To increase resistance to important grapevine pathogens, Chardonnay was transformed
with a construct containing two antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), Magainin-2 and PGL. Five …

Most cultivars of Vitis vinifera are highly susceptible to several diseases. We sought to
develop disease resistant forms of important cultivars by genetic engineering with an …

Magainins, short peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity in vitro, were assayed
for their ability to confer resistance to pathogens in transgenic grapevines. Embryogenic cell …

Resistance to several major diseases is seriously deficient in most cultivars of Vitis vinifera.
We sought to develop disease-resistant forms of important cultivars by transformation with …

A truncated form of the Ti-plasmid virE2 gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains C58
and A6, and A. vitis strain CG450 was transferred and expressed in somatic embryos of …

Cisgenic engineering involves isolation and modification of genetic elements from the host
genome, which are reinserted to develop plant varieties with improved characteristics. As a …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) was genetically modified with a construct containing a cDNA
insert encoding the stilbene synthase gene (Vst1) from grapevine, under the control of the …

Leaf discs of grapevine cv. Seyval blanc originating from in vitro cultures were transformed
with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA 4404 harbouring the vector pGJ42 carrying …

The vast majority of wine proteins have recently been identified as pathogenesis-related
(PR) proteins. During the growing season, these proteins are expressed in developmentally …

Embryo cultures of the grape rootstock, Richter 110, were generated and subsequently
transformed via the Agrobacterium process with truncated virE2 genes that were isolated …
