چکیده

Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia Michx) are considered as excellent genetic resources for grape breeding programs as they are known for their hardiness and resistance to pests and diseases. However, contrary to popular belief, our study indicated that not all muscadine cultivars are resistant to anthracnose disease. In order to identify a source of genetic tolerance towards anthracnose among muscadine cultivars, a series of in-situ and ex-situ experiments were conducted through strict and sensitive screening processes. Two consecutive years of field evaluation of 54 grape cultivars showed various levels of anthracnose incidence among the cultivars between a scale of 0 (tolerant) to 5 (highly-susceptible). Resistance bioassay by inoculation of different spore densities of Elsinoë ampelina on 40 cultivars presented similar results and was consistent with those obtained from the field test. A real-time PCR analysis was conducted to investigate differences of gene expression between susceptible and tolerant cultivars and to confirm results by phenotypic identification. Expression of genes encoding chalcone synthase, stilbene synthase, polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein, chitinase and lipid transfer-protein was only detected in tolerant cultivars. Resistant muscadine cultivars identified in this study could be excellent candidates for grape disease resistance breeding programs.

Color and Color Stability of Red Wine from Noble (Vitis rotundifolia Michx.) and Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera L.) at Various pH

Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) are the most widely planted grapes in the south and southeast United States due to their suitability in these areas. Most of the commercial muscadine grape crop is used to produce wine. Wine made from suitable cultivars of muscadine grapes possesses a very fruity, unique flavor and aroma that appeals to many people in the South. However, muscadine grape pro...

Identification and Expression Profiles of Six Transcripts Encoding Carboxylesterase Protein in Vitis flexuosa Infected with Pathogens

Plants protect themselves from pathogen attacks via several mechanisms, including hypersensitive cell death. Recognition of pathogen attack by the plant resistance gene triggers expression of carboxylesterase genes associated with hypersensitive response. We identified six transcripts of carboxylesterase genes, Vitis flexuosa carboxylesterase 5585 (VfCXE5585), VfCXE12827, VfCXE13132, VfCXE17159...

CHARACTERIZATION OF RESISTANCE TO PIERCE’S DISEASE IN MUSCADINIA ROTUNDIFOLIA AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFERRING RESISTANCE TO GRAFTED VITIS VINIFERA SCIONS Project Leaders:

Muscadinia rotundifolia is a wild grape native to the Southeast U.S. In field trials, as well as in the wild, this species exhibits strong resistance to Pierce’s disease (PD). Incorporating this resistance into Vitis vinifera production systems in California will require identifying prime breeding material and increasing our understanding of the mechanism of resistance. The first objective of t...
