Abstract

North American Vitis spp. provide disease resistance genes, but also bring unique and sometimes undesirable wine sensory attributes to new varieties. The VitisGen2 project's grape quality team, led by Gavin Sacks, is discovering DNA markers linked to flavor attributes to help breeders select for grape and wine quality.
