  • 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: PP14773
    Abstract: This new grape plant ‘l3-21-12’ is new and different because of its unusual shape, late ripening and very large berry size. It differs from the ‘Thompson Seedless’ variety, from which it descends, by having a much larger berry size, berries with a tougher skin and looser cluster. It somewhat resembles the ‘Calmeria’ variety, from which it also descends, by having a seedless berry and larger berry size upon application of exogenous gibberellic acid.

  • 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.
