“…Resistance toward GFLV has been reported in some Middle Eastern cultivars of V. vinifera, other Vitis species, and muscadines (Becker 1989, Jimenez Diaz and Goheen 1991, Walker and Meredith 1990, Walker et al 1985. However, few of these conclusions appear to have been examined in subsequent work, or, in some cases, have not been confirmed by subsequent studies (Esmenjaud and Bouquet 2009, Staudt and Kassemeyer 1990, stressing the value of multiple-site vineyard trials. Some studies of GFLV resistance involving graft inoculation, micrografting, or nematode inoculations in pots have appeared to reveal differences among cultivars with regard to infectivity in the short term (Becker 1989, Becker and Sopp 1990, Boubals and Pistre 1978, Staudt and Kassemeyer 1990, Staudt 1997, Walker et al 1985, only to have these cultivars become infected in longer-term studies (Bouquet et al 2000, Esmenjaud and Bouquet 2009, indicating that they are not resistant to virus replication.…”
