Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) diversity richness results from a complex domestication history over multiple historical periods. Here, we used whole-genome resequencing to elucidate different aspects of its recent evolutionary history. Our support model in which central event grapevine was followed by postdomestication hybridization with local wild genotypes, leading the presence an introgression signature modern wine varieties across Western Europe. The strongest signal associated subset...
SummaryGenetic variability among 27 clones of the Portuguese olive cultivar 'Verdeal-Transmontana' was investigated using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR), and microsatellite (SSR) markers. The ten RAPD primers amplified 153 reproducible fragments, which 26 were polymorphic. ISSR 173 65 four SSR markers identified 14 alleles (3.5 per locus). fingerprints used to assess genetic between clones. fell into two major genotypic groups, with one cluster...
There are thousands of ancient grapevine varieties in Europe, each one having a high level intra-varietal diversity with regard to important economic traits (yield, soluble solids content, acidity, anthocyanins, and others). However, this potential has become exposed process genetic erosion since the middle last century. The main objective work is present experimental strategies for conservation utilization diversity. A concrete example given about actions performed Portugal 1978. Two...
Background and Aims The evaluation of genotype-by-environment interaction the genotypic correlations between important economic traits are two relevant issues methodology grapevine selection that remain insufficiently explored. aim this study is to provide methodological tools to: (i) assess (ii) evaluate genetic their practical impacts on selection. Methods Results A multi-environment analysis for each trait multi-trait analyses were applied correlation pairs traits, respectively. presence...
Clonal selection allows control of virus diseases and genotypes on agronomic, viticultural or enological criteria. has the major drawback that it impoverishes genetic diversity exposes growers to environmental instability clones (genotype X environment interaction). become almost unique way propagating plant material for vineyards, hence threatening grapevine. For grapevine varieties, some is maintained in institutional collections. However, this conservation insufficiently developed,...
Since 1978 we have developed methods for mass and clonal selection of grapevine well adapted to the conditions Portuguese viticulture. The most remarkable innovation this methodology is establishment large experimental populations clones in which good estimates yield heritability genetic gain can be obtained. aim present paper clarify some methodological aspects such as (1) ideal composition structure (2) application a number varieties, order maximize rate improvement. At point out following...
The genetic diversity accumulated over centuries within ancient grapevine cultivars is the raw material for any selection. greater intravarietal variability, will be gains obtainable from selection and capacity of cultivar to respond present future challenges a viticulture in which growing valued. Therefore, it should efficiently evaluated, involves establishment field trials with powerful experimental designs fitting appropriate models data analysis. key point perform well-planned accurate...
Background and Aims The development of an efficient clonal selection process requires the study genotype-by-environment (G × E) interaction. This work aims to evaluate variability G E interaction among genotypes identify less sensitive ones. Methods Results approach involves fitting mixed models yield data taking into account correlation induced by repeated measurements same plot over years. A measure for comparative evaluation is proposed [Interaction Sensitivity (IS)], based on variance...
High temperatures and extreme drought are increasingly more frequent in Portugal, which represents a strong threat to viticulture certain regions of the country. These multifactorial abiotic stresses threatening viticultural areas worldwide, problem can hardly be overcome only by changing cultural practices. This scenario has raised major challenge for plant scientists find ways adapt existing varieties new conditions without loss their characteristic flavors, yield, associated varietal...
Conservation of intra-varietal genetic variability is a crucial strategy to preserve traditional viticulture and face future challenges. can be performed through two processes: (1) conservation without other immediate objectives; (2) which simultaneously ensures the evaluation important quantitative traits (such as yield, must quality traits, tolerance abiotic stresses). The second permits quantification for selection superior group genotypes (polyclonal selection). Based on results obtained...
ABSTRACT Grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most significant crops in world. Today’s richness grapevine diversity results from a complex domestication history over multiple historical periods. Here, we employed whole genome resequencing to elucidate different aspects recent evolutionary this crop. Our support model which central event was followed by post-domestication hybridization with local wild genotypes, leading presence an introgression signature modern wine varieties across...
Background and Aims. In ancient grapevine varieties, the experimental design of field trials is crucial to providing a reliable evaluation quantitative traits. The main purposes this study are demonstrate benefits resolvable row-column (RCD) for quantifying intravarietal variability performing polyclonal selection compare efficiency fully partially replicated designs implement latter preliminary analysis that variability. Methods Results. Linear mixed models were fitted yield data obtained...
Drought and heat waves deriving from climate change have been affecting grapevine plants altering wine characteristics in the past years, effects are expected to get worst. Innovative approaches address this problem undertaken several varieties, that consist exploring intravarietal variability identify genotypes tolerant abiotic stress. Such is case of variety Arinto, where an experimental population 165 clones installed according a resolvable row-column design with 6 replicates, was scanned...
Abstract Aim To find if CAC in non-gated CT scans performed OHCA survivors could be a good predictor of coronary artery disease and help select those who effectively require CA. Assess the rate reporting. Methods Single-center, retrospective study without STEMI. We selected chest as part an etiological underwent CAG due to clinical, ECG or echo suspicion ACS. An investigator blinded report, evaluated quantitatively (with Agatston score) qualitatively (absent, mild, moderate severe). Results...
Abstract Introduction As transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly relevant for patients with severe symptomatic stenosis, having a reliable procedure specific risk-prediction tool paramount to provide high-quality care. Surgical scores as the EuroScore II and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score have been widely used identify high surgical risk in whom percutaneous treatment might be more favorable. However, current literature lacks consensual predictive model...
