Application of AFLPs to the characterization of grapevine Vitis vinifera L. genetics resources. A case study with accessions from Rioja (Spain)

AFLPs were used to characterize 67 different grapevine accessions from a collection of D.O.Ca. Rioja in Spain. A correct selection of primers and selective nucleotides allowed us to maximize the number of amplified fragments analyzed per reaction yielding an average of 100 per reaction, 49% of which...

Sumario:AFLPs were used to characterize 67 different grapevine accessions from a collection of D.O.Ca. Rioja in Spain. A correct selection of primers and selective nucleotides allowed us to maximize the number of amplified fragments analyzed per reaction yielding an average of 100 per reaction, 49% of which were polymorphic. Based on the presence or absence of amplified fragments for each genotype resulting from a reaction with two primer combinations, we have established the genetic similarity between the different accessions in the collection. These results allowed us to resolve different genotypes maintained under the same name (homonyms) and to identify the same genotype under different names (synonyms) thus permitting the elimination of redundant germplasm. Furthermore, by providing information on more than 50 polymorphic loci per reaction, a few reactions were sufficient to identify distinct AFLP patterns characteristic of specific clones, with different agronomic and organoleptic features, belonging to the same cultivar. The possibility for clonal identification, shown here for grapevines, can have important implications in the protection and management of clonal selections.
