Rhizosphere bacteria associated with two grapevine rootstocks that vary in susceptibility to Cylindrocarpon black foot disease
Abstract
Cylindrocarpon black foot is a major disease of grapevines
worldwide. Grapevine rootstocks have been shown to vary
in their susceptibility to C. destructans, with Riparia Gloire
(RG) having low susceptibility and 101-14 moderate to
high susceptibility (1). The population and functionality of
rhizosphere bacteria associated with these two rootstock
varieties was assessed to determine whether the rootstocks
differentially select bacterial populations with the potential
to suppress the pathogen.
