providing healthy food and protecting sources from pollution has been one of the concerns of human societies and decision – making centers so that protecting food from pollution, detecting sources of pollution and measuring them become important. because of nutritive and political significance of grape in this area, extensive use of leaf and fruit of this plant, developing urban areas around gr...

Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) is an economically important virus disease affecting wine grapes (Vitis vinifera L.), but little is known about its effect on wine chemistry and sensory composition of wines. In this study, impacts of GLD on fruit yield, berry quality and wine chemistry and sensory features were investigated in a red wine grape cultivar planted in a commercial vineyard. Own-root...

Sucrose is commonly used for sweetening berry products. During processing and storage of berry products containing added sucrose, sucrose is inverted to glucose and fructose. We have previously shown that postprandial glycaemic response induced by intact sucrose is attenuated when sucrose is consumed with berries rich in polyphenols. It is not known how inversion of sucrose affects glycaemic re...

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 amon...

Individual lines of Vitis vinifera Barbera and Chardonnay were obtained by in vitro culture of axillary buds collected from phytoplasma-affected mother plants. The molecular assays did not detect the “flavescence dorée” (FD) phytoplasma in the 66 lines tested after 6-9 months of culture, while the “bois noir”-associated phytoplasma was detected in 22 out of 50 lines. Despite the observed ineffi...

This study was carried out to determine ability of secondary buds winter freezing in two Vitis species viz. vinifera L. and labrusca In 2016 2017, one genotype V. were sampled at 3 different periods during dormant period. The one-year-old shoots obtained from vineyards the on 4th, 5th 6th nodes has been used for test. For test, DTA (Differantial Thermal Analyses) methods test started +4 oC temp...

Red muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia Michx.) wines are very susceptible to browning and overall loss of color quality during processing and storage. This study examined the effects of three pH levels (2.90, 3.20, 3.80), three sulfur dioxide levels (25, 50, 75 ppm free SO2), three storage temperatures (20°C, 30°C, 40°C), and three storage times (0, 3, 9 months). A higher pH resulted in a loss...

This study looked at regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) on leafhoppers in the genus Erythroneura (Erythroneura elegantula Osborn, or western grape leafhopper, and Erythroneura variabilis Beamer) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), which are serious pests of cultivated grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in California. RDI is an irrigation strategy that reduces irrigation during a critical point in the phenology o...
