Abstract Grapes are considered by many scientists as of the promising crops in Sudan . Its cultivation was successful under Sudan climatic conditions . The main single factor that limits grape cultivation in Sudan is the availability of stock mother plant of known varieties . This has led to the scarcity of planting material that is disease free . Introduction of plant from aboard is expensive . The objective of this study was to tailor a nutrient medium suitable for the clonal propagation of grape using tissue culture techniques . Shoot – tips and nodal cutting were cultured on various concetrations of MS salt mit (0.25X, 0.5X, 1.0X, 2.0X). The addition , potassium hypophosphate (KH2PO4) to the medium was also tried as a supplement to test its effact on growth and propagation of grapes . Various combinations of the auxin (NAA) and the cytokinin (kinetin) were tested for the propagation purpose of grapes . The auxin (IBA) was also used for the rooting of in vitro produced plantlets before transfer to soil . Nodel cutting s proved to be the ex – plant of chice for the clonal propagation of grapes when cultured on full MS salt mix . Further enhancements were gained with suppliment of KH2PO4 giving best results in all parameters measured this was adopted as the ex- plant for culture initiation in all experiments conducted in this study . The result also showed that the best combination of auxin and cytokinin for high propagation rate was 0.1mg/1 NAA and 1.0mg/1 kinitin .Best rooting on the other hand was obtianed by the addition of 0.3mg/1 IBA. Growth and development of cultured nodal cutting in liquid medium supported by cotton proved to be the best for grape propagation compared toagar or other solidifying agent . ﻣﻠﺨﺺ اﻷﻃﺮوﺣﺔ ﻳﻌﺘﺒﺮ ﻧﺒﺎت اﻟﻌﻨﺐ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻤﺤﺎﺻﻴﻞ اﻟﻮاﻋﺪة ﻓﻰ اﻟﺴﻮدان ﺣﻴﺚ اﺛﺒﺖ ﻧﺠﺎح زراﻋﺘﻪ ﺗﺤﺖ اﻟﻈﺮوف و أﺻﻮل ﻣﻌﺮوﻓﺔ، اﻟﻤﻨﺎﺧﻴﺔ ﻓﻰ اﻟﺴﻮدان واﻟﻤﺸﻜﻠﺔ اﻟﺘﻰ ﺗﻮاﺟﻪ ﻧﺠﺎح زراﻋﺘﻪ هﻲ ﻋﺪم ﺗﻮﻓﺮ أﻣﻬﺎت إﺿﺎﻓﺔ اﻟﻰ ﻋﺪم ﺗﻮﻓﺮ ﺷﺘﻮل آﺎﻓﻴﺔ ﺧﺎﻟﻴﺔ ﻣﻦ اﻷﻣﺮاض وﺻﻌﻮﺑﺔ اﺳﺘﻴﺮاد هﺬﻩ اﻟﻨﺒﺎﺗﺎت ﻣﻦ اﻟﺨﺎرج. ﺗﻬﺪف هﺬﻩ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ اﻟﻰ اﻳﺠﺎد وﺳﻂ ﻏﺬاﺋﻰ ﻣﻨﺎﺳﺐ ﻟﻠﺤﺼﻮل ﻋﻠﻰ ﺗﻜﺎﺛﺮ ﺳﻼﻟﻲ ﻟﻠﻌﻨﺐ ﺑﺎﺳﺘﺨﺪام ﻃﺮق زراﻋﺔ اﻷﻧﺴﺠﺔ. ﺗﻢ ﻓﻰ هﺬﻩ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ اﺳﺘﺨﺪام اﻟﻘﻤﺔ اﻟﻨﺎﻣﻴﺔ واﻟﻌﻘﺪ اﻟﺴﺎﻗﻴﺔ ﻣﻔﺼﻮﻟﺔ ﻟﻨﺒﻴﺘﺎت ﻣﻨﺘﺠﺔ داﺧﻞ اﻷﻧﺎﺑﻴﺐ ﻹﻧﺸﺎء اﻟﺰراﻋﺎت اﻟﻨﺴﻴﺠﻴﺔ ﻓﻰ اﻟﺘﺠﺎرب اﻷوﻟﻴﺔ. زرﻋﺖ اﻟﻘﻤﻢ اﻟﻨﺎﻣﻴﺔ واﻟﻌﻘﺪ اﻟﺴﺎﻗﻴﺔ ﻋﻠﻰ أﻧﻮاع ﻣﺨﺘﻠﻔﺔ ﻣﻦ اﻟﺒﻴﺌﺎت اﻟﺰراﻋﻴﺔ ﺑﺘﺮاآﻴﺰ أﻣﻼح ﻣﺨﺘﻠﻔﺔ ﺗﻢ اﺧﺘﺒﺎر إﺿﺎﻓﺔ أﻣﻼح اﻟﺒﻮﺗﺎﺳﻴﻮم (MS) (0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0) ﻣﻦ وﺳﻂ (Kinetin) واﻟﺴﻴﺘﻮآﺎﻳﻨﻴﻦ(NAA )ﻓﻮﺳﻔﻴﺖ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻧﻤﻮ وﺗﻜﺎﺛﺮ اﻟﻌﻨﺐ, وﺗﻮﻟﻴﻔﺎت ﻣﺨﺘﻠﻔﺔ ﻣﻦ اﻻآﺴﻴﻦ ﻟﻠﺘﺠﺬﻳﺮ ﻓﻰ اﻻﻧﺎﺑﻴﺐ ﻟﻴﺘﻢ ﺑﻌﺪ ذﻟﻚ اﻟﻨﻘﻞ (IBA) ﺑﻐﺮض إآﺜﺎر اﻟﻌﻨﺐ وآﺬﻟﻚ اﺧﺘﺒﺮ اﻻآﺴﻴﻦ اﻟﻰ اﻟﺨﺎرج. ﺛﺒﺖ ﻣﻦ اﻟﺘﺠﺎرب اﻷوﻟﻴﺔ ﺗﻔﻮق اﻟﻌﻘﺪ اﻟﺴﺎﻗﻴﺔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﻤﻢ اﻟﺴﻮق ﻓﻰ اﻻﺳﺘﺠﺎﺑﺔ ﻟﻠﻨﻤﻮ واﻟﺘﻜﺸﻒ داﺧﻞ اﻻﻧﺎﺑﻴﺐ وﻟﻬﺬا اﻋﺘﻤﺪ اﺳﺘﺨﺪاﻣﻬﺎ آﺠﺰء ﻟﻼﺳﺘﺰراع ﻹﻧﺸﺎء زراﻋﺎت اﻷﻧﺴﺠﺔ ﻓﻰ آﻞ اﻟﺘﺠﺎرب اﻟﺘﻰ ﺗﻤﺖ ﻓﻰ هﺬﻩ اﻟﺪراﺳﺔ. اﻟﻤﺤﺘﻮى ﻋﻠﻰ أﻣﻼح اﻟﺒﻮﺗﺎﺳﻴﻮم ﻓﻮﺳﻔﻴﺖ اﻓﻀﻞ اﻟﻨﺘﺎﺋﺞ ﻟﻠﺘﻜﺎﺛﺮ (MS) أﻋﻄﻰ اﻟﺘﺮآﻴﺰ اﻟﻜﺎﻣﻞ ﻷﻣﻼح ﺑﻮاﺳﻄﺔ اﻟﻌﻘﺪ اﻟﺴﺎﻗﻴﺔ . آﺬﻟﻚ أوﺿﺤﺖ اﻟﻨﺘﺎﺋﺞ ﺁن أﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﻌﺪل ﺗﻜﺎﺛﺮ ﻳﺘﺄﺗﻰ ﺑﺎﺳﺘﺨﺪام اﻟﺘﻮﻟﻴﻔﺔ ﻣﻦ ﻣﻠﺠﻢ/ﻟﺘﺮ، آﻤﺎ ﺗﻢ اﻟﺤﺼﻮل ﻋﻠﻰ Kinetin) 1.0 ) ﻣﻠﺞ/ل اﻟﺴﺎﻳﺘﻮآﺎﻳﻨﻴﻦ NAA) 0.1 ) اﻻآﺴﻴﻦ .(IBA) أﻋﻠﻰ ﻣﻌﺪل ﻟﻠﺘﺠﺰﻳﺮ ﻋﻨﺪ اﺳﺘﺨﺪام 0.1 ﻣﻠﺠﻢ/ﻟﺘﺮ آﺎن ﻧﻤﻮ وﺗﻜﺸﻒ اﻟﻌﻘﺪ اﻟﺴﺎﻗﻴﺔ ﻓﻰ اﻟﻮﺳﻂ اﻟﻐﺬاﺋﻲ اﻟﺴﺎﺋﻞ اﻟﻤﺪﻋﻮم ﺑﺎﻟﻘﻄﻦ اﻓﻀﻞ ﻟﺘﻜﺎﺛﺮ اﻟﻌﻨﺐ ﻣﻘﺎرﻧﺔ ﺑﻼﺟﺎر او اﻟﻌﻮاﻣﻞ اﻟﻤﺼﻠﺒﺔ اﻷﺧﺮى. Introduction Grape (Vitis sp.) belongs to the family Vitaceae and several known types of grapes are named after their place of origin. European grapes have been grown in cultivation throughout recorded history. Wine is the primary use for European grapes, but they can be used for eating out of hand, as raisins, and can be made in to juice. Among the many species of grapes known the most commercially exploited and utilized are: Vitis Vinifera (The old world grape) used for wine, raisins, and for table purposes and V. labrusca grown commercially for table use, grape juice, and to a lesser extent in wine production, (Christopher, 1958). Grapevines are natives to temperate zones. They grow well in Mediterranean climate, and are theis found around the Mediterranean on the coasts of South Africa and South West Australia, California and Chile. They can also be cultivated under irrigation in desert areas and under tropical climates but here they require intensive and constant care, where the production of two harvests per year is normal (Jordens, 1987). The economic importance of grapes is in the exploitation of unsuitable lands for growing other