In-depth population genetic study of <i>Vitis vinifera</i> ssp. <i>sylvestris</i> from the Black Sea region and its virome.

ABSTRACT: The spread of cultivated grapevine from primary centers of origin is inevitably accompanied by the range expansion of its pathogens, including viruses. A limited number of wild Vitis vinifera L. ssp. sylvestris (Gmelin) Hegi populations have survived in the centers of grapevine domestication and can be used for comprehensive studies. We analyzed 50 grapevines collected in protected areas of the Black Sea region, which belong to the Caucasian domestication center. Based on genotyping of grapevines using simple sequence repeats as DNA markers, we determined the phylogenetic placement of V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris from the Black Sea region compared to cultivated and wild grapevines of the world. Using high-throughput sequencing of total RNA, we obtained the virome
