In the present work, we developed a useful and readable routine for the analysis of large data set, integrating FaMoz software. The routine was applied to a data set consisting of 2,704 individuals of the French national INRA germplasm collection of grapevine, analyzed using 20 SSRs markers well scattered over the genome. The large-scale parentage analysis enabled the identification of several kin relationships. The kingroup of ‘Chardonnay’, one of the most celebrated international grapevine cultivars, was then revealed. INTRODUCTION Vitis vinifera L. is a vegetatively propagated crop, rich in clonal populations (it is submitted to farming practices which are interested in cultivar maintaining). Recent analyses of genetic diversity of V. vinifera by molecular markers demonstrated that V. vinifera evolves through natural crosses between cultivars (Bowers and Meredith, 1997; Bowers et al., 1999; Dettweiler et al., 2000; Sefc et al., 1998; Vouillamoz et al., 2003). But until now, a relatively small number of parentages involving few cultivars have been revealed and only relatively small genetic databases were analyzed. Due to the increased study of genetic diversity in grape, and since SSRs data can be compared between laboratories (This et al., 2004), large databases are gradually becoming available (Laucou et al., 2006). Furthermore, a useful method to perform parentage analysis has been recently set up that has no limit with respect to the size of the database (Di Vecchi Staraz et al., 2006). In the present paper, we describe a large scale parentage analysis involving 2,704 cultivars aimed at the identification of kin relationships for one of the most celebrated international grapevine cultivars: ‘Chardonnay’. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plant Material and Microsatellite Markers The study is based on 2,704 Vitis vinifera L. unique genotypes (Laucou et al., 2006), from the Domaine de Vassal INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agro- nomique, France) grape repository. All material analyzed was previously selected and identified by ampelographic study, in order to guarantee the trueness-to-type of genetic samples (Laucou et al., 2006). The database includes individuals deriving from 38 countries, among them, especially France, but also Italy and Spain are by far the most represented countries. The multilocus unique genotypes are based on 20 microsatellite loci (nSSR): VVMD5, VVMD7, VVMD21, VVMD24, VVMD25, VVMD27, VVMD28, VVMD32 Proc. IX th Intl. Conf. on Grape Genetics and Breeding Eds.: E. Peterlunger et al. 233 Acta Hort. 827, ISHS 2009 (Bowers et al., 1996, 1999); VVIn16, VVIv67, VVIv37, VVIq52, VVIp60, VVIh54, VVIb01, VVIn73, VVIp31 (Merdinoglu et al., 2005); VVS2 (Thomas and Scott, 1993) and VMC1b11, VMC4f3 (Vitis Microsatellite Consortium). Parentage Analysis Parentage analysis and handling of dataset were performed as described by Di Vecchi Staraz et al. (2006), using FaMoz software (Gerber et al., 2003). This method involves calculating a logarithm of the likelihood ratio, Log of odds ratio (LOD-score), a threshold for parentage assignment and several exclusion probabilities. The LOD-score, with a value greater than zero, gives a statistical significance to any potential parentage relationship (single parent/parent pair). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Exclusion Probabilities The paternity exclusion probability for single parent exclusion with 20 markers reaches 0.999999. A probability of cumulative exclusion of 1 was reached using only six markers for pair exclusion and 11 markers for paternity exclusion. These probabilities are largely significant to assess pedigree reconstruction. The threshold is >8 to identify a valid potential single parent and parent pair with 20 SSRs. Pedigree and Kingroup Reconstruction Searching for the kingroup of ‘Chardonnay’, we identified 32 direct relatives (Table 1 and Fig. 1). Two are the parents of ‘Chardonnay’, and we confirmed the parent pair ‘Pinot noir’ x ‘Gouais blanc’, observed by Bowers et al. (1999), with high LOD- score (29.03) and high CLR (X x Y=1,44x1010; ‘Pinot noir’ x X=6,56x105; ‘Gouais blanc’ x X=2,31x1010). Furthermore, we identified the parent pairs of 30 cultivars composing the ‘Chardonnay’ kingroup, except for the parents ‘Pinot noir’ and ‘Gouais blanc’ (Table 1). The kingroup is composed of either full-sibs or offsprings of the cultivar. Twenty-two individuals originating from the ‘Pinot noir’ x ‘Gouais blanc’ cross were identified. Some have already been identified by Bowers et al. (1999), but seven of these are additional ones: ‘François noir’, ‘Gros bec’, ‘Konigstraube’, ‘Mezi’, ‘Romaine’, ‘Rubi’, and ‘Troyen’. The ‘Gros bec’ is not a synonym of ‘Dameron’ as declared before (Galet, 2000). All are from Central Europe (from the East of France to Austria). Four of them are currently grown, while ‘Mezi’, ‘François noir’, and ‘Gros bec’ have disappeared from farming. The other eight kin are offspring of ‘Chardonnay’. All the identified offspring were expected, because they are all recent controlled crosses. One is a self-fertilization (‘S.F. Chardonnay’). Two are recent INRA official breeds: ‘Liliorila’ (‘Baroque’ x ‘Chardonnay’) and ‘Perdea’ (‘Raffiat de Moncade’ x ‘Chardonnay’). ‘Charmont’ and ‘Doral’ are selected breeds from the cross ‘Chasselas’ x ‘Chardonnay’ obtained by Jacquinet in Switzerland in 1965. ‘Faberrebe’ was obtained in 1929 by Scheu, from the cross ‘Chardonnay’ x ‘Müller-Thurgau’, and not from the presumed cross ‘Pinot blanc’ x ‘Müller-Thurgau’ (Galet, 2000). ‘Soukholimansky bely’ (‘Chardonnay’ x ‘Plavaï’) was obtained in Ukraine in 1949. Finally, ‘Bourdier 2-04-58’ is a selected breed from ‘Chardonnay’ x ‘Chenin’. We confirmed that the largest parentage identified between grapevine cultivars is from the ‘Pinot noir’ x ‘Gouais blanc’ cross (Bowers et al., 1999; Boursiquot et al., 2004). We also proved that grapevine evolve by sexual reproduction from spontaneous or controlled crosses. It is important to point out that descendants of this cross have hermaphrodite flowers logically, but at least one of them have female flowers (‘François noir’). The possible male descendants were not selected for cultivation and they have quickly disappeared. 234 CONCLUSIONS In the present work, we performed a parentage analysis routine to identify kinship relationships in a large dataset consisting of 20 SSR markers and data for 2,704 unique genotypes. Up to now, this is the biggest database analyzed for grapevine. We identified a very large kingroup for well-known cultivar ‘Chardonnay’. We confirmed that the cross ‘Pinot noir’ x ‘Gouais blanc’ has the largest and successfully descent of grapevine, and that a large data set is fundamental to assess genealogy reconstruction.

