Description
About the Book
The genetics and genomics of grapes are important aspects of viticulture. Grapes (Vitis vinifera) possess a complex genome, approximately 30,000 genes, coding for traits such as disease resistance, fruit quality, and environmental adaptability. Advances in genomics have enabled marker-assisted breeding, accelerating the development of new grapevine cultivars with desired characteristics. Additionally, genomics aids in the identification of genetic variations and evolutionary relationships among grape species. Understanding the grape genome also helps in tackling viticultural challenges, such as susceptibility to pests and climate change impacts. Genomic tools like CRISPR and transcriptome analysis are further enhancing our ability to fine-tune grapevine traits, ensuring better yield, quality, and sustainability in grape production. These advancements are pivotal for both table grapes and wine production, contributing significantly to the global agricultural and economic landscape. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. Also included in this book is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and processes of viticulture. This book on viticulture is a collective contribution of a renowned group of international experts.Book Synopsis
