Sixty years ago, in 1962, major changes were made to the research directions of the research station, including an expanded focus on viticulture, along with renaming of the facility to the Horticulture Research Station. In 1963, a second laboratory was built on the campus of the Waite Agricultural Research Institute in Adelaide, South Australia which became the headquarters of the CSIRO Division of Horticultural Research in 1967, encompassing the research activities of both centres.</p><p>Prior to 1962, the CSIRO's viticultural research portfolio was focused mainly on various aspects of the growth and management of Sultana vines for driedgrape production. With the expansion of the research facilities, however, and wider recognition of the potential for wine industry development, CSIRO's focus shifted to include an increased emphasis on winegrape research, corresponding with the renewed interest, at that time, in winegrape production along the River Murray.</p><p>Many of these discoveries have the potential to underpin the development of improved grapevine germplasm and management techniques to meet the future challenges faced by the Australian viticultural industries.</p><p>This special edition contains 11 articles that have been reviewed through the peer-review process of the <i>Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research</i>. The articles reflect some of the major areas of viticultural research that have been undertaken by CSIRO over the last 10–20 years, including precision viticulture, grapevine breeding and genetics, rootstock physiology, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress, the regulation of berry development and the genetic regulation of the biosynthesis of grape-derived flavour and aroma compounds.</p><p>Thanks to the Journal's editorial panel and reviewers for making this issue possible.

Initially, CSIRO played a pivotal role in the selection of high-yielding Sultana clones which contributed over half the total Australian grape crop in the 1970s used for wine- and driedgrape production. It was also responsible for importation and evaluation of the Salt Creek (syn. Ramsey) rootstock which provided tolerance to root-knot nematodes and salinity and became the most widely adopted rootstock for the emerging Australian wine industry in the 1980–1990s. The CSIRO has also successfully bred or released several new grape cultivars. While the adoption rate for the CSIRO wine cultivars has been limited, CSIRO-selected cultivars dominate the Australian driedgrape industry, while CSIRO-released cultivars continue to play an important role in the Australian tablegrape industry. In the 1990s, CSIRO commenced the application of molecular biology techniques for grapevine germplasm improvement. Researchers from CSIRO were some of the first in the world to successfully regenerate transgenic grapevines and demonstrate the potential of this technology to produce low-browning driedgrapes and mildew-resistant premium winegrapes. More recently, the focus has shifted to the mapping of resistance loci from wild grape species and their introgression into new winegrape scions to provide resistance to mildews and new rootstocks to provide durable resistance to rootknot nematodes and phylloxera. Finally, this review considers some future challenges faced by the Australian grape industries and how these might be addressed using conventional or molecular breeding strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":8582,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research","volume":"28 2","pages":"177-195"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajgw.12552","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48017857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
