Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Drought significantly decreased fungal diversity in healthy trunk wood compared with well-watered asymptomatic vines.
- Intervention effect Drought increased the abundance of wood pathogens in the trunk, including Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Botryosphaeria dothidea.
- Intervention effect Plants with esca symptoms had a smaller relative proportion of healthy wood than control plants.
- Intervention effect Drought did not increase wood degradation or esca expression in the trunk, although it increased pathogen abundance there.
- Observation The Ascomycota communities of trunks and younger organs clearly differed.
