| Abstract | Introduction: The Eurasian wild grapevine, Vitis vinifera subspecies sylvestris (Gmelin) Hegi, has been a common dioecious plant in different ecosystems from Central and Southern Europe. It grows thus on fluvisol regularly flooded and is also currently found on colluvisols. Both soils are regularly renewed with fresh rough material either brought by flooding or by gravity (ARNOLD 2002). The human impact on wild grapevine habitats had direct and undirect implications. The progressive canalization of rivers, dam and levee constructions, forestry and horticulture exploitations of floodplain forests, cleaning of riverbanks, and the continuous extension of the road network led to direct eradications of wild grapevine populations throughout Europe (ARNOLD et al. 1998). Other undirect repercussions derived from the importation of North American diseases and pests such as powdery and downy mildews and respectively phylloxera led to the current status of the wild grapevine as threatened taxon in the European territory (THORSELL and SIGATY 1997). The aim of the current paper was to compare symptoms caused by phylloxera on roots in several wild areas and in a experience carried out under artificial infestation. |
