Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Grapevine is grown on about 1% of the German agricultural area requiring one third
of all fungicides sprayed due to pathogens being introduced within the 19th century. In
spite of this requirement for viticulture a reduction is necessary to improve sustainability. This objective can be achieved by growing fungus resistant grapevine cultivars. The development of new cultivars, however, is very time-consuming, taking 20 to 25 years. In recent years the breeding process could be increased considerably by using marker assisted selection (MAS). Further improvements of MAS applications in grapevine breeding will come along with developing of faster and more cost efficient high-throughput (HT) genotyping methods.
