Grapevine Biotechnology

Embryogenic grapevine cell suspension

Two thirds of the agricultural production value in Rhineland-Palatinate is generated by special crops, above all viticulture, which accounts for over 60% of the German wine-planted acreage.

The "Grapevine Biotechnology" research group aims to support the competitiveness and future potential of the wine industry in Rhineland-Palatinate through research projects and specific services in the field of viticulture. The application of molecular biological and biotechnological methods and in vitro-culture techniques form the basis for the development of new problem-solving approaches for controlling vine diseases.
