Abstract
The grape is the most widely grown fruit crop in the world and research into tissue culture of Vitis species has been ongoing since the 1940’s [10]. At first grapes proved recalcitrant but successful micropropagation of the cultivar’ sylvaner Reisling’ was reported in 1978 [8]. Micropropagation of grape vines has been used to produce pathogen free stock [1] and also to produce large numbers of plants when a new cultivar is being introduced to the industry [7]. There is little doubt that tissue culture will contribute to the future genetic improvement of grape vines [11].
