Grape Vine Leaves

The new “Research In Plain English” on how fine mapping of leaf trichome density revealed the trait’s location in a cold-hardy wine grape population is available now. VitisGen2 team members Matt Clark and Lu Yin describe their team’s work fine mapping how grape leaf hair density in grape varies by genetic background (species). Analysis confirmed genetic control for leaf hairs in maturing leaves on chromosome 1. Fine-mapping using a large population narrowed the region to several candidate genes in a diverse genetic background.
