GENETICS AND BREEDING OF GRAPEVINE. BREEDVITIS

Research focuses in our group in two main areas in grapevine breeding: the genetic analysis of agronomic and oenological traits relevant for grapevine and the study of grapevine-powdery mildew interaction with special focus on powdery mildew genetic diiversity. The ultimate goal is the selection of elite genotypes better adapted to climate change in collaboration with breeding nurseries-and the development of sustainable strategies against powdery mildew.