  • Chardonnay the Versatile Grape Chardonnay History
    Chardonnay The Versatile Grape Chardonnay History • Originating in the Burgundy region, has been grown in France for at least 1,200 years. • Chardonnay is believed to have been named after a village of the same name in the French Mâconnais area in southern Burgundy. It comes from the Latin cardonaccum, meaning “place full of thistles.” • Chardonnay is a genetic cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, an obscure grape variety believed to have originated in Croatia, and transported to France by the Romans. • Chardonnay is probably made into more different styles of wine than any other grape. A White Wine That Breaks the Rules of White Wine Most White Wine… Chardonnay… • Contains residual sugar for a hint • Usually fermented bone dry. of sweetness. • Sometimes put through malolactic • Malolactic fermentation is avoided fermentation to reduce acidity and to bring out fruit flavor and enhance buttery qualities. freshness. • Often aged in oak barrels. • Aged in stainless steel tanks. Fun Facts & Trivia • Chardonnay is believed to be the second biggest white grape grown world-wide, when measured by acreage. In first place is ‘Airén’, a fairly obscure white grape grown extensively in central Spain. Airen is grown without irrigation in a very dry region, so vines are spaced far apart, and yields are very low. If measured by tonnage or bottles produced, Chardonnay would be the leader by far. • Chardonnay has been grown in Italy for a long time (although often confused with Pinot Blanc). In 2000, it was Italy’s 4th most widely planted white grape variety! • Gouais Blanc, one of the parents of Chardonnay, is sometimes referred to as the “Casanova” of grape varieties.

