    Evaluating Resistance to Grape Phylloxera in Vitis Species with an in Vitro Dual Culture Assay WLADYSLAWA GRZEGORCZYK ~ and M

    Evaluating Resistance to Grape Phylloxera in Vitis Species with an in vitro Dual Culture Assay WLADYSLAWA GRZEGORCZYK ~ and M. ANDREW WALKER 2. Forty-one accessions of 12 Vitis L. and Muscadinia Small species were evaluated for resistance to grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch) using an in vitro dual culture system. The performance of the species tested in this study was consistent with previously published studies with whole plants and helps confirm the utility of in vitro dual culture for the study of grape/phylloxera interactions. This in vitro system provides rapid results (8 wk) and the ability to observe the phylloxera/grape interaction without interference from other factors. This system also provides an evaluation that overemphasizes susceptibility, thus providing more confidence in the resistance responses of a given species or accession. Among the unusual responses were the susceptibility of V. riparia Michx. DVIT 1411; susceptibility within V. berlandieri Planch.; relatively wide ranging responses in V. rupestris Scheele; and the lack of feeding on the roots of V. califomica Benth., in contrast to the severe foliar feeding damage that occurred on this species. Vitis califomica #11 and V. girdiana Munson DVIT 1379 were unusual because phylloxera on them had the shortest generation times. Such accessions might be used to examine how grape hosts influence phylloxera behavior. Very strong resistance was found within V. aestivalisMichx. DVIT 7109 and 7110; I/. berlandieric9031; V. cinereaEngelm; I/. riparia (excluding DVIT 1411 ); V. rupestris DVIT 1418 and 1419; and M. rotundifolia Small. These species and accessions seem to possess enough resistance to enable their use in breeding with minimal concern about phylloxera susceptibility.

Abstract: Diplodia seriata, one of the major causal agents of Botryosphaeria dieback, spreads world- wide, causing cankers, leaf spots and fruit black rot in grapevine. Vitis rupestris is an American wild grapevine widely used for resistance and rootstock breeding and was found to be highly resistant to Botryosphaeria dieback. The defense responses of V. rupestris to D. seriata 98.1 were analyzed by RNA-seq in this study. There were 1365 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) annotated with Gene Ontology (GO) and enriched by the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. The DEGs could be allocated to the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway and the plant–pathogen in- teraction pathway. Among them, 53 DEGs were transcription factors (TFs). The expression levels of 12 genes were further verified by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

    Grapes, wine and other derivatives. OTA content. CHAPTER 6 GRAPES, WINE AND OTHER DERIVATIVES. OTA CONTENT 6.1. WORLD-WIDE PRODUCTION OF GRAPES, WINE AND OTHER GRAPE- DERIVATIVES Grape is the fruit of a vine in the family Vitaceae (Table 7). It is commonly used for making grape juice, wine, jelly, wine, grape seed oil and raisins (dried grapes), or can be eaten raw (table grapes). Table 7. Scientific classification of grapes. Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Vitales Family: Vitaceae Genus: Vitis Many species of grape exist including: • Vitis vinifera, the European winemaking grapes. • Vitis labrusca, the North American table and grape juice grapes, sometimes used for wine. • Vitis riparia, a wild grape of North America, sometimes used for winemaking. • Vitis rotundifolia, the muscadines, used for jelly and sometimes wine. • Vitis aestivalis, the variety Norton is used for winemaking. • Vitis lincecumii (also called Vitis aestivalis or Vitis lincecumii), Vitis berlandieri (also called Vitis cinerea var. helleri), Vitis cinerea, Vitis rupestris are used for making hybrid wine grapes and for pest-resistant rootstocks. 73 CHAPTER 6 . The main reason for the use of most V. vinifera varieties in wine production is their high sugar content, which after fermentation, produce a wine with an alcohol content of 10 % or slightly higher. Grape varieties of V. vinifera have a great variation of composition. Skin pigment colours vary from greenish yellow to russet, pink, red, reddish violet or blue-black. The colour of red wines comes from the skin, not the juice. The juice is normally colourless, though some varieties have a pink to red colour.