fruits, such as sandy, low fertility soils and low-in- depth lands. Sudan is now heading towards an agricultural revolution and the use and spread of technology so as to maximize the benefit of its resources. In the field of fruit production many promising types of fruits exist, among them are grapes where preliminary trials, showed good potentials for their cultivation especially in the Northern region. Grapes are well known in Sudan and are cultivated in many areas but the yield is of low quantity and quality. This may be attributed to the repeated and continuous use of vegetative propagation that lead to the accumulation of many diseases a reason that necessitates obtaining disease free stocks or importing diseases-free mothers from abroad which is costly and laborious and passes through various complicated quarantine steps. The objective of this research was to study the propagation of a local variety of grape (Vitis sp.) through tissue culture technique and find the most appropriate conditions of medium formulation for mass propagation, using two types of explants: shoot-tip and nodal segments as an initial step aiming at the production of disease-free stock mother plants of commercially known varieties. 2-Literature review 2.1 Origin and distribution: - Grape originated in Middle Asia between the Black and Casbian sea. These places are considered as the origin of European grapes (Vitis Vinifera L.) or the old world grape. From this species all other types of grapes were produced before the discovery of the new world.

Muscadine grapes will perform well throughout Florida, although performance is poor in calcareous soils or in soils with very poor drainage. Most scientists divide the Vitis ge- nus into two subgenera: Euvitis (the European, Vitis vinifera L. grapes and the American bunch grapes, Vitis labrusca L.) and the Muscadania grapes (muscadine grapes). There are three species within the Muscadania subgenera (Vitis munsoniana, Vitis popenoei and Vitis rotundifolia). Euvitis and Muscadania have somatic chromosome numbers of 38 and 40, respectively. Vines do best in deep, fertile soils, and they can often be found in adjacent riverbeds. Wild muscadine grapes are functionally dioecious due to incomplete stamen formation in female vines and incom- plete pistil formation in male vines.

