Abstract

Table grapes are important plants due to their food consumption and economic value. They have been cultivated in many countries and comprise an important business industry. Grapes have been cultivated since ancient time in Iran and are cultivated in different province and face diverse environmental and climatic conditions. In general, there are a few genetic studies concerned with table grapes in Iran which are mainly confined to a few cultivars and only consider genetic diversity of the studied samples. There has been no report on landscape genetics and population genetic analysis of these cultivars. In present study 178 cultivated (Vitis vinifera) grape accessions were analyzed for genetic diversity and population structure using start codon targeted (SCoTs) molecular markers. A total of 35 alleles were detected, based on which, the populations showed a low to high genetic variability. Population genetic analyses revealed that the studied populations differ significantly in their genetic content, they show a high magnitude of genetic admixture. Landscape genetic analyses identified SCoT loci which are potentially adaptive to geographical variables and that both global and local spatial variables affect genetic structuring of table grapes in the country. In conclusion, novel findings were provided on genetic structure, gene flow, and spatial structuring of genetic content in table grape populations. Also, the genetic regions associated with the geographical, and landscape variables in table grape were identified.
