Abstract

Resistance to anthracnose and to white rot in 56 accessions of 13 Chinese wild Vitis species, V. amurensis, V. quinquangularis, V. romanetii, V. adstricta, V. pseudoreticulata, V. piazezkii, V. davidii, V. davidii var. cyanocarpa, V. liubanensis, V. qinlingensis, V. bashanica, V. yeshanensis and V. hankockii was evaluated under natural conditions in 1996-1998. All 56 accessions and the 13 species showed resistance to anthracnose. All nine accessions of V. quinquangularis, and one accession each of V. romanetii, V. adstricta and V. pseudoreticulata exhibited susceptibility to white rot; the remaining 44 accessions (78.57 %) and the other 9 species presented resistant to grape white rot. Two V. vinifera cultivars (‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ and ‘Chardonnay’) were susceptible to anthracnose and highly susceptible to white rot. The r-value of susceptibility indices between anthracnose and white rot in the 56 accessions is insignificant. In Chinese wild grapes, the mechanisms for producing resistance to both diseases would be very different, but inheritance of resistance to these two diseases in a certain cross is somewhat related by molecular data.
