Shoot and Cluster Correlation Among Pinot Noir Clones
نویسنده
چکیده
There are 43 clones of Pinot Noir currently published by the National Technical Institution for Viticultural Improvement in France (ENTAV) and over 75 selections from Foundation Plant Services (FPS) at UC Davis. Viticulturists speculate that there are anywhere from 200 – 1,000 genetic variants that may exist for any given grape variety. An important part of vineyard management is crop estimation. The purpose of this project is to see if there is correlation in the number of shoots a vine produces and the number of clusters it produces and comparing that correlation with seven different Pinot Noir clones. The clones I sampled were PN 5, 2A, 23, 115, 667, 777 and 828, and the parameters I collected data on were number of shoots and clusters for all sample vines, and the ratio of clusters/vine to shoots/vine. Clones 5 and 115 had significantly higher numbers of shoots per vine than Clone 777; Clones 5, 23 and 828 had significantly higher numbers of clusters than Clone 777; and Clones 2A, 5, 23, and 828 had significantly higher cluster/shoot ratios than Clone 115. This information could ultimately help us understand which clones produce a greater or lesser amount of clusters, shoots and clusters/shoot, which will help growers decide which Pinot Noir clones to plant.

Transposable Elements Are a Major Cause of Somatic Polymorphism in Vitis vinifera L.
Through multiple vegetative propagation cycles, clones accumulate mutations in somatic cells that are at the origin of clonal phenotypic diversity in grape. Clonal diversity provided clones such as Cabernet-Sauvignon N°470, Chardonnay N° 548 and Pinot noir N° 777 which all produce wines of superior quality. The economic impact of clonal selection is therefore very high: since approx. 95% of the...
متن کاملA skin color mutation of grapevine, from black-skinned Pinot Noir to white-skinned Pinot Blanc, is caused by deletion of the functional VvmybA1 allele.
A white-wine grape, Pinot Blanc, is thought to be a white-skinned mutant of a red-wine grape, Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir was heterozygous for VvmybA1. One allele was the non-functional VvmybA1a, and the other was the functional VvmybA1c. In Pinot Blanc, however, only VvmybA1a was observed, and the amount of VvmybA1 DNA in Pinot Blanc was half that in Pinot Noir. These findings suggest that deletion...
متن کاملChromosome Replacement and Deletion Lead to Clonal Polymorphism of Berry Color in Grapevine
Clonal polymorphism mainly results from somatic mutations that occur naturally during plant growth. In grapevine, arrays of clones have been selected within varieties as a valuable source of diversity, among them clones showing berry color polymorphism. To identify mutations responsible for this color polymorphism, we studied a collection of 33 clones of Pinot noir, Pinot gris, and Pinot blanc....
متن کاملComprehensive and comparative lipidome analysis of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot Noir and Japanese indigenous V. vinifera L. cv. Koshu grape berries
Vitis vinifera cv. Koshu is an indigenous grape cultivar that has been cultivated for more than a thousand years in Japan and one of the most important cultivars in white winemaking. To improve Koshu wine quality, it is necessary to identify the metabolites in Koshu berry. We conducted a comprehensive and comparative lipidome analysis of Koshu and Pinot Noir berries cultivated in the same locat...

Somatic mutation is a natural mechanism which allows plant growers to develop new cultivars. As a source of variation within a uniform genetic background, it also represents an ideal tool for studying the genetic make-up of important traits and for establishing gene functions. Layer-specific molecular characterization of the Pinot family of grape cultivars was conducted to provide an evolutiona...
