Abstract

Europe’s first field trial of gene-edited vines began in northern Italy on 30 September 2024. Developed by EdiVite, a spinoff from the University of Verona, these Chardonnay vines have undergone gene inactivation to enable them to better defend themselves against downy mildew, a major fungal disease. The trial is being conducted on university land, with plans to expand to another site in the Veneto region. Researchers aim to gather initial data by 2025, with the potential for experimental winemaking in 2026.

意大利测试首批用于酿酒的基因编辑葡萄树

2024 年 9 月 30 日，欧洲首次基因编辑葡萄田间试验在意大利北部开始。这些霞多丽葡萄藤由维罗纳大学的衍生公司EdiVite开发，经过基因失活处理，能够更好地抵御霜霉病（一种主要的真菌疾病）。试验在大学的土地上进行，计划扩大到威尼托大区的另一个地方。研究人员的目标是在 2025 年之前收集初步数据，并有可能在 2026 年进行试验性酿酒。
