The genomic resources that are available to the grapevine research community have increased
enormously during the past five years, in parallel with a renewed interest in grapevine (…

Aim Vitis subg. Vitis provides an example of a plant disjunction occurring in the Northern
Hemisphere. It shows broad morphological variation but is assumed to be a species complex …

Background and Aims In spite of the abundance of archaeological, bio-archaeological,
historical and genetic data, the origins, historical biogeography, identity of ancient grapevine …

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild
accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape …

Using 20 SSR markers well scattered across the 19 grape chromosomes, we analyzed 4,370
accessions of the INRA grape repository at Vassal, mostly cultivars of Vitis vinifera subsp. …

Inheritance of nuclear microsatellite markers (nSSR) has been proved to be a powerful tool
to verify or uncover the parentage of grapevine cultivars. The aim of the present study was to …

During the process of crop domestication and early selection, numerous changes occur in
the genetic and physiological make-up of crop plants. In grapevine (Vitis vinifera) numerous …

Background Grapevine (Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera) is one of the most important and ancient
horticultural plants in the world. Domesticated about 8–10,000 years ago in the Eurasian …

Understanding differences in phenology for varieties of a given species is important for making
informed decisions on variety choice in the context of climate change and breeding new …

Grapevine is a very important crop species that is mainly cultivated worldwide for fruits, wine
and juice. Identification of the genetic bases of performance traits through association …
