Abstract

Woody perennials, a group that includes most fruit, nut, and timber crops, are particularly difficult to manipulate genetically. Because genetic gains in these species are made slowly, if at all, by conventional plant breeding methods, such crops stand to benefit significantly from genetic transformation. In grape (Vitis spp.), new cultivars are not only difficult to produce, but in the case of wine cultivars, breeders face the additional obstacle of commercial acceptability. In most wine-producing regions, ancient cultivars are economically well entrenched and quite resistant to displacement. In this context, the prospect of directed modification by transformation of specific traits in existing cultivars has tremendous appeal, and it is not surprising that most research groups concerned with grape improvement are working toward this goal.
