Abstract
This is the first report of Greeneria uvicola isolated from grapevines (Vitis vinifera) showing symptoms of dead-arm dieback and from asymptomatic canes in Uruguay. Greeneria uvicola was identified by morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of the partial LSU DNA. Pathogenicity of isolates from both sources was determined by inoculation of mycelium plugs on 1-year-old canes of cvv. Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat.
