Recent Trends in Grapevine Genetic Engineering

  • Chapter
Grapevine Molecular Physiology & Biotechnology

In the former edition, genetic engineering was described as a powerful tool for plant breeding and research. In two chapters (Colova-Tsolova et al. 2001, Kikkert et al. 2001), applications to grapevine breeding and genetics, transformation methods, selection and regeneration systems for transgenic grapevines and the current status of grapevine transformation projects were comprehensively described. In addition strategies for disease and stress tolerance, regulatory issues and public perception were presented.
