Trilateral Project: GrapeReSeq; Large scale re-sequencing in the Vitis genus for identification of resistance genes, SNP discovery and high throughput genotyping
Project
Project code: JKI-ZR-08-1103
Contract period: 01.04.2009
- 01.03.2012
Purpose of research: Applied research
Within the joined research project GrapeReSeq grape genomes are being resequenced to identify genes relevant for breeding. At JKI a genetic map of the rootstock cultivar and interspecific hybrid 'Börner' (being sequenced at Bielefeld University) will be improved. Based on a dense genetic map a physical map will be generated. In addition, the progeny ('Trollinger' x 'Riesling') x 'Börner' will be phenotypically evaluated and traits relevant for breeding (e. g. resistances viticultural characteristics, quality traits) will be mapped. Genetic and physical map will be linked with the genome sequencing data of 'Börner', thus providing a direct access to genes relevant for breeding and opening up their detailed investigation. Together with partners in France, Spain an Italy SNP markers for association-genetic studies will be generated, in order to achieve a wider access to relevant traits within the genus Vitis.
