Abstract

Muscadine grapes are native to the southeastern United States where they have been cultivated for more than 400 years. Muscadine grapes possess one of the highest levels of reactive phenolic compounds among fruit crops. Compared to Vitis vinifera, they also contain much higher amounts of chlorophyll pigment within their photosynthetic tissue. They have a high degree of tolerance to pests and diseases than European grapes (V. vinifera). The production of European grapes is virtually impossible in certain parts of the United States, especially in the southeastern region because of the presence of Pierce’s disease. Resistance characteristics of muscadines to bacterial and fungal diseases, such as Pierce’s Disease and Phylloxera, could play an important role in remediating some of the plagues that the grape industry has been facing for years.
