Objective:
1. Identification of PD resistance genes in Vitis species. 2. Molecular determination PD resistance mechanisms.

Approach:
1. Identify candidate R genes from microarray global gene expression analyses. 2. Cloning and molecular characterization of target genes using in vitro expression system. 3. Develop R gene molecular markers for marker-assisted selection.
