A breeding <strong>program</strong> to develop rootstocks <strong>with</strong> resistance to Xiphinema index, the dagger<br />

nematode vector of grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV), has been underway for many years at UC<br />

Davis. Strong resistance to X. index was discovered in a hybrid form of Vitis arizonica/girdiana<br />

(b42-26). Inheritance studies found its resistance to be controlled by a single dominant locus,<br />

which was later genetically mapped <strong>and</strong> named XiR1. In this study we are examining X. index<br />

resistance derived from a pure form of V. arizonica b40-14 that was collected from Chihuahua,<br />

Mexico. A mapping population (0705) was derived from the susceptible rootstock 161-49C<br />

crossed <strong>with</strong> 8916-22 (V. rupestris A. de Serres x b40-14), which is heterozygous for X. index<br />

resistance. Preliminary greenhouse screening results suggest a 1:1 resistant to susceptible<br />

segregation ratio for X. index in this population. To develop a genetic map, over 400 SSR<br />

markers were tested on a small set of genotypes that included the parents <strong>and</strong> a few progeny. A<br />

total of 190 markers were polymorphic for either or both parents, covering all 19 linkage groups.<br />

One hundred <strong>and</strong> forty of the polymorphic markers have been completed on the entire set of 187<br />

progeny in the 0705 population. The addition of more SSR markers to saturate the linkage<br />

groups is underway. A moderately saturated genetic map will be used to identify the genomic<br />

regions <strong>and</strong> markers associated <strong>with</strong> X. index resistance that could be used for marker-assisted<br />

breeding <strong>program</strong>s <strong>and</strong> as a foundation for fine-scale mapping.<br />
