tabulations of presumed viable seed, ARS 99-72 and ‘Bluecrop’ both had seed quality rated as good and good/fair, whereas for ‘Duke’ crosses, only good-fair seed quality was recorded. Seed from these crosses was generally viable in appearance but reduced in

multivariate statistical analysis methods [e.g., PLS-DA] to screen differences in grape metabolites among various rootstock combinations and analyze their metabolic pathways, and explored patterns in metabolite accumulation to analyze grape seed quality and the
