Abstract

Virus thermotherapy of a clonally selected, high yielding but leaf-roll infected Muscadelle selection resulted in significantly greater yield and vegetative growth. There were more berries per bunch and heavier bunches in each year and a greater weight of annual prunings of heat treated propagules in 3 of the 4 years reported. No consistent differences in selected maturity components were observed.
