Vitis amurensis, the Amur grape, is a species of grape native to the Asian continent. Its name comes from the Amur Valley in Russia and China.
It is very resistant to frost, but is not tolerant to drought. Selections vary, but as a species it has strong resistance to anthracnose and ripe rot, and moderately strong resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew.
[edit] Uses
By hybridization with the European wine grape (Vitis vinifera), several cultivars resistant to low temperatures have been produced, such as "Zarja severa" (Northern dawn), Severny and Rondo.
[edit] Chemistry
The oligostilbenes amurensin A, B,[1] G[2] and H[3] can be found in V. amurensis.