Conservative soil management techniques play an important role, compared to conventional tillage, in order to preserve biodiversity, to save soil fertility, and to keep vegetative-productive balance. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate long-term adaptation strategies to create a balance between the vine and the surrounding environment. This work sought to assess the effects of following different management practices on Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon during 2017 and 2018 seasons: soil tillage (T), temporary cover cropping over all inter-rows (C), and mulching with plant residues every other row (M). The main physiological parameters of vines (leaf gas exchange, stem water potential, chlorophyll fluorescence, and indirect chlorophyll content) as well as qualitative and quantitative grape parameters (technological and phenolic analyses) were measured.

Venizelou Ave., Athens, Greece Received 21 June 2013, revised 8 May 2014, accepted 23 May 2014, available online 20 November 2014 Abstract. Since the formulation of the “French paradox”, red grape wines are generally considered to be health-promoting products rather than culpable alcoholic beverages. The total wine production, totalling an equivalent of 30 billion 750 mL bottles in 2009, only verifies the fact that global demand is increasing and that the polyphenols present in wines are accounting for a significant proportion of the daily antioxidant intake of the general population. Both statements justify the interest of new regions to be self-sufficient in the wine production. Novel cold tolerant hybrid grape varieties also make it possible to produce wines in regions where winter temperatures fall below – 30 °C and the yearly sum of active temperatures does not exceed 1750 °C.

Typical ripeness estimation involves multiple manual samplings before harvest followed by chemical analyses. Machine vision has paved the way for agricultural automation by introducing quicker, cost-effective, and non-destructive methods. This work comprehensively surveys the most recent applications of machine vision techniques for ripeness estimation. Due to the broad area of machine vision applications in agriculture, this review is limited only to the most recent techniques related to grapes. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art algorithms by covering a wide range of applications. The potential of current machine vision techniques for specific viticulture applications is also analyzed. Problems, limitations of each technique, and future trends are discussed. Moreover, the integration of machine vision algorithms in grape harvesting robots for real-time in-field maturity assessment is additionally examined.

Cultivars from Shoot and Leaf Culture Fikadu Kumsa Department of Biology, College of Natural and Computational Science, Ambo University, Ethiopia Abstract Invitro regeneration is aseptic culture of cells, tissues, organs or whole plants under controlled nutritional and environmental conditions. Grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most widely distributed fruit crops in the world. Conventional method of grapevine propagation is time consuming and allows disease transmission. A planted grape vine needs four to five years to be a propagation material by cutting, due to its long juvenility period. Therefore, the establishment of efficient in vitro regeneration is too much needed. The optimal levels of growth regulators and light conditions on callus induction and organogenesis of in-vitro cultured grapevine were assessed. Accordingly, maximum calluses and shoots were produced by using medium supplemented with different concentrations of growth regulators (BAP, IBA, TDZ and NAA) as alone or in combinations. For successful production of propagules, the occurrence and effect of in vitro shoot vetrification /hyperhydricity/were assessed. From the tested different concentrations of BAP and agar, the best mean numbers of vetrification free shoots were obtained at 0.5 mg/l BAP in 7.5g/l agar for both cheninblanc and canonannon cultivars.

