Erin Galarneau
Grapevine Curator
(315) 787.2413
Overview
Grapes are an important crop grown throughout the USA. As a molecular biologist and curator of the PGRU Grapevine (Vitis) collection. My role is to conserve and distribute from the collection, acquire new vines to add to the collection, document and characterize various traits of the grapevines. My goal is to ensure these resources are available for future generations of researchers and educators. My program utilizes various molecular techniques and phenology to explore the genetic diversity within the collection and to facilitate stakeholder use of the collection. My research at this time is focused on 1) characterizing fruit aromas (both desirable and undesirable), 2) determining cold hardiness of the collection based on current research techniques, and 3) conducting high-throughput pathogenicity assays to determine resistance to several pathogens.
