Abstract

The infection of grapevine plants of cultivar Chardonnay with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’, the agent associated with grapevine “bois noir”, and the recovery from this disease were followed at the transcriptional level. The analysis showed that recovered plants behaved similar as healthy plants and revealed some, thus far unexplored, genes as important indicators of “bois noir” phytoplasma presence.
