. luteo-olivacea was the most prevalent fungus (97% of the plants), while D. macrodidyma was the least commonly found (13% of the plants). This study shows that ready-to-plant nursery material sold in Canada is likely to be infected with several YVD fungi and that presence and abundance of fungi vary significantly among individual grapevines and nurseries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are a complex group of diseases that lead to major economic losses in all wine-producing countries. The investigation of biocontrol agents (BCAs) capable of forestalling or at least minimizing the development of GTDs has, recently, become a priority. Nursery experiments were set up to (i) assess the biocontrol effect of Trichoderma atroviride (Ta) SC1 and Bacillus subtilis (Bs) PTA-271, alone and in simultaneous application, against Botryosphaeria dieback (BOT)- and black-foot (BF)- associated pathogens during the grapevine propagation process and (ii) evaluate the success of the BCA inoculation during the grapevine propagation process, using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction techniques. RESULTS The results demonstrated a significant reduction in the percentage of potentially infected plants and the percentage of fungal isolation from wood fragments of BOT and BF pathogens in nursery material treated with Ta SC1 and Bs PTA-271, respectively. In one of the experiments, simultaneous treatments with Bs PTA-271 and Ta SC1 caused a reduction in percentages of potentially infected plants and fungal isolation, from wood fragments containing BOT and BF pathogens. CONCLUSION These biological treatments may be relevant components of an integrated approach, using complementary management strategies to limit infection by GTD pathogens, but further research is still needed to elucidate the effectiveness of Bs PTA-271 and the benefits of simultaneous application with Ta SC1 for the control of GTD pathogens in nurseries. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

The Biocontrol Potential of Endophytic Trichoderma Fungi Isolated from Hungarian Grapevines, Part II, Grapevine Stimulation. Pathogens 2022; 12:pathogens12010002. [PMID: 36678350 PMCID: PMC9863551 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens12010002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
In the first part of this two-piece publication, the isolation, identification and in vitro characterization of ten endophytic Trichoderma isolates were reported. Here we report the ability of two different mixes of some of these isolates (Trichoderma simmonsii, Trichoderma orientale and Trichoderma gamsii as well as of Trichoderma afroharzianum and T. simmonsii) to colonize and stimulate the growth of grapevines. Two commercial vineyards about 400 km away from the site of isolation were used as experimental fields, from which the strains of three Trichoderma species were re-isolated up to four years after rootstock soaking treatment with conidiospores, performed before planting. The treatments decreased the overall percentage of lost plants of about 30%, although a low number of lost plants (about 5%) were observed also in the control plot. For all cultivars and clones, the Trichoderma treatments significantly increased both the bud burst ratio and bud burst vigor index. In addition, the grape must parameters such as the Brix degrees, as well as the extract, the D-glucose and the D-fructose concentrations all appeared to be improved, suggesting a potentially higher ethanol content of the produced wine. We conclude that grapevine-endophytic Trichoderma isolates promote plant growth, which could be a useful feature for sustainable agriculture in general and integrated plant production in particular.

Abstract
Soil microbiota has increasingly been shown to play an integral role in viticulture resilience. The emergence of new metagenomic and culturomic technologies has led to significant advances in the study of microbial biodiversity. In the agricultural sector, soil and plant microbiomes have been found to significantly improve resistance to environmental stressors and diseases, as well as influencing crop yields and fruit quality thus improving sustainability under shifting environments. Grapevines are usually cultivated as a scion grafted on rootstocks, which are selected according to pedoclimatic conditions and cultural practices, known as terroir. The rootstock connects the surrounding soil to the vine's aerial part and impacts scion growth and berry quality. Understanding rootstock and soil microbiome dynamics is a relevant and important field of study, which may be critical to improve viticulture sustainability and resilience. This review aims to highlight the relationship between grapevine roots and telluric microbiota diversity and activity. In addition, this review explores the concept of core microbiome regarding potential applications of soil microbiome engineering with the goal of enhancing grapevine adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress.

Abstract
Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associate with most plants and can increase nutrient uptake. As a result, commercial inoculants called “biofertilizers” containing AM fungi have been developed and marketed to increase plant performance. However, successful establishment of these inoculants remains a challenge, and may be negatively impacted by competition with fungi already present (priority effects). Perennial agriculture may be more amenable if inoculants can be successfully established on crops prior to field planting. Methods Here, we inoculate grapevine (Vitis vinifera) with a commercial inoculant in three treatments designed to manipulate the strength and direction of priority effects and quantified the abundance of the fungal strain before and after introduction using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). Results We found that the introduced strain did not establish in any treatment, even with priority advantage, and inoculated vines did not differ in performance from non-inoculated vines. Fungal abundance was not greater than in pre-inoculation soil samples during any of the five years sampled and may have been impaired by high available phosphorus levels in the soil. This study highlights the need to understand and evaluate how the management of the agricultural system will affect establishment before introduction of “biofertilizers”, which is often unpredictable.
