“…Its closest molecular relative is Grapevine berry inner necrosis virus (GINV), which induces similar symptoms on grapevines in Japan (Terai et al ., ; Yoshikawa et al ., ). After its first discovery, GPGV has been identified in many other varieties and in several countries, suggesting that its occurrence is not restricted to a few grape‐growing areas, and the distribution is much wider than previously thought (Beber et al ., ; Cho et al ., ; Raiola et al ., ; Casati et al ., ; Glasa et al ., ; Mavrič Pleško et al ., ; Morelli et al ., ; Bertazzon et al ., ; Beuve et al ., ; Angelini et al ., ; Eichmeier et al ., ; Fan et al ., ; Gazel et al ., ; Xiao et al ., ). However, the association between the symptomatology and the presence of the virus is unclear, with several reports documenting GPGV in plants with symptoms, but also in a number of symptomless grapevines (Giampetruzzi et al ., ; Saldarelli et al ., , ; Forte et al ., ; Mavrič Pleško et al ., ; Bianchi et al ., ).…”
