Abstract Discrimination among grapevine varieties based on quantitative traits,
such as flowering, veraison and ripening dates is crucial for variety selection in
the context of climate change and in breeding programs. These traits are under
complex genetic control for which 6 linked SSR loci (VVS2, VVIn16, VMC7G3,
VrZAG29, VMC5G7, and VVIB23) have been identified. Using these markers in
HRM-PCR analysis, we assessed genetic diversity among a large collection of
192 grapevine varieties. The grapevine germplasm used encompasses the majority
of Greek vineyard with 181 varieties, 3 prominent foreign varieties and 11 varieties of Palestinian origin. The SSR markers used were highly… More >
