First developed in the 1980s, genetic transfer inserts a very small number of genes into grapevines. The first Grape Varieties research, by French scientists, was supported by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, and the results, published in 1998, were very promising. As public concern about GMOs grew, LVMH stopped research in 2000. Dr François Lefort Genetic transfer research continued in Germany, Australia, Canada, and the US. The LVMH results and genetic material were given to INRA in GM vines are on their way to European vineyards: France, which continued the research, albeit at a slower pace. the first open field trials of genetically modified Germany: GM grapevines grapevines have begun in France and Germany, German scientists of the German Federal Grapevine Research Centre at despite scepticism from growers and consumers.

  • 1 GRAPE DISEASE CONTROL, 2015 After a 1-Year Hiatus, It's Time Once
    GRAPE DISEASE CONTROL, 2015 Wayne F. Wilcox, Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University, NY State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva NY 14456 ([email protected]) After a 1-year hiatus, it’s time once again for the (almost) annual update and review on controlling the fungal diseases that grape growers must regularly contend with in our eastern climate. As always, I’d like to acknowledge the outstanding team of grape pathologists here in Geneva, which includes bacteriologists (Tom Burr’s program) and virologists (Marc Fuchs’s program) in addition to those of us who work on fungal diseases: faculty colleagues and cooperators (David Gadoury, Bob Seem, Lance-Cadle-Davidson); research technicians (including the phoenix-like Duane Riegel, Dave Combs, and Judy Burr); and graduate students and post-docs too numerous to mention here. It truly is the combined research efforts of all of these people that serve as the basis for most of the following. THE WINTER FROM HELL We won’t dwell upon it, but there are going to be some consequences this coming season as a result of our recently-concluded (or so it’s starting to appear) WFH. It’s beyond the scope of this screed to discuss and sometimes lament many of the more obvious issues, but there are a couple of disease-related points that are worth covering briefly: • Phomopsis infection of new suckers. This issue falls into the “observation/speculation” category rather than one that contains relatively well-established facts. That being said, the last time (2004) that upstate NY had winter temperatures that killed top wood in a significant number of locations, I (and others) noticed that sucker growth destined to become new trunks developed an awful lot of Phomopsis infection during the early growing season.

  • Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008
    Summary of Results: Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008 Wine Grape Cultivar Trials 2000-2008 in the Cool Maritime Climate of Western WA Gary Moulton, Carol Miles, Jacqueline King, and Charla Echlin WSU Mount Vernon NWREC 16650 State Route 536, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 Tel. 360-848-6150 Email [email protected] http://extension.wsu.edu/maritimefruit/Pages/default.aspx Wines produced from grapes grown in cool climate regions have generally low alcohol content, low viscosity, and high fruit aromas and flavor (Casteel, 1992; Jackson and Schuster, 1977; Zoecklein, 1998). Certain varietals from Germany, Austria Russia, Hungary, and Armenia, as well as some common French varieties such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris can produce excellent fruity wines in western Washington. Selection of the right clone is important and knowing the heat units of your site will greatly aid in the selection of which varieties to grow. The cool maritime region of western Washington is on the very low end of the spectrum with respect to the number of growing degree days (GDD) needed for ripening the more common wine grape cultivars. Although the Puget Sound region has a long growing season in terms of frost free days, mesoclimates within the area range from below 1200 GDD to 2200 GDD. The Washington State University Mount Vernon Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU Mount Vernon NWREC) research site is located at 12 feet above sea level in the Skagit Valley floodplain, 3 miles from the Puget Sound. Since 2002, annual GDD averaged 1693; in 2003 there was a spike in GDD of 1965.

Located in the Tarn departement of France - a 3hr drive south east from Bordeaux and about 70km north east from Toulouse - his tiny distillery produces what might very well be the most magnificent expressions of fruits liquor/sweet-wine and eau-de-vie. The man farms biodynamically 20 hectares (ha) divided as such: 3 hectares of vine dedicated to growing endemic grape variety: - 1.8 ha of Mauzac Rose - 0.5 ha of Prunelart - 0.7 ha of Folle Noire 2.5 ha of fruit trees: - 0.7 ha of Greengage - 1.3 ha of Pear trees - 0.5 ha of a field blend of fruit trees such as sour cherry trees, quince trees etc... 1.5 ha of truffle grove (and depending on the year, 5 ha of sunflowers and 4 ha of other cereals. The rest of the land is made of woods) The adventure started in 1967 when Laurent’s father started his one-man traveling distiller operation: while his dad had been growing some fruit trees for the family’s consumption, he made a living going from one village to the other, distilling the fruits small growers and families would have harvested from their garden.

The study was conducted for six years in the grapevine field collection of the National Institute of Horticultural Research in Skierniewice (Poland, latitude 51.9627 N, longitude 20.1666 E). Sour rot was severe in three seasons with abundant rainfall during the berry ripening stage. The number of wine and table cultivars in particular classes of resistance (mean value for three years) was as follows: very little or little—9 (wine) and 9 (table), medium—9 (wine) and 3 (table), high or very high—10 (wine) and 13 (table). The severity of bunch sour rot was positively correlated with single berry weight (moderate or weak correlation), bunch density and single bunch weight (very weak or weak correlation), and negatively correlated with thickness of berry skin (strong correlation) and the time of the beginning of veraison (weak correlation). Cultivars that were characterized by such agrobiological and ecological features as easy detachment of the berry from the pedicel, sensitivity to berry skin cracking, frequent damage to the skin by insects, and sensitivity to sunburn, were more heavily exposed to sour rot.
