Abstract
Shoot tips of ‘Stanley’ plum were multiplied 10 times per month on MS inorganic salts with (in mg/liter) thiamine-HCl (1.0), nicotinic acid (1.0), pyridoxine-HC1 (1.0), myo-inositol (10.0), sucrose (30,000), agar (7,000), and BA (1.1). Sufficient rooting response occurred on this medium (altered by deleting BA and lowering sucrose to 15 g/liter) with 0.5-2.5 mg/liter IBA for 5 weeks or 2.0-6.1 mg/liter IBA for 3 weeks. Plant survival ranged from 57 to 93% 10 weeks after removal from in vitro culture conditions.
Since the late 19th century when grape breeding began at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, a major goal has been to combine certain fruit attributes of Vitis vinifera L. table grapes, such as seedlessness, crisp texture and adherent skin, with some of the vegetative characters of native American hybrid (V. labruscana, Bailey) grape cultivars such as disease resistance and winter cold hardiness. Crisp texture has been one of the more elusive goals. Of the 42 table grape cultivars released by the Experiment Station (2), only one seeded cultivar, ‘Alden’, combines an adherent skin and crisp texture. ‘Remaily Seedless’ combines seedlessness (stenospermocarpy), an adherent skin and crisp berry texture with adaptive traits favorable to northeastern North American viticulture.
Abstract
‘Einset Seedless’ is an early maturing, red, seedless table grape (Fig. 1) released by the Dept. of Horticultural Sciences, New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, N.Y. It follows the previous release (2) of 43 table grape and 2 wine grape cultivars since the onset of grape breeding at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in the late 19th century.
Abstract
‘Melody’ is a late midseason, white wine grape (Fig. 1) which produces a vinifera-type wine with varietal character. In addition, ‘Melody’ does not require cluster thinning and is moderately resistant to powdery mildew [Uncinula necator (Schw.) Burr.]. It is the 3rd wine grape cultivar to be named by the Dept. of Horticultural Sciences, Geneva, N.Y., and follows the release of ‘Cayuga White’ (1) and ‘Horizon’ (2). It is the first in a series of wine grape releases from this station to be given a name with a musical theme.
