Grape Sour Rot: A Four-Way Interaction Involving the Host, Yeast, Acetic Acid Bacteria, and Insects

Abstract: Sour rot, a disease affecting berries of cultivated Vitis spp. worldwide, has not been clearly defined. Reported symptoms of the disease include browning of the berry skin, oozing of disintegrated berry pulp, and the smell of acetic acid, all in the presence of fruit flies (Drosophila spp.). We determined acetic acid concentrations in multiple collections of symptomatic berries, isolated and identified microbes from them, and inoculated commonly isolated organisms into healthy berries with and without concurre… Show more

“…The authors conclude that especially the larval development of Drosophila spp. leads to the loss of berry integrity and catalyses the decaying process (Hall, Loeb, Cadle‐Davidson, et al, ). Our experiments support a role of developing Drosophila larvae on sour rot by showing an increase in volatile acidity with increasing numbers of emerging flies (Figure ).…”

“…Instead, our study shows that the common vinegar fly D. melanogaster is able to induce sour rot as well, but in contrast to D. suzukii , it is dependent on grapes' physical conditions. Drosophila melanogaster is a well‐known amplifier of this disease and winegrowers keep an eye on it at all times (Hall, Loeb, Cadle‐Davidson, et al, ; Hall, Loeb, & Wilcox, ). Thus, it requires further investigation to determine under which circumstances D. suzukii can really increase grape damage beyond the damage levels that D. melanogaster can cause.…”
