Program
Molecular tools for grapevine genetics and genome analysis: SSR discovery and their application; genome sequencing history of grapevine; current version of assembly and annotations; resequencing of different grapevines, new approaches; SNPs and current tools for high throughput SNPs genotyping and genome analysis (Vitis 18K SNPChip, RADSeq and GBS examples; rhAMP)
Evaluation of genetic distance: general concepts about genetic distance; variety definition and varietal identification in grapevine by SSR and by SNPs; scoring of parent/offspring relationships and genetic relationships in grapevine; basics on grapevine domestication history; available genetic diversity: germplasm collections and example of their study and characterization; clones; Varietal vs clonal identification in grapevine by molecular analysis;
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, varietal traits and environmental interaction;
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
Didactic methods
Theoretical lessons with case study presentation. Critical reading and presentation of scientific papers from students and participatory discussions in classroom.
Learning assessment procedures
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
Evaluation criteria
Will be evaluated the knowledge and understanding of the different arguments exposed in the lessons. Furthermore the ability of the student in applying different biotechnological tools and approaches presented to genetically characterize different grapevines will be also evaluated. Finally will be also considered for the final evaluation the ability to understand, present and discuss scientific papers inherent the course program.