  • Schildknecht
    Down from the Niche: How can a soft-spoken grape raise its voice in the marketplace? David Schildknecht Talk at the Spatium Pinot Blanc, 2018 Revered sponsors and guests: The honor of speaking to you gives me great pleasure. But I take even greater pleasure in knowing that there exists such a thing as a Spatium Pinot Blanc, and accordingly I’d like to thank all of those responsible for the genesis of this event and its perpetuation. How can we help Pinot Blanc down from its largely overlooked niche? Or perhaps I should first consider whether such a helping-down is even desirable? The concept of a “niche” surfaces regularly in conversations with Pinot Blanc winegrowers, but often in a positive context. Asked, for instance, how he pictures the future of Pinot Blanc in his winery after forty-four years of efforts on its behalf, Traisental vintner Ludwig Neumayer replies affectionately that Weissburgunder will retain “the status of a very exquisite niche grape variety.” I can completely concur with “exquisite.” Shouldn’t that suffice? Maybe I just have a bug up my ass because this niche-existence offends my sense of justice. To quote my colleague Ian d’Agata: “Only rarely does Pinot Grigio reach the levels of refinement that Pinot Bianco is capable of“. And yet Pinot Gris – largely precisely as Pinot Grigio – is familiar to every wine lover the world over. Jason Lett of Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon is of the opinion that the tiny amounts of Pinot Blanc that he and a few of his winegrowing neighbors in the Willamette Valley produce “are not successful commercially because it’s too hard to differentiate the variety in people’s minds from Pinot Gris.” My own bottom line is: Having once been convinced by my palate of the virtues and superb potential of Pinot Blanc, I won’t permit myself to be dissuaded from acting as a megaphone in the service of this by nature soft-spoken grape.

In the present study, we developed a marker set to differentiate Vitis species, grapevine varieties or clones belonging to the same variety. This novel marker set combines, in four PCR amplifications, the presence/absence of a remarkable retrotransposon, Tvv1-Δ3460, inserted at its single locus and the SSR polymorphism present within its two LTRs. By studying a collection of Vitaceae accessions, we showed the prevalence of two allelic forms of Tvv1-Δ3460 - one of which was partially truncated - in Vitis species. Out of the twenty-five studiedVitis species, the insertion of a Tvv1-Δ3460 element was detected in twenty, including Vitis vinifera. The homozygous vs heterozygous state of the element insertion was determined by amplifying the empty site. Additionally, each Tvv1-Δ3460 LTRs included a microsatellite sequence useful for designing markers based on LTR length. The LTR-SSR markers distinguished most of the fifty-two cultivars and revealed polymorphism within five of the seven varieties studied.

  • 377 Final 2003/0140
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 24.6.2003 COM (2003) 377 final 2003/0140 (ACC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the conclusion of an agreement between the European Community and Canada on trade in wines and spirit drinks (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. This agreement between Canada and the European Community is the result of bilateral negotiations which took place from 7 November 2001 to 24 April 2003 on the basis of a negotiating mandate adopted by the Council on 1 August 2001 (Doc. 11170/01). The agreement comprises arrangements for the reciprocal trade in wines and spirit drinks with a view to creating favourable conditions for its harmonious development. 2. The agreement specifies oenological practices which may be used by producers of wine exported to the other Party, as well as a procedure for accepting new oenological practices. The Community's simplified system of certification will be applied to imported wines originating in Canada. Canada will not introduce import certification for Community wines and will simplify the extent of such testing requirements as are currently applied by provinces, within a year of entry into force. Production standards are agreed for wine made from grapes frozen on the vine. Concerning production standards for spirit drinks, the agreement provides that Canada will adhere to Community standards for its exports of whisky to the Community. 3. Procedures whereby geographical indications relating to wines and spirit drinks of either Party may be protected in the territory of the other Party are agreed. The current "generic" status in Canada of 21 wine names will be ended by the following dates: 31 December 2013 for Chablis, Champagne, Port and Porto, and Sherry; 31 December 2008 for Bourgogne and Burgundy, Rhin and Rhine, and Sauterne and Sauternes; the date of entry into force of the agreement for Bordeaux, Chianti, Claret, Madeira, Malaga, Marsala, Medoc and Médoc, and Mosel and Moselle.

  • Pinot Pedigree Diagram
    PINOT PEDIGREE DIAGRAM No fewer than 156 western European grape varieties make up this huge pedigree of natural crosses, with savagnin, gouais blanc and pinot playing the major roles. Given the number of varieties that are currently unknown (?), this pedigree is just one of the possible interpretations of all direct parent–offspring relationships that have been discovered by DNA parentage analyses (Pinot and teroldego, which have a grandparent–grandchild relationship, are included to illustrate the unexpected link between Pinot and syrah). It strongly challenges the commonly assumed independent origins of western European varieties and argues in favour of a small core set of founder varieties that have given birth through natural crosses to the significant biodiversity we know today. For the sake of clarity, trebbiano toscano and folle blanche appear twice in the diagram. Gatefold_Pinot.indd 1 23/07/2012 15:10 ? Gänsfüsser ? Chatus ? César ? ? ? Pougnet Sérénèze Furmint ?
