Abstract

We have studied the correlation between the phytoalexin stilbenoids synthesis and the level of  bacterial and fungal attacks.  The paper  shows  the results of the study related to  crown gall infection in different viticulture  areas (locations)  of  Georgia.  In concert: for Saperavi - Mukuzani and Napareuli, for Rkatsiteli -  Tsarapi and Tibaani.  In April 2024  we  infected vine trunks with water suspension of  “Agrobacterium tumefaciens” under different soil and climatic conditions  and we observed the development of diseases in the period of April- October.  In experimental vineyards   were found out  dominant phytoalexin stress- metabolites stilbenoids trans-resveratrol and trans- ɛ -viniferin in the infected  vine trunks of Saperavi and Rkatsiteli.  Stilbenoids concentration changes  were observed under  the vine varieties  and soil-climatic factors. The impact of   mentioned factors were established with different  experiments carried out in the lab and in the vineyard. The   results are important data for   considering  the stilbenoids as  biomarker of Saperavi and Rkatsiteli vine varieties   for their resistance  against crown gall  disease.
