The resistance to crown gall in grape rootstocks was evaluated by inoculating cuttings from 27 grape rootstock varieties with Agrobacterium vitis strain Cheonan 493. Thmors were formed in all varieties of grape rootstocks tested in this study. The symptoms were observed in the stems of all plants tested including '196-17' and '41B'. Based on the measurement of tumor weight on the stems of grape rootstocks, '779P' was found to be higbly susceptible to crown gall. While some varieties such as 'Gloire', '140R', '101-14M', '3309C', and '333EM' were found to be relatively resistance to crown gall. Varieties such as '99R', '1447P', 'Rupestris du lot', 'll0R', 'Freedom', and '41B' were also found to be susceptibl~ to crown gall. Other~ varieties including 'l103P', 'Teleki. 5C', '420A', 'Golia', and '5BB' were found to be moderately susceptible.

To evaluate the resistance to crown gall in grape rootstocks, cuttings from twenty seven grape rootstocks were inoculated with Agrobacterium vitis Cheonan 493 and size of galls from grapevines was measured in a greenhouse. Tumors were formed in all varieties of grape rootstocks tested in this study and no grape rootstock variety was immune to crown gall. Tumors were found on the stems of all plants tested in '196-17'and '41B' Based on measuring size and weight of galls formedon the stem of grape rootstocks, '779P' was extremely susceptible to crown gall. Some varieties such as 'Gloire', '140R', '101-l4M', '3309C', and '333EM' found to be resistant, while '99R', '1447P', 'Rupestris du lot', '110R', 'Freedom', and '41B'were susceptible and '1103P', '5C', '420A', 'Golia', and '5BB' were moderately susceptible to crown gall.

In bioreactor cultures of plants, inoculum density is an important factor affecting growth and proliferation of the plantlets. To maximize shoot growth and proliferation of grape rootstock '5BB' in bioreactors, inoculum density varied at 15, 30, 45 and 60 single nodes in a 3-liter scale balloon type bioreactor, respectively and cultured for 40 days. Results suggested that the growth and the photosynthesis of the plantlet were greatly affected by inoculum density in the bioreactor. The inoculum density of 45 nodes resulted in the greatest growth (910.4 mg/shoot FW, 764.4 mg/root FW) followed by 30 nodes. $CO_2$ assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate of the plantlet were also highest at the inoculum density of 45 nodes. Significant reduces in shoot and root growth (426.5 mg/shoot FW, 248.4 mg/root FW) were observed at the inoculum density of 60 nodes. When the inoculum density decreased by 15 nodes, plantlets were malformed due to hyperhydricity, resulting in the highest transpiration rate and the lowest $CO_2$ assimilation rate. The plantlets stressed by the inoculum density at 15 nodes and 60 nodes showed larger number and irregular shape of stomata compared to the plantlets inoculated with 45 nodes.

Grapevines will experience various types of winter damage. Some winter damages are caused by mechanical injury, freezing temperatures or poor vine vigor. This research was conducted to find out the appropriate control methods through selection of resistant rootstocks and improvement of overwintering methods for the control of crown gall disease on 'Kyoho' grape. The crown gall symptoms were not found when three stock plants of grapevine SO4, 5BB and 3306 were inoculated with $10^4cfu/ml$ of Agrobacterium vitis strains (YK2823, YK3312, LMG259, HKA234). But when they were inoculated with higher concentration $(10^6 cfu/ml)$ of A. vitis, irrespective of stocks plants, crown galls were formed all of them and the gall size was much smaller than that of kyoho. Three stock plants were selected as resistant based on above mentioned. Covering trunks and branches with rice straw and insulating coverlet was the most effective method for prevention of crown gall disease. This treatment minimized the ambient temperature changes on grapevine trees during winter season to $9.6^{\circ}C$ and the normal plant growth was due to the absence of freezing injury.
