The patent (Publication Number: US11871721B2) discloses a method for producing a grapevine with specific characteristics through breeding. The method involves breeding a non-perfect-flowered, bunch grapevine with white fruit due to a non-VvMybA1 mutation with a white-fruited, perfect-flowered grapevine. The resulting grapevine offspring is then bred to obtain a white-fruited, perfect-flowered grapevine with white fruit attributed to the non-VvMybA1 mutation. The method allows for the production of grapevines with desired traits through controlled breeding processes.

Furthermore, the patent details various aspects of the breeding process, including the specific grapevine varieties involved in the breeding, the methods of breeding such as hybridization, cross-pollination, and self-pollination, as well as the reproduction of the resulting grapevines through different techniques like seed propagation, cutting, grafting, air layering, or tissue culture. Additionally, the patent extends the application of the method beyond grapevine production to the creation of commodity plant products. These products can include whole grapes, raisins, wine, juice, fruit leather, paste, puree, freeze-dried fruits, nutraceutical preparations, jam, or jelly, showcasing the versatility and potential commercial applications of the patented method in the agricultural industry.
