Grapevine Genetic Engineering

  • Chapter

Abstract

Genetic engineering is a powerful tool for plant improvement. Genes cloned from virtually any biological organism can be inserted singly or in combination into a plant. This allows for targeted improvement of elite cultivars, insertion of genes outside the usual gene pool of a species, and study of gene function. Numerous horticultural and agronomic crops have been genetically engineered worldwide. Already in some commercial markets are insect resistant maize and cotton, herbicide resistant soybeans and maize, and virus resistant papaya and summer squash, for example (Ahl Goy and Duesing, 1995; Dunwell, 1999).
