The patent (Publication Number: US11871721B2) discloses a method for producing a grapevine with specific characteristics through breeding techniques. The method involves breeding a non-perfect-flowered, white-fruited grapevine with a white-fruited, perfect-flowered grapevine to obtain grapevine offspring with desired traits. Subsequent breeding of the black-fruited grapevine offspring results in a white-fruited, perfect-flowered grapevine with white fruit due to a specific mutation. The method allows for the production of grapevines with unique characteristics by utilizing specific grapevine varieties in the breeding process.
Furthermore, the patent details the specific grapevine varieties that can be used in the breeding process, including Muscat of Alexandria, Chardonnay, Thompson Seedless, and various others. The method also outlines different breeding techniques that can be employed, such as hybridization, cross-pollination, self-pollination, or open-pollination. Additionally, the patent extends the application of the method beyond grapevine production to the creation of commodity plant products like grapes, raisins, wine, juice, and other related products. By reproducing the white-fruited grapevine through various methods like seed propagation or tissue culture, the method enables the production of a range of plant-based products with specific characteristics derived from the initial grapevine breeding process.
