Key Findings
- Researchers at Bursa Uludağ University explored the potential of wild Vitis species in grapevine breeding
- Wild Vitis species from China and North America show strong resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses
- These wild species can be used to develop new grape cultivars that are resilient and require fewer chemical treatments
