Rpv10.2: A Haplotype Variant of Locus Rpv10 Enables New Combinations for Pyramiding Downy Mildew Resistance Traits in Grapevine.

ABSTRACT: In viticulture, pathogens like the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, the causal agent of downy mildew, can cause severe yield loss and require extensive application of plant protection chemicals. Breeders are generating pathogen-resistant varieties exploiting American and Asian wild Vitis germplasm as sources of resistance. Several loci mediating resistance to P. viticola have been identified in the past but may be overcome by specifically adapted strains of the pathogen. Aiming to find and characterize novel loci, a cross population with Vitis amurensis ancestry was investigated searching for resistance-correlated quantitative trait loci (QTL). As a prerequisite, a genetic map was generated by analyzing the 244 F₁ individuals derived from a cross of the
