Abstract

This paper aims to give an overview of how molecular biology relates to grapevine research and viticulture. In it we explain some basic premises and techniques of molecular biology with the aim of introducing a wider readership to this rapidly developing field. Current and potential uses of molecular biology for research and practical viticulture are presented. These include molecular cloning, analysis of gene expression, grapevine transformation, marker-assisted breeding, cultivar identification and pest and disease diagnostics. A glossary of terms and a list of web sites for further information are also provided.
