Peroxidase (POD) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) in grape (Vitis vinifera L.)

Genetic structure and differentiation in cultivated grape, Vitis vinifera L.

222 cultivated (Vitis vinifera) and 22 wild (V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris) grape accessions were analysed for genetic diversity and differentiation at eight microsatellite loci. A total of 94 alleles were detected, with extensive polymorphism among the accessions. Multivariate relationships among accessions revealed 16 genetic groups structured into three clusters, supporting the classical eco-g...

In vitro Regeneration of Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cv. Perlette

Factors like slow and seasonal multiplication and infection with pathogens have constrained the use of conventional plant propagation methods, thus lead to development of new and novel methods of propagation like in vitro multiplication which ensures the production of virus and disease free elite planting material in large numbers. In the present work, in vitro regeneration protocol has been st...

The Evolutionary Genomics of Grape (Vitis vinifera ssp. vinifera) Domestication

Evolutionary genomics of grape (Vitis vinifera ssp. vinifera) domestication

We gathered genomic data from grapes (Vitis vinifera ssp. vinifera), a clonally propagated perennial crop, to address three ongoing mysteries about plant domestication. The first is the duration of domestication; archaeological evidence suggests that domestication occurs over millennia, but genetic evidence indicates that it can occur rapidly. We estimated that our wild and cultivated grape sam...

Expression of related proteins and aquaporin genes in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) under salinity sress

Due to worldwide increasing of salinity, the identification of genes conferring tolerance to plants is important. The aim of this study was to investigate salinity effects on the expression of three genes-related to proteins and aquaporin in grape (Vitis vinifera L.). Based on screening study on 18 grape genotypes, H6 and Gharashani that showed lower decrease in water potential, leaf area, leaf...
