2023 The Corliss Knapp Engle Scholarship in Horticulture

Investigating Interactions in Drought and Grapevine Trunk Disease Resistance in Grapevine
Sinclair will conduct research in Bordeaux, France, to better understand the physiological traits that enhance drought tolerance and fungal pathogen (Esca) resistance in grapevine. Facing environmental and pathogenic stressors, including complications due to drought, France’s vineyards provide ideal fieldwork locations. Sinclair’s findings will be beneficial in California, the leading US wine producing region. Cross comparison of projects conducted in each location will support a diverse, global profile and provide a framework for innovative viticultural solutions.
