Genetic Relationships of Chinese Grape Accessions to European and American Cultivars Assessed by Microsatellite Markers

TLDR
The results showed that all accessions could be divided into three major groups and the clustering pattern was related to the classical ecogeographical grouping: occidentalis, pontica and orientalis, suggesting the positive correlation between the cluster results and the geographical origin of the grape accessions.
Abstract
A total of 45 grape accessions were used to investigate the genetic polymorphism and relationships among Chinese and other European or America grape accessions by microsatellite markers. Eighty-six alleles were detected in 9 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci with an average of 9.6 alleles per locus. Genetic similarity ranged from 0.38 to 0.83 with an average value of 0.58. This indicated sufficient diversity among the accessions. Based on cluster analysis and principal coordinate analysis, the results showed that all accessions could be divided into three major groups and the clustering pattern was related to the classical ecogeographical grouping: occidentalis, pontica and orientalis. Those from the same ecological group could cluster preferentially in most cases into one group, suggesting the positive correlation between the cluster results and the geographical origin of the grape accessions. Wine grapes were significantly differentiated from table grapes no matter whether the accessions were fr...

Genetic diversity of a Serbian grapevine germplasm collection based on morphoagronomic characteristics

TL;DR: The overall arrangement of cultivars suggests considerable phenotypical and genetic variability in studied germplasm collection, and may be useful for further utilization of available genetic resources in gene bank managers, growing and breeding.

Phylogenetic Analysis of First Generation Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCuV) Resistant Cotton Varieties

TL;DR: The results obtained here revealed high similarity among the varieties studied, illuminating the reason why first and second generation of CLCuV resistant cotton varieties became susceptible to the new virus strain.

Mapping 245 SSR markers on the Vitis vinifera genome: a tool for grape genetics

TL;DR: The present work allowed us to map 123 new SSR markers on the V. vinifera genome that had not been ordered in a previous SSR-based map (Riaz et al. 2004), representing an average of 6.5 new markers per linkage group.

Chimerism in grapevines: implications for cultivar identity, ancestry and genetic improvement.

TL;DR: It appears that grapevine chimerism can not only modify phenotype but can also impact on grapevine improvement as both genetic transformation and conventional breeding strategies separate mutations in the L1 and L2 cell layers.

Genetic Divergence and Chimerism within Ancient Asexually Propagated Winegrape Cultivars

TL;DR: Analysis of clones of Vitis vinifera 'Pinot noir' and 'Chardonnay' revealed the presence of chimeras in which the third allele was present in leaf but not root or wood tissues, confirming that the grape apical meristem is functionally two-layered.

A review of palaeobotanical findings of early Vitis in the mediterranean and of the origins of cultivated grape-vines, with special reference to new pointers to prehistoric exploitation in the western mediterranean

TL;DR: The presence in S. Spain of Vitis vinifera L.E. seeds at prehistoric siites of the 3rd millennium B.C., and pollen at Quaternary stations, are considered in the light of conflicting views about the origins of cultivation of the grape and their relation to spontaneous and sub-spontaneous Vitis in Western Mediterranean Europe as discussed by the authors.

An extensive study of the genetic diversity within seven French wine grape variety collections

TL;DR: Evaluating and comparing the intravarietal genetic diversity within seven wine grape varieties and a standard set of five microsatellite markers relevant to reveal clonal polymorphism is proposed.