  • Tannin Content in Vitis Species Red Wines Quantified Using Three
    molecules Article Tannin Content in Vitis Species Red Wines Quantified Using Three Analytical Methods Aude A. Watrelot Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Iowa State University, 536 Farm House Lane, Ames, IA 50011-1054, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-515-294-0343 Abstract: Tannin content in red wines is positively correlated with astringency perception and wine grade; however, tannin quantification is one of the main challenges. In this study, tannin content was quantified using three analytical methods in commercial red wines from Vitis vinifera and interspecific cold-hardy hybrids including Marquette, Frontenac, and Petite pearl cultivars. Protein (PP) and methylcellulose precipitation (MCP) methods were compared to a HPLC-DAD method, which is based on the interaction between tannins and a hydrophobic surface (RPC). Frontenac wines were the poorest in tannins and Cabernet sauvignon wines were the richest regardless of the method used. In cold-hardy red wines, the tannin content was higher in Marquette with high alcohol content, which suggested that the tannins were extracted from seeds rather than skins. The high limit of quantification of the PP method and the presence of anthocyanin di-glucosides in cold-hardy wines were parameters suggesting that protein and methylcellulose precipitation methods were neither suitable nor reliable for the quantification of tannins in cold-hardy red wines. The tannin content quantified by RPC was positively correlated to tannin quantified by MCP, suggesting that the RPC method would be relevant for the quantification of tannins in red wines.

  • Wild Grape (Vitis Spp.) & Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus Spp.) WILD GRAPE
    Weed Identification and Control Sheet: www.goodoak.com/weeds Wild Grape (Vitis spp.) & Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus spp.) WILD GRAPE: There are four species of wild grape native to Wisconsin. The most common by far is riverbank grape (Vitis riparia), sometimes just called wild grape. It is a woody vine that rambles over shrubs and fencerows and can even climb into the tree canopy. Occasionally you will find summer grape (V. aestiva- lis). This species has a more variable leaf shape, with the underside of leaves being strongly whitened. Note that if you find a very aggressive grape-like woody vine, in may in-fact be porcelaine berry, a new invasive species that must be ag- gressively eliminated. Grapes certainly have value in the natural community. Their small, greenish-yellow flowers are very attractive to small bees.Their berries are a popular treat for songbirds, gamebirds and many mam- mals, including human foragers. Over 20 species of moth caterpillars feed on wild grape including the fascinating sphinx moths as do other insects, such as impressive grapevine beetle. These insects are then food for larger animals, making grapes an important cornerstone in the foundation of the ecosystem. VIRGINIA CREEPER: A native woody vine in the grape family, Virginia creeper has compound, five-lobed leaves which radiate out from a central point. They have small green flowers that are typically pollinated by small solitary bees. They have black berries that are not as palatable to hu- mans as grapes, but are still highly valued by wildlife. Nearly a dozen species of insects feed on the foliage, making Virginia creeper another important component of our ecological community.

  • Collecting Vitis Berlandieri from Native Habitat Sites
    Collecting Vitis berlandieri from Native Habitat Sites Joachim Schmid,1 Frank Manty,1 and Peter Cousins*2 1Fachgebiet Rebenzüchtung und Rebenveredlung, Forschungsanstalt Geisenheim, Germany 2United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service 630 W. North Street, Geneva, NY 14456 email: [email protected] Lime content is the major difference between Northern American and European vine growing soils. This resulted in significant difficulties in the development of rootstocks for European conditions at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It was only the introduction of Vitis berlandieri as a breeding partner that led to lime tolerant rootstocks. Despite this key role of V. berlandieri for European viticulture, only a few accessions have so far been used for breeding purposes. In most cases these vines were only used because they were available in Europe at this time. The genetic range of the species is certainly much larger and has so far not been utilized. To preserve and evaluate genetic diversity in V. berlandieri, grape berries were collected in September 2005 from a large range of natural stands in Texas, United States. 86 individual vines were sampled. The collection locations were found in thirteen counties and across a distribution from N 31° 23′ to N 29° 43′ and W 100° 2′ to W 97° 26′. Berries were sent to USDA, Geneva, NY and seeds collected and shipped to Geisenheim for germination. Vines will be planted in germplasm collections and evaluated for their rooting and grafting ability, their lime tolerance, and other viticultural features. Superior types will then be utilized in the Geisenheim rootstock breeding program.
