Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is a model plant for the plant-virus interactions studies of woody species in both controlled (greenhouse, in vitro) and field trials. Grapevine is potentially infected by numerous viral entities. A few studies have been performed on pathogenic viruses infecting this crop, in some environmental conditions (water stress) and in different grapevine genotype - virus combinations. These works, still in quite reduced number, highlights the importance of deepening the biology underlying the plant-virus interactions
