“…Although some studies have been conducted to elucidate the molecular interactions between grape and E. ampelina (Ahn, Kim, Jo, et al, 2014;Gao et al, 2020), the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the past, most of the studies focused on pathogen identification and pathogenicity (Santos et al, 2018a(Santos et al, , 2018c, sporulation induction (Li et al, 2018;Santos et al, 2018b), characterization of the infection and colonization processes (Braga et al, 2019(Braga et al, , 2020Li et al, 2019), identification of resistant cultivars and hybrids (Hopkins & Harris, 2000;Poolsawat et al, 2012), development of molecular markers linked to disease resistance genes (Kim et al, 2008), and expression and screening of disease resistance-related genes (Gao et al, 2012;Seehalak et al, 2011;Vasanthaiah et al, 2010). Although many relevant studies have been published on grapevine anthracnose in recent years, in particular on the two genomes of E. ampelina recently published (Haridas et al, 2020;, a recent review of the literature for this pathosystem is not available.…”
