  • Publication number: 20190335636
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘SV22-88e-124’ particularly characterized by its amber colored berries with sweet, aromatic flavor similar to spun sugar. Additionally, berries of the new cultivar are very responsive to applications of exogenous gibberellic acid, producing looser clusters with larger berries compared to untreated clusters.

  • Publication number: 20190029155
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘SV28-100-849’ particularly characterized by its ellipsoidal shaped, red skinned berries which are large, sweet and have very firm texture. Additionally, flower clusters and berries are very responsive to exogenous gibberellic acid application. When applied at full flowering, gibberellic acid reduces fruit set, producing loose, well-filled clusters. Gibberellic acid applied to clusters after berry set increases the berry size considerably, in some cases approximately doubling berry size over when combined with trunk girdling.

  • Patent number: PP14865
    Abstract: This new grape plant named ‘15-97-77’ is distinct because of its unusual shape, very firm texture and very large berry size. Berries of the new cultivar are very responsive to applications of exogenous gibberellic acid, almost doubling in size in comparison to untreated fruit. At full maturity in mid-September, berries are extremely firm and sweet.

  • Patent number: PP15033
    Abstract: This new grape plant ‘13-29-281’ is new and different because of its very high sugar level at ripening, its very large berry size and good storage characteristics. It differs from other late ripening grapes such as ‘Crimson Seedless’ (not patented) by being much more productive when spur pruned, having less vigorous vegetative growth and having a much larger berry when gibberellic acid is applied to the vine. It differs from the ‘3-14-71 grapevine’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,297) by having a larger berry with crisper berry flesh and from the ‘Ralli Seedless’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,865) by being much later in ripening with a more elongate berry.
