VASCM: Webinar on May 7th "Grapevine Leafroll vs. Red Blotch" with Judit Monis, Eurofins STA Labs

[Mary Lindsay, Muns Vineyard]

Judit Monis of Eurofins STA Labs is conducting a webinar on

"Grapevine Leafroll vs. Red Blotch: compare and contrast"

Wednesday, May 7, 11:00am
*
*This webinar will compare and contrast the most updated information on 
red blotch and leafroll disease diagnostics, transmission, and control. 
Red Blotch has been seen throughout the state, affecting many winegrape 
varieties, but little is known about how it spreads.
**
Grapevine red blotch associated virus (GRBaV) was shown to be associated 
with red, blotchy leaves, and reduced sugar content in red fruited grape 
varieties. So far it does not appear that the virus affects grape 
production yields. Although the molecular structure of the viruses 
associated with grapevine red blotch and leafroll (GLRaV) are strikingly 
different, the symptoms developed in the vineyard can usually be 
confused.  Due to the novel character, information on the biology and 
epidemiology of GRBaV is limited.  In contrast, the detection, 
epidemiology, and control of leafroll associated viruses have been well 
documented.  To fill this gap, our lab has on-going collaboration with 
academic experts working on elucidating and characterizing the genetics 
and biology of GRBaV.  Based on the research in progress we expect that 
soon we will be able to make inferences on GRBaV expected epidemiology 
and biology.

/Note: Dr. Monis presented to the VASCM //a few years ago and we hope to 
have her back this summer to talk about disease issues. In the mean 
time, this webinar is a good opportunity.
