Journal ArticleDOI
Microsatellite repeats in grapevine reveal DNA polymorphisms when analysed as sequence-tagged sites (STSs).
Mark R. Thomas,N S Scott +1 more
TL;DR: Microsatellite repeat sequences were investigated as sequenced-tagged site (STS) DNA markers to determine the potential for genetic analysis of the grapevine genome, finding high heterozygosity within individual grapevine cultivars and high genetic variation between cultivars, making it a useful marker type for plant genome mapping and genome typing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical origins and genetic diversity of wine grapes.
TL;DR: This article provides a synopsis of what is known about the origin and genetics of grapes and how molecular genetics is helping to understand more about this plant: its evolution, historical development, genetic diversity and potential for genetic improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
White grapes arose through the mutation of two similar and adjacent regulatory genes
Amanda R. Walker,Elizabeth Lee,Jochen Bogs,Debra A. J. McDavid,Mark R. Thomas,Simon P. Robinson +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the white berry allele of VvMYBA2 was inactivated by two non-conservative mutations, one leads to an amino acid substitution and the other to a frame shift resulting in a smaller protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of dwarfism and floral induction with a grape ‘green revolution’ mutation
Paul K. Boss,Mark R. Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: The conversion of tendrils to inflorescences in the mutant demonstrates that the grapevine tendril is a modified inflorescence inhibited from completing floral development by GAs, providing genetic evidence that GAs inhibit flowering in grapevine.
Journal Article
Enrichment of microsatellites from the citrus genome using biotinylated oligonucleotide sequences bound to streptavidin-coated magnetic particles.
TL;DR: A method is described for the rapid isolation of microsatellite sequences using a biotin-labeled oligonucleotide attached to streptavidin-coated magnetic particles that is applicable to any genome and in principle is adaptable to the rapid isolated of both repetitive as well as genic sequences.
