Abstract The domestication of the Eurasian grape ( Vitis vinifera ssp. sativa ) from its wild ancestor sylvestris has long been claimed to have occurred in Transcaucasia where greatest genetic diversity is found and very early archaeological evidence, including pips artefacts a ‘wine culture’, excavated. Whether or nearby Taurus Zagros Mountains, it hypothesized that this wine culture spread southwards eventually westwards around Mediterranean basin, together with transplantation cultivated...
We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated wild accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove separation of grape ecotypes caused by continuous habitat fragmentation. Then, occurred concurrently about 11,000 years ago in Western Asia Caucasus to yield table wine grapevines. The domesticates dispersed into Europe early farmers, introgressed ancient western ecotypes, subsequently diversified along human migration trails muscat unique...
The impact of water deficit and salt stress on two important wine grape cultivars, Chardonnay Cabernet Sauvignon, was investigated. Plants were exposed to increasing salinity over a 16 d time period. Measurements stem potentials, shoot leaf lengths indicated that more tolerant these stresses than Sauvignon. Shoot tips harvested every 8 for proteomic analysis using trichloroacetic acid/acetone extraction protocol two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Proteins stained with Coomassie Brilliant...
We report the analysis and annotation of 146,075 expressed sequence tags from Vitis species. The majority these sequences were derived different cultivars vinifera, comprising an estimated 25,746 unique contig singleton that survey transcription in various tissues developmental stages during biotic abiotic stress. Putatively homologous proteins identified for over 17,752 transcripts, with 1,962 transcripts further subdivided into one or more Gene Ontology categories. A simple structured...
Forages display essentially identical fodder; but ensiling procedures may alter the spectra of forages. The aim this study was to predict forage properties pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) and monitor performance silage calibration models. Crude protein, crude ash, NDF, ADF, ADL were all examined in samples using NIR spectroscopy. High accuracy demonstrated by relative prediction determinant for validation NDF ADF contents forages silages. equations predicted with a...
High concentrations of polyphenols and polysaccharides make it challenging to extract high-quality RNA from grape organs. To determine an optimal protocol for leaves, 15 different methods extraction were evaluated based on cost, time complete the extraction, quality isolated. The addition specific compounds buffer remove is often critical downstream applications such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) microarray hybridization. was assessed using spectrophotometric methods,...
We present here the first large-scale genetic characterization of grape cultivars from Transcaucasia and Anatolia. These regions where wild grapes still grow in nature have been cultivating wine table for thousands years are considered cradles viticulture. Using 12 nuclear microsatellite markers, we genotyped 116 accessions traditional Armenia, Georgia Turkey detected 17 identical genotypes six homonymy cases, mainly within each national germplasm. Neighbour-joining analysis distance showed...
Abstract Background Abiotic stresses, such as water deficit and soil salinity, result in changes physiology, nutrient use, vegetative growth vines, ultimately, yield flavor berries of wine grape, Vitis vinifera L. Large-scale expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were generated, curated, analyzed to identify major genetic determinants responsible for stress-adaptive responses. Although roots serve the first site perception and/or injury many types abiotic stress, EST sequencing root tissues grape...
Anatolia (Asia Minor) is considered to be the cradle of viticulture, but wild grape accessions from this region have not been subjected any genetic analysis. We present first characterization grapes ( Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris ) region. Using 15 nuclear microsatellites, we genotyped 84 collected three Anatolian locations. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean analysis revealed four clusters that partially separated populations. In general, geographically closer...
The Anatolian region of modern-day Turkey is believed to have played an important role in the history grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) domestication and spread. Despite this, rich grape germplasm this virtually uncharacterized genetically. In study, amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP)-based genetic relations accessions belonging 2 economically table varietal groups known as V. 'Misket' (Muscat) 'Parmak' were studied. Thirteen AFLP primer combinations used analyses revealed a total...
Turkey has many valuable genetic resources for pomegranate; however, there have not been studies on the identification and characterization of these important resources. New microsatellite markers were used to characterize a set 78 pomegranate accessions from Turkey. Using six SSR primers, total 41 alleles characterized with an average 4.6 per locus mean probability identity (PI) value 0.366. These data indicated high level polymorphism in germplasm. Five synonymous groups could be detected...
Green bean genotypes collected from eastern Turkey were characterized using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and morphological traits. Among 12 SSR markers, 10 produced successful amplifications revealed DNA polymorphisms that subsequently used to assess genetic relatedness of the genotypes. Based on number alleles generated probability identity values, most informative loci PVGLND5, PVMEIG, PV-ag001, PV-ag004. Probably, due inbreeding nature beans, heterozygosity observed within was low...
Southeast Anatolia is located in close proximity to the center of origin grapes and an important grape producing area Turkey. The location this region for genetic diversity together with its diverse ecological conditions may have led development germplasm that unique region. However, so far little has been done genetically analyze germplasm. In study, we analyzed 55 cultivars originating from six different provinces using 14 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci a number ampeolographic...
Abstract Tomato is among the priority crops of greenhouse cultivation in Turkey and world. One most important fungal diseases tomatoes grey mould. Botrytis cinerea , B. group S pseudocinerea have been reported previously as causes mould disease on tomatoes. The objectives this study were to characterize common population, their virulence levels, identify possible cryptic species occurring Turkey. identified using RPB2 G3PDH HSP60 NEP2 sequences. predominant pathogen was . not isolated. MH69...
Isparta is the most important rose growing center of Turkey. With annual average 65–70 % humidity, 500–600mm rainfall and (-15)-(+38 °C) minimum maximum temperature, it has also suitable ecological conditions for oil growing. The cultivars ecotype Rosa damascena Mill. have been grown by using cutting or two old-suckers many years. As a result this propagation methods, types taken from different genotypic origin were cultivated, rich genetic diversity was created. There no report on...
We conducted simple sequence repeat (SSR) analyses of 15 traditional quince (Cydonia oblonga) cultivars from Anatolian gene sources for molecular characterization and investigation genetic relationships.Three pear two apple were used as references SSR locus data analysis to determine allele profiles between species.Eight loci that developed used, a total 44 alleles found among cultivars.The CH01F02 was have the highest identification probability, while CH04E03 had lowest probability.Analysis...
