Grapevine wood ITS metabarcoding
The project aimed to study the effect  of nitrogen fertilization and esca expression on grapevine wood fungal communities. We collected healthy (non-necrotic) wood from mature 30-y-old Vitis vinifera cv. Sauvignon blanc plants. We realized fungal ITS1 amplification (ITS1F-ITS2 primers) and Illumina MiSeq sequencing.  All the methods and results are presented in the following publication: Dell'Acqua N., Gambetta G.A., Comont G., Ferrer N.,  Rochepeau A., Petriacq P., Delmas CEL. Nitrogen nutrition impacts grapevine esca leaf symptom incidence, physiology and metabolism. preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.31.610625v1 Contact: Chloé Delmas (INRAE)
