Pierce's disease (PD) is a significant threat to grape cultivation and industry. The disease caused by bacterium Xylella fastidiosa clogs xylem vessels resulting in wilting of the plant. PD-tolerant grape genotypes are believed to produce certain novel components in xylem tissue that help them to combat invading pathogens. Research has been aimed at characterizing the uniquely expressed xylem p...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the physical changes of seven different colored table grape varieties in samples taken at periods until ripening time. The cultivars used study are Alphonse Lavallée, Royal, Tekirdağ Çekirdeksizi, Michael Palieri, Karaerik, Bilecik İrikara and Horoz Karası. Grape were harvested for four weeks (20.08.2019, 27.08.2019, 02.09.2019 09.09.2019) every week app...

Grapevine is one of the most economically important and widely cultivated fruit crop worldwide. With the industrialization and the popular application of cupric fungicides in grape industry, copper stress and copper pollution are also the factors affecting grape production and berry and wine quality. Here, 3,843 transcripts were significantly differently expressed genes in response to Cu stress...

Grape seed extracts are commonly utilized as dietary supplements for their antioxidant properties, even from cancer patients. However, whether these natural extracts interfere with chemotherapeutics utilized in colon cancer treatment is still poorly investigated. The cytotoxicity of extracts from Italia and Palieri cultivars either alone or in combination with oxaliplatin was evaluated in colon...

A nondestructive fluorescence-based technique for evaluating Vitis vinifera L. grape maturity using a portable sensor (Multiplex) is presented. It provides indices of anthocyanins and chlorophyll in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese red grapes and of flavonols and chlorophyll in Vermentino white grapes. The good exponential relationship between the anthocyanin index and the actual anth...

Drosophila suzukii is a new invasive pest that in recent years has become established in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Understanding the level of infestation in potentially susceptible crops is an important first step for planning appropriate management responses. This study was conducted in 2010–2012 to determine the infestation potential of this pest in native Vitis labrusca, F...

Variety is one of the major factors influencing grape and wine aromatic characteristics. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), derived from lipoxygenase-hydroperoxides lyase (LOX-HPL) pathway, are important components for the aromatic quality of grapes and wines. However, the varietal difference regarding GLVs accumulation and related gene expression are poorly studied. This work exhibited that the accu...

Baron Antonio Mendola was devoted to the study of grapevine, applying ampelography and dabbling in crosses between cultivars order select new ones, which Moscato Cerletti, obtained 1869, most interesting. Grillo, one important white Sicily, ascertained be an offspring Catarratto Comune Zibibbo, same parents claimed he used obtain Cerletti. Thus hypothesis synonymy Cerletti Grillo or parentage f...

Nodal explants bearing a single axillary bud, from three cultivars of cultivated grape, viz., `Thompson seedless', `Sonaka' and `Tas-e-Ganesh', were used to initiate shoot cultures on G16 medium containing adenine sulphate, monobasic sodium phosphate, BAP and NAA. Each shoot, developed from an axillary bud, produced a tuft of multiple shoots on a medium containing BAP, calcium pantothenate, mon...
