Genome-wide association (GWA) genetics is potentially of great interest in grapevine to much<br />

more rapidly <strong>and</strong> efficiently find the main loci (QTLs) <strong>and</strong> alleles involved in the variation of<br />

traits of interest to breeding, compared to searches based on individual segregating progenies.<br />

Knowledge of the structure of genetic diversity <strong>and</strong> linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a necessary<br />

prerequisite to design association genetics studies. Vitis vinifera genetic diversity <strong>and</strong> structure<br />

are already well characterized, but LD in this species has not been thoroughly estimated yet.<br />

Other Vitis species are a large potential source of resistance to biotic <strong>and</strong> abiotic stresses for<br />

introgression into V. vinifera, but relatively few genetic resources are available in germplasm<br />

repositories <strong>and</strong> the genetic diversity of these species is hardly known. The objectives of the<br />

DLVitis project (ANR 2009-2011) are to assess genetic structure <strong>and</strong> linkage disequilibrium in<br />

V. vinifera <strong>and</strong> 3 American species (V. riparia, V. cinerea, V. aestivalis). For V. vinifera, 3<br />

samples of 93 cultivars were defined, based on available SSR data, by minimizing structure <strong>and</strong><br />

kinship <strong>and</strong> maximizing genetic distances. An additional sample of 93 accessions of wild V.<br />

vinifera (subsp. silvestris) was also defined. For each American species, 150-200 seeds were<br />

collected in natura last autumn. Genetic diversity <strong>and</strong> structure will be assessed this year using<br />

SSRs, <strong>and</strong> a sample of 93 accessions will be defined for each species. Four genomic regions of 2<br />

Mb each were chosen to estimate LD between specific SNPs in ca. 1 gene out of 3 in each<br />

sample of 93 individuals described above. Novel estimates of LD taking structure <strong>and</strong> kinship<br />

into account were developped <strong>and</strong> will be presented. The first results obtained in V. vinifera in 2<br />

genomic regions showed differences in the rate of LD decay between samples <strong>and</strong> regions,<br />

suggesting past occurrence of differential selection. The consequences of these results for the<br />

design of GWA studies will be discussed.<br />
