The effects of the fungicides fludioxonil and pyrimethanil were evaluated on grapevine leaves using in vitro-grown plantlets, fruiting cuttings, and plants grown in vineyards. In vitro, both water content and osmotic potential decreased in treated leaves. Moreover, carbohydrate accumulated, suggesting that plantlets could react to the stress through an active osmoregulation process by uptaking sugars from the medium. Besides, pyrimethanil stimulated the accumulation of proteins, whereas no significant effect was observed using fludioxonil. The cuttings exhibited similar responses than in vitro though they appeared to be more tolerant since half of the studied parameters recovered 10 days after treatment. In vineyard, both fungicides modified leaf water content and carbohydrate levels, whereas nitrogenous compounds accumulated transiently. These results suggest that in vineyard-grown plants, a strong sugar translocation from mature leaves to sink organs occurs transiently, as well as a protein synthesis and a stimulation of soil nitrogen uptake.
