Learning outcomes
• By the end of this course students will know all most recent molecular instruments for high throughput whole genome genotyping in grapevine and will be able to understand their molecular basis, as well as know basics of grapevine domestication history and genetic relationships among varieties;
• Through field and class exercises or discussion of scientific works will develop skills to apply, evaluate and communicate results of genetic analysis for the varietal and clone identification, to describe genetic relationships among varieties and to evaluate genetic and environmental variability components;
• Finally will be able to understand and evaluate power and main limitations of grape breeding technologies and their efficiency as solutions to main problems in viticulture and to preserve grapevine typicity.
Program
General concepts about molecular markers; description of different kinds of molecular markers from hybridization based to PCR and sequencing based; simple sequence repeats (SSR); single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP); description of modern platforms for high-throughput SNPs genotyping; description of modern platforms for NGS; genotyping by sequencing;
Molecular markers applied in grapevine genetics; SSR discovery in grapevine and their applications; SNPs scoring in grapevine and tools for high throughput SNP genotyping; genome sequencing history of grapevine; current version of assembly and annotations; grapevine resequencing approaches
Usage of molecular markers for evaluation of genetic distance: general concepts; scoring of genetic relationships, parent/offspring relationships; methods and procedures for varietal and clonal identification; grapevine domestication history;
Complex traits and variance components, environmental effect and genotype/environment interaction; methods for trait mapping in biparental cross populations or by genotype/phenotype association in variety collections; discussion of approaches and recent studies for the interpretation of grape genetic identity features and environmental interaction; applications for studying the terroir
Grape breeding: traditional methods, marker assisted selection (MAS) and available markers and overview of current breeding projects and main targets, perspective on new breeding technologies (NBT) and some example of application
Bibliography
Examination Methods
The evaluation consists in an oral exam with open questions. The student has the opportunity to present and discuss results of a scientific paper chosen from some proposals of the teacher or by the student himself. The performance of the presentation will be evaluated and will contribute to the final evaluation

News for students
There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and soon also via the Univr app.
Graduation
Linguistic training CLA
Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
