Abstract: Provided herein are Vitis vinifera exhibiting Erysiphe necator resistance. In particular, provided herein are Vitis vinifera having in their genome mildew resistance locus O (MLO) genes, in particular and MLO6 gene and an MLO11 gene, where the MLO6 gene and MLO11 gene have reduced expression and/or function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant sRNA extract for use as an immunosuppressive agent and to plant miRNA for use as an immunosuppressive agent.

Abstract: Provided herein are Podosphaera leucotricha resistance conferring genes, plants, plant parts and seeds comprising the present resistance providing genes and the use thereof for selecting Podosphaera leucotricha resistant plants. Specifically, the present invention relates to Podosphaera leucotricha resistance conferring genes, wherein the amino acid sequence encoded by said resistance conferring genes is the primary amino acid sequence represented SEQ ID No. 1, or a primary amino acid sequence with more than 70% identity, preferably more than 80% identity, more preferably more than 90% identity, and most preferably more than 95% identity with SEQ ID No. 1; and wherein said resistance conferring gene is impaired.

Abstract: Provided herein are Vitis vinifera exhibiting Erysiphe necator resistance. In particular, provided herein are Vitis vinifera having in their genome mildew resistance locus O (MLO) genes, in particular an MLO7 gene and an MLO6 gene, where the MLO7 gene and MLO6 gene have reduced expression and/or function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant sRNA extract for use as an immunosuppressive agent and to plant miRNA for use as an immunosuppressive agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel bacterial strain belonging to Lysobacter capsici species, Lysobacter capsici AZ78, bacteria of said bacterial strain, and bacterial preparations related thereto, as well as to uses of the above for preparing a plant protection product—as well as to plant protection products comprising any of the above as well as to further related uses and methods.

Abstract: A pruning system (1; 20) for planting rows (F) includes a frame (2) suited to support a pruning assembly (3; 30). The pruning assembly (3; 30) includes a first pruning assembly (3) in which it is possible to identify a plurality of cutting units (4) that are independent of and spaced from one another, the cutting units (4) being mechanically associated with the frame (2) through a plurality of first supporting rods (6) suited to allow the movement of the cutting units (4) according to an orthogonal direction with respect to the alignment direction of the planting rows (F). The supporting frame (2) can be associated with structure (7) for moving the frame (2) and the pruning assembly (3; 30) that are suited to make the pruning assembly (3; 30) assume different operating positions according to a parallel direction with respect to the alignment direction of the planting rows (F).

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety named “IASMA ECO 2” which is characterized by producing red berries which are rounder, less sensitive to Botrytis cinerea and with a higher tannin content with respect to the two parents.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety named “IASMA ECO 1” which is characterized by producing red oval berries in a loose bunch, which is much less sensitive to Botrytis cinerea.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety named “IASMA ECO 3” which is characterized by producing white berries which mature 1 week earlier than the parents, and is much less sensitive to Botrytis cinerea compared to the parents. The present variety berries exhibit a loose bunch and have the presence of both geraniol and linalool.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a Trichoderma atroviride SC1, CBS no 122089, as a biocontrol agent, i.e. to treat fungal diseases of plants. The second embodiment of the present invention is an agricultural composition comprising the Trichoderma atroviride SC1 as the active principle in an effective amount. The compositions of the present invention may further comprise a second biocontrol agent and/or an additive, an emulsifier, a plant nutrient, a wetting-agent, a plant micro-nutrient or a substratum, wherein said substratum is selected from the group consisting of: a nutrient culture medium, a cereal or a derivative thereof, an amendant, a vegetable or a part thereof, peat, wood or a piece thereof, clay or barks.
