The first group (Control group), second (Tamsulosin third (Grape Seeds Oil 0.2 ml/kg) body weight, fourth Seed 0.4 B.W, fifth ml/kg+ mg/kg, Tamsulosi...

As we reported earlier, Muscat Bailey A (MBA) wine has very low proanthocyanidin (PA) content compared with Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and Merlot wines. Whereas PA concentration in CS was maintained at the maximum level during maceration, that in MBA reached a maximum approximately four days after maceration and drastically decreased thereafter. In this study, the model wine extraction profiles of...

BACKGROUND The phytohormone gibberellic acid (GA3) is widely used in the table grape industry to induce seedlessness in seeded varieties. However, there is a paucity of information concerning the mechanisms by which GAs induce seedlessness in grapes.

This year six crosses for Pierce’s disease (PD) resistant table and raisin grapes using seedless parents were made, resulting in 2,398 ovules and 747 embryos. These crosses were based on Muscadinia and V. tiliifolia sources of resistance. Nineteen seeded crosses consisting of 3,950 emasculations and 49 bagged clusters were made. These crosses were based on V. arizonica, Muscadinia, and southeas...
