Smallest seed traces are in embryo rescue varieties like DoVine. The process is described in The Grape Grower. It's too much typing for here.

Steve,

Yes, seedless grapes typically produce viable pollen. Lon Rombough is the grape breeding expert & will likely address your other question on this list or you can contact him directly.

Are you thinking of developing some new seedless cultivars for the East?

Do seedless grape cultivars produce pollen for crossing them with other cultivars? Also, what are some cultivars of seedless grape that produce absolutely under-developed, inviable seed (not just most of the time: consistently).



Thanks,
