Working genetics
from the inside out
International Grape Genome Program
Welcome to www.vitaceae.org the web site for multinational collaborative grapevine research. The primary research focus is grapevine genomics carried out within the framework of the International Grape Genome Program (IGGP). It is expected that this new genomic knowledge will have a significant impact on our understanding of grapevine biology, viticulture and enology. Plant biologists, viticulturists and enologists are encouraged to contribute their expertise and form collaborations with genetic and molecular scientists within the IGGP.
IGGP Goal
The goal of the IGGP is to understand the genetic and molecular basis of all biological processes in Vitis that are relevant to the crop. This understanding is fundamental to allow efficient exploitation of Vitis biological resources in the development of new cultivars with improved quality and reduced economic and environmental costs. This knowledge is also vital for the development of new vineyard and winery diagnostic tools. Traits considered of primary interest are pathogen and abiotic stress resistance, quality traits for fruit and wine grapes and reproductive traits determining yield.
Working Groups
To achieve this final goal working groups have been formed and research objectives have been developed for the following topics.
Markers and genetic mapping
BAC libraries, physical maps and genome sequencing
ESTs and transcriptional profiling
Functional analysis
Bioinformatics
