Rootstocks can be used as efficient tools to control the development of grapevines <strong>and</strong> thus can<br />
improve the quality of the harvest. This phenomenon is known as conferred vigour <strong>and</strong> is not<br />
related to the own vigour of the ungrafted rootstock, therefore making it difficult to predict the<br />
conferred vigour of new rootstock varieties. In order to improve the selection efficiency <strong>and</strong><br />
shorten the cycle of rootstock selection, we aim to identify the regions of the genome controlling<br />
own <strong>and</strong> conferred vigour of rootstocks to develop a Marker Assisted Selection <strong>program</strong>. An F1<br />
population composed of 130 individuals issued from a cross between ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ x<br />
‘Riparia Gloire de Montpellier’ was evaluated for conferred rootstock vigour. The F1 population<br />
was grafted <strong>with</strong> ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ as the scion. Four different experimental designs were<br />
used: a pot experiment <strong>with</strong> one year old plants, a pot experiment <strong>with</strong> two year old plants, a<br />
long term field experiment <strong>and</strong> a short term field experiment comparing five different scions<br />
(‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, ‘Ugni Blanc’, ‘Petit Verdot’, ‘Muscat de Hambourg’ <strong>and</strong> ‘Merlot’)<br />
grafted on the whole F1 population. In pot experiments <strong>and</strong> in the multi scion field experiment,<br />
plants were trained on a single stem. Vigour was evaluated by measuring the growth of the stem.<br />
Dry matter of the root system was also evaluated. In the long term field experiment, we<br />
measured the pruning weight <strong>and</strong> harvest weight. QTLs for induced vigour were mapped on the<br />
genetic map of the population. Common QTLs were detected between field <strong>and</strong> pot experiments.<br />
The multi scion experiment allowed us to find new QTLs which were not identified <strong>with</strong><br />
‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ as the scion. This adds to the complexity of this phenomenon <strong>and</strong> suggests<br />
that the interaction between the rootstock <strong>and</strong> the scion is the key to underst<strong>and</strong>ing conferred<br />
vigour.<br />
