The disease development of grape downy mildew is known to be heavily reliant on the efficiency of the asexual propagation cycles. Kiefer et al. (2002) demonstrated that the early development of Plasmopara viticola is regulated specifically and coordinately by unknown factors originating from the host grapevine plant Vitis vinifera . [ 13 ]
Downy mildew refers to any of several types of oomycete microbes that are obligate parasites of plants. Downy mildews exclusively belong to the Peronosporaceae family. In commercial agriculture , they are a particular problem for growers of crucifers , grapes and vegetables that grow on vines.

They parasitise their host plants as an intercellular mycelium using haustoria to penetrate the host cells. The downy mildews reproduce asexually by forming sporangia on distinctive white sporangiophores usually formed on the lower surface of infected leaves. These constitute the "downy mildew".
In plants, they are mainly restricted to the phloem tissue where they can move and multiply through the sieve tube elements. [2] Almost identical symptoms of the GY syndrome are caused by different phytoplasmas and appear on leaves, shoots and clusters of grapevine.
Among the viticultural hazards that Arrouya noir vines are susceptible too is downy mildew (pictured left).. Arrouya noir is a late-ripening grape variety that can be very vigorous and high yielding if not kept in check by winter pruning and late season green harvesting.
Peronospora is a genus of oomycetes that are obligate plant pathogens of many eudicots. [1] Most species in this group produce a downy mildew disease, which can cause severe damage to many different cultivated crops, as well as wild and ornamental plants. [2]
Bordeaux mixture in preparation Bordeaux mixture on grapes. Bordeaux mixture (also called Bordo Mix) is a mixture of copper(II) sulphate (CuSO 4) and quicklime (Ca O) used as a fungicide. It is used in vineyards, fruit-farms, vegetable-farms and gardens to prevent infestations of downy mildew, powdery mildew and other fungi. It is sprayed on ...
