Mauke

Name (also Mauche or plant cancer) for a vine disease, which can also occur in many other plants. On fruit trees it is feared as "root canker". It mainly affects the perennial wood above ground (rarely the one-year-old wood). On the vine, it is caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium vitis and occurs especially after frosty winters with prolonged temperatures below 15 °Celsius, which have damaged the vines. In spring, it manifests itself as light brown galls (growths, cancerous nodes) on the lower part of the trunk, mostly above the grafting point, which can later extend up the trunk in the shape of a lath. As the disease progresses, the proliferating and darkening tissue grows out of the bark, often causing the vine to die years later. The picture shows the disease in an advanced stage on a Müller-Thurgau vine.
