The analysis of the first plant genomes provided unexpected evidence for genome duplication events in species that had previously been considered as true diploids on basis their genetics. These polyploidization may have important consequences evolution, particular radiation and adaptation modulation functional capacities. Here we report a high-quality draft sequence grapevine (Vitis vinifera) obtained from highly homozygous genotype. is fourth one produced so far flowering plants, second...
Cytokinins are hormones that regulate cell division and development. As a result of lack specific mutants biochemical tools, it has not been possible to study the consequences cytokinin deficiency. Cytokinin-deficient plants expected yield information about processes in which cytokinins limiting that, therefore, they might regulate. We have engineered transgenic Arabidopsis overexpress individually six different members oxidase/dehydrogenase (AtCKX) gene family undertaken detailed phenotypic...
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...
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera) is one of the most important and ancient horticultural plants in world. Domesticated about 8–10,000 years ago Eurasian region, grapevine evolved from its wild relative (V. sylvestris) into very diverse heterozygous cultivated forms. In this work we study genetic structure a large sample varieties, to interpret wide diversity at morphological molecular levels link it cultivars utilization, putative geographic origin historical events. We analyzed...
Grapevine is a very important crop species that mainly cultivated worldwide for fruits, wine and juice. Identification of the genetic bases performance traits through association mapping studies requires precise knowledge available diversity how this structured varies across whole genome. An 18k SNP genotyping array was evaluated on panel Vitis vinifera cultivars we obtained data set with no missing values total 10207 SNPs 783 different genotypes. The average inter-SNP spacing ~47 kbp, mean...
The mountainous region between the Caucasus and China is considered to be center of domestication for grapevine. Despite importance Central Asia in history grape growing, information about extent distribution genetic variation this limited comparison wild cultivated grapevines from around Mediterranean basin. principal goal work was survey diversity relationships among germplasm Caucasus, Asia, basin collectively understand gene flow, possible events adaptive introgression.A total 1378...
As for many crops, new high-quality grapevine varieties requiring less pesticide and adapted to climate change are needed. In perennial species, breeding is a long process which can be speeded up by gaining knowledge about quantitative trait loci linked agronomic traits variation. However, due the juvenile period of these establishing numerous highly recombinant populations high resolution mapping both costly time-consuming. Genome wide association studies in germplasm panels an alternative...
The first high quality draft of the grape genome sequence has just been published. This is a critical step in accessing all genes this species and increases chances exploiting natural genetic diversity through association genetics. However, our basic knowledge extent allelic variation within still not sufficient. Towards goal, we constructed nested core collections (G-cores) to capture simple repeat (SSR) cultivated compartment (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sativa) from world's largest germplasm...
A parentage and a paternity-based approach were tested for estimation of pollen-mediated gene flow in wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. silvestris), wind-pollinated species occurring Mediterranean Europe southwestern Asia. For this purpose, 305 seedlings collected 2 years at locations France from 4 female individuals 417 prospected Italy analyzed using 20 highly polymorphic microsatellite loci. Their profiles compared with database consisting 3203 accessions the Institut National de...
Abstract Background Cultivated grapevines, Vitis vinifera subsp. sativa , evolved from their wild relative, V. sylvestris . They were domesticated in Central Asia the absence of powdery mildew fungus, Erysiphe necator which is thought to have originated North America. However, resistance has previously been discovered two Asian cultivars and Chinese species. Results A set 380 unique genotypes evaluated with data generated 34 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The included 306 cultivars,...
Abstract To cope with the challenges facing agriculture, speeding-up breeding programs is a worthy endeavor, especially for perennial species such as grapevine, but requires understanding genetic architecture of target traits. go beyond mapping quantitative trait loci in bi-parental crosses, we exploited diversity panel 279 Vitis vinifera L. cultivars planted 5 blocks vineyard. This was phenotyped over several years 127 traits including yield components, organic acids, aroma precursors,...
Genetic structuring and parentage analysis were performed on a very large database comprising 2786 unique multilocus genotypes [20 nuclear simple sequence repeats (nSSRs)] of Vitis vinifera L. ssp. sativa (DC.) Hegi with special focus Tuscan cultivars to reveal the history cultivar Sangiovese, most important Italy. For this cultivar, authors also analyzed clones synonyms, investigating its genetic origin intracultivar diversity. Known synonyms ‘Sangiovese’ confirmed new ones revealed outside...
Several types of grape varieties have been traditionally considered under the generic term <i>Malvasia,</i> often with a complementing name related to geographic origin. We examined 56 Malvasia accessions presently maintained and 14 introduced previously but no longer at Domaine de Vassal (INRA) collection. Accessions were analyzed by ampelography and/or 20 SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers, allowing us individualize 49 propose list synonyms for 37 varieties. Eight are unique collection...
Mutants have proven to be a key resource for functional genomic studies in model annual plant species. In perennial species where mutants are difficult generate and screen, spontaneous somatic variants represent unique understand the genetic control of complex developmental patterns. The morphological histological characterization six Vitis vinifera L. that display four different abnormal phenotypes flower development described here. A phenotype reiterated reproductive meristems (RRM), with...
