Now officially out in @FEMSmicro! Our review proposes a shift from pathogen-centered models to a pathobiome paradigm to explain grapevine esca 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/femsec… @aleseichmeier #Esca #Microbiome #Viticulture #pathobiome #dysbiosis #holobiome #GTD

For decades we tried to explain #esca with Koch’s postulates. What if that framework is simply not enough? Our new review in @FEMSmicro proposes esca as a stress-mediated pathobiome disorder of the #grapevine holobiont doi.org/10.1093/femsec… #microbiome

During an investigation of Alternaria species in Algeria, two new-to-science species were isolated from date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.). Find out more about them here: doi.org/10.3897/mycoke… #phylogeny #taxonomy #fungi @aleseichmeier @MENDELUcz @UnivAveiro

Our current paper on mycorrhiza and its role in Czech vineyards is out!

Invitation: Meeting of the IOBC-WPRS WG “Integrated Protection in Viticulture”, 13.-15.10.2025, Mikulov, Czech Republic. Plan your participation! iobc-wprs.org/meeting/iobc-w… #BioControl #IntegratedPestManagement #PlantHealth #viticulture

Our paper by @catte_m_leal is published in the First Look section of @PhytobiomesJ 🍄Drought influences the fungal community structure, diversity, and functionality inhabiting the #grapevine #xylem and enhances the abundance of #Phaeomoniella chlamydospora apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PB…

🍇Exciting Update on Grapevine Health! 🌿Our latest study dives into the effects of BCAs #Trichoderma atroviride SC1 & #Bacillus subtilis PTA-271 on #grapevine #rhizosphere. Key takeaway: Soil properties critically influence the success of these BCAs in vineyards @catte_m_leal

"First look" on Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions @MPMIjournal at our comparative study of the pangenomes of trunk pathogens apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/MP…

Zemřel Karel Schwarzenberg….Bylo mi jasné, že se to blíží, ale stejně je to úder. Byl to jeden z nejdůležitějších a nejlaskavějších lidí v mém životě. Ať odpočívá v pokoji, Česká republika by mu měla být navždy vděčná za vše, co pro ni nezištně vykonal.

Our paper by @catte_m_leal is published in the First Look section of Phytobiomes Journal 😊 Biocontrol agents establishment and their impact on rhizosphere microbiome and induced grapevine defenses is highly soil-dependent #Trichoderma #Bacillus #BCA apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PB…

Postdoc position available! We seek a motivated postdoc to join the @HoliSoils (holisoils.eu) and @globalfungi teams in Prague. The person will study the response of soil microbiome to forest management, disturbance and global change. More: mbucas.cz/wp-content/upl…

Our next paper, in collaboration with @DepartmentofCh1, is now published! Delighted about this partnership! Smart bactericide based on reduced graphene oxide decorated with copper and zinc nanoparticles chembioagro.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

Very happy about this!!! IMA genome-F18 Draft genome assembly of Trichoderma atroviride SC1, the biocontrol agent of grapevine pathogens Ales Eichmeier*, Eliska Hakalova, Jakub Pecenka, Milan Spetik, Catarina Leal, David Gramaje* #IMAfungus

In this recently published collaborative article in IMA Fungus, we have sequenced the genome of Trichoderma atroviride SC1, a BCA against trunk disease fungi, particularly in #grapevines. #trichoderma #fungalgenome #GTD #esca #biocontrol rdcu.be/dnXYq

Such a nice group! #IOBC meeting of the Working Group Integrated Protection in Viticulture @IOBC_WPRS #viticulture

Fantastic opening conference at the #IOBC meeting WG Integrated Protection in #Viticulture by @cel_delmas about #grapevine vulnerability to #drought and #pathogens in the context of #ClimateChange @IOBC_WPRS Logroño 🇪🇸 3-5 October

@globalfungi welcomes their sister database of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi - globalamfungi.com - open for community input or as a FAIR research resource. Missed by fungal barcoding methods or due to low abundance, specific barcoding markers have to be used for AM fungi.
