Characterization of Four Famous Red Grapevine Cultivars

Serological Detection of Grapevine Associated Closteroviruses in Infected Grapevine Cultivars

Grapevine leafroll (LR) and corky bark (CB) diseases occur wherever grapevines are grown and are associated with undesirable viticultural effects which include delayed ripening of fruit, reduced yield, altered fruit pigmentation, and reduced accumulation of sugar (6,24). Rootstockscion incompatibility (RSI) is a disease syndrome characterized by incompatibility at the graft union resulting in s...

Sequence Polymorphisms and Structural Variations among Four Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) Cultivars Representing Sardinian Agriculture

The genetic diversity among grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars that underlies differences in agronomic performance and wine quality reflects the accumulation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and small indels as well as larger genomic variations. A combination of high throughput sequencing and mapping against the grapevine reference genome allows the creation of comprehensive seque...

Seasonal dynamics and virus translocation of Grapevine leafrollassociated virus 3 in grapevine cultivars

Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) is associated with grapevine leafroll disease, one of the most economically important viral diseases of grapevines. This disease impacts on both vine health and grape quality; reduction in yield, brix and wine colour are among its detrimental effects. Many methods, including serological and molecular procedures, have been developed for the detecti...

Comparison of Dinitrogen Fixation and Nitrogen Transfer Potentials of Four Red Clover Cultivars

Chloroplast genome diversity in Portuguese grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars.

Grapevine chloroplast (cp) DNA diversity was analysed for the first time through amplification and digestion of fragments of the large single copy (LSC) region by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology and also by amplification of three microsatellite loci, previously described as polymorphic in grapevine. Thirty-eight grapevine cultivars collected mainly...

Characterization of Resistance Gene Analog Polymorphisms in sugarcane cultivars with varying levels of red rot resistance

Resistance Gene Analog (RGA) strategy is being exploited perfectly for the identification, tagging and mapping of major genes or Quantitative Trait Loci for disease resistance. About 29 RGA primers designed from the conserved domains of resistance proteins, were used to analyse the genetic diversity among the 40 sugarcane cultivars that vary in their resistance to red rot disease. The genetic s...
