The nng nematode, Cnconenwlla xenoplax, has been reported to depress the vigor and yields of grapevines in Europe, California, Washington, and Michigan. Population densities of 500 C. xenoplax per kg of soil have reported to reduce vine yield 10-25% in California. A survey of Oregon vineyards found C. xenoplax in...
The Ti plasmid in Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain 15955 carries two alleles of traR that regulate conjugative transfer. The first
is a functional allele, called traR, that is transcriptionally induced by the opine octopine. The second, trlR, is a nonfunctional,
dominant-negative mutant located in an operon that is inducible by the...

The improvement of the agricultural and wine-making qualities of the grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is hampered by adherence to traditional varieties, the recalcitrance of this plant to genetic modifications, and public resistance to genetically modified organism (GMO) technologies. To address these challenges, we developed an RNA virus-based vector for the introduction...
