Selection of candidate genes controlling veraison time in grapevine through integration of meta-QTL and transcriptomic data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High temperature during grape berry ripening impairs the quality of fruits and wines. Veraison time, which marks ripening onset, is a key factor for determining climatic conditions during berry ripening. Understanding its genetic control is crucial to successfully breed varieties more adapted to a changing climate. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies attempting to elucidate the genetic determinism of developmental stages in grapevine have identified wide genomic regions. Broad scale transcriptomic studies, by identifying sets of genes modulated during berry development and ripening, also highlighted a huge number of putative candidates.

Results

With the final aim of providing an overview about available information on the genetic control of grapevine veraison ti
