The development of molecular markers for Vitis riparia to use in interspecific breeding for<br />

freezing tolerance<br />

One approach to incorporate freezing tolerance in a V. vinifera background is to cross vinifera<br />

grapes <strong>with</strong> the wild grape V. riparia. Ideally, one would obtain the genetic basis for freezing<br />

tolerance from the riparia but otherwise have minimal riparia genetics in the selected progeny.<br />

To speed up this process it would be desirable to have (1) a method that can analyze the<br />

(relative) freezing tolerance on young (
