“…Esca complex disease (ESCA) is another GTD that attacks the perennial organs of grapevines, leading to tiger-stripe symptoms on leaves, apoplexy of shoots [ 2 , 3 ], and extensive wood necrosis (white rot, brown streaking, and other types of dark necrotic spots) on the trunk and cordons [ 26 ] colonized by fungi, such as Phaeomoniella chlamydospora [ 5 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], Phaeoacremonium minimum [ 5 , 30 ], Fomitiporia mediterranea [ 31 , 32 ], Botryosphaeriaceae species, and other fungal taxa [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Protection against GTDs relies mainly on prophylactic measures, remedial surgery [ 26 , 39 ], and the application of biological agents [ 8 , 31 ] or mixtures of fertilizers [ 40 , 41 ] to reduce symptom incidence and severity; these control strategies often offer only partial protection. One of the main concerns in agriculture today is the reduction of pesticide use [ 29 , 31 , 42 , 43 ].…”
