Fanleaf Flashcards
Known as
Wingerdnetelblaar
Where does it occur?
All viticultural regions
Which cultivars are susceptible?
ALL
Biological strains
Fanleaf,
yellow mosaic,
vein banding
SHOOTS
short internodes
double nodes
abnormal branching
dwarfed shoot growth
zigzag growth pattern
LEAVES
deformed & discolouration
asymmetrical leaf blades
main veins being drawn towards each other
petiole sinus is bigger and wider
chlorotic spots occur
What happens after transfer to the plant material?
fanleaf associated particles move from cell to cell in all directions.
productivity and life expectancy influenced
What causes the reduced productivity in fanleaf-infected grapevines?
severe millerandage
Cause of millerandage
small/underdeveloped root system with a decrease in photosynthetic capacity caused by the leaf deformation/discolouration
Less cytokinin production?
fewer root tips. this cause an imbalance amongst hormones
