Thanks to current advances in sequencing technologies, novel bioinformatics tools, and
efficient modeling solutions, association mapping has become a widely accepted approach …

Grapevines are challenged by a range of diseases and pests, causing economic losses and
requiring often costly approaches to mitigate damage. Public interest in reducing the use of …

Key message A half-diallel population involving five elite grapevine cultivars was generated
and genotyped by GBS, and highly-informative segregation data was used to construct a …

Botrytis bunch rot is one of the economically most important fungal diseases in viticulture
(aside from powdery mildew and downy mildew). So far, no active defense mechanisms and …

The C13-norisoprenoid aroma compounds 1, 1, 6-trimethyl-1, 2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN)
and biosynthetically related vitispirane (VS) are important contributors to the varietal aroma …

In this chapter, we review the history of grapevine genetics and gene mapping. Genetic
markers are introduced considering both sequence-based and sequence-independent …

Grape berry size is one of important external quality attributes affecting consumers'
preference, but also a component of yield, and thus one of the major concerns of grapevine …

In viticulture, winemakers and the industry demand grape bunches that have a reduced
degree of bunch compactness. The major aspect is that a loose bunch compactness …

Inflorescence architecture provides the scaffold on which flowers and fruits develop, and
consequently is a primary trait under investigation in many crop systems. Yet the challenge …

In grapevine breeding, loose grape bunch architecture is one of the most important selection
traits, contributing to an increased resilience towards Botrytis bunch rot. Grape bunch …
