In April 2017, Dr. Deluc made the acquisition of new plant material for genetic studies in grapevines developed in Australia. Since then, we have been able to set up all the critical steps for maintaining the microvine in tissue culture and in greenhouse conditions. He discussed the potentials of the microvine for genetic studies, the current projects in the lab using the microvine, new research directions, potential collaborations, and its applications with new breeding techniques like gene editing.

Presenter: Dr. Laurent Deluc, Associate Professor, Dept. of Horticulture, OSU
