Identification of Genes Involved in Resistance to Flavescence Dorée Disease of Grapevine: A Model Study Using Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholArabidopsis thaliana genes conferring resistance to flavescence dorée (FD) phytoplasma were identified, revealing vector‐independent defence mechanisms and providing potential targets for breeding FD‐resistant grapevine. ABSTRACT Flavescence dorée (FD), caused by FD phytoplasma (FDp) and transmitted by the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus, is a ...
