Next to an ankyrin-repeat-containing protein (Vitvi09g00321), RuBisCo large subunit-binding protein (Vitvi09g00322), cytochrome c oxidase assembly protein (Vitvi09g01591), CHCH-LETM1-like protein (Vitvi09g0592), VHS domain-containing protein (Vitvi09g00326), a zinc phosphodiesterase (Vitvi09g00327), an AP2/ERF-like protein (Vitvi09g00323), and a RPS5-like protein (Vitvi09g01593) were declared as candidate genes correlated to an infection by P. viticola [15,22,34] (Zyprian et al. in preparation). This evidence concerns the gene CHURC1 and infection.
