Multiple, simultaneous abiotic stresses differentially impact downy mildew infection in grapevine.
Article in Tree physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Maintaining grapevine health and resilience under climate change demands an understanding of how multiple stresses interact. Climate change has led to more frequent and intense droughts and heat waves, which often occur together and may affect disease pressure. Here, we explored a complex multi-stress framework by combining drought and heat stress with downy mildew infection in grapevine, determining their possible interactions (synergistic or antagonistic) on pathogenesis, and detailing their effects on grapevine leaf physiology. We subjected grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) to drought, heat stress or a combination of both, subsequently inoculating leaves with Plasmopara viticola (Berk. & Curt. Ex de Bary). In these same leaves we quantified their physiological responses and changes in defense-related metabolite (H2O2 and phenols) concentrations. Our results revealed common and distinct responses to the multi-stress interactions. Drought and drought-heat treatments led to low stomatal conductance (a reduction in stomatal aperture), which acted as a biophysical mechanism restricting P. viticola entry and resulting in a lower P. viticola sporulation rate. Defense-related metabolites were differentially regulated according to the stress combination, suggesting a role in the biochemical mechanism against the P. viticola infection. Stilbene concentration increased by 36, 57 and 113% in response to drought, heat and drought-heat, respectively. Flavonoids and phenolic acids exhibited distinct patterns in response to different stress treatments. These results shed light on the mechanisms that drive complex interactions between abiotic and biotic stressors, enhancing our understanding of multi-stress resilience and allowing us to better predict how grapevines will respond to the changing climate.
