The Cannon Hall Muscat grape
No full textThe Canon Hall Muscat table grape grown for export in Western Australia is consistent with the early descriptions and the present appearance of the original Cannon Hall Muscat vine, and is clearly the same variety. It has the diploid number of chromosomes and the use of its name for tetraploid sports of Muscat of Alexandria is not justified.Die Rebensorte Cannon Hall MuscatDie Tafeltraube Canon Hall Muscat, die in Westaustralien zum Export angebaut wird, gleicht der ursprünglichen Cannon-Hall-Muscat-Rebe, da die erstgenannte eindeutig den alten Beschreibungen und dem heutigen Aussehen der letzteren entspricht. Canon Hall Muscat ist diploid, und deshalb sollte dieser Name nicht für tetraploide Mutanten von Muscat of Alexandria gebraucht werden

Genetic variability assessment in ‘Muscat’ grapevines including ‘Muscat of Alexandria’ clones from selection programs
No full textGenetic variability is needed to face environmental changes and pathogen constrains. In addition, the search for intravarietal variability contributes to the avoidance of genetic erosion, preserving clones that are adapted to particular conditions. Variability is also important to diversify grapevine-derived products. In this work, we have analyzed the genetic variability of ‘Muscat germplasm’ including samples from neglected vineyards from Alicante and Valencia provinces, accessions of the germplasm collections of ‘Colección de Vides de El Encín’ (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid) and ‘La Casa de las Vides’ (Agullent, Valencia), accessions supplied by nurseries of Valencia province, and ‘Muscat of Alexandria’ clones selected using differential ampelographic characteristics in selection programs (La Marina, Alicante). Fifteen microsatellites (SSRs) were used to study intervarietal variability. The SSR fingerprinting allowed the identification of some accessions, variants, and synonymies. Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) markers and Microsatellite-AFLPs were used to determine the variability attended in ‘Muscat of Alexandria’ accessions. A CAPs (Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences) marker, recently developed for the discrimination of ‘Muscat’ flavor genotypes using the SNP1822 G>T, was assessed and showed that all the analyzed accessions were ‘Muscat’ flavored. The variation found among the analyzed germplasm is very interesting because variants within ‘Muscat of Alexandria’, ‘Muscat Italia’, and ‘Muscat d’Istambul’ have been identified. In addition, intravarietal genetic variation was found among the analyzed accessions in ‘Muscat of Alexandria’ from selection programs
Genetic variability in grapevine clones of 'Muscat of Alexandria'
No full text[EN] Among grapevine cultivars, the `Muscat¿ family includes several widespread types that share a characteristic pronounced floral aroma and a typical `Muscat¿ flavor. `Muscat blanc à petits grains¿ and `Muscat of Alexandria¿ are the most representative and ancient cultivars. The grapevine cultivar `Muscat of Alexandria¿ is of great importance within the Valencia and Vinos de Alicante PDOs (Protected Designations of Origin, a prestigious Spanish regional product classification). Fruits from these cultivars are the basis of various appreciated wines, also being consumed as table grapes or used for raisin production. We used a set of selected simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to confirm the identity of different clones of `Muscat of Alexandria¿, some of them showing differential ampelographic traits. Additionally, we found intravarietal genetic variability using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Now, more accurate genotyping has been conducted by GBS (genotyping by sequencing). The GBS generated 2-4 million reads per sample, 85% of which were mapped to the reference genome developed by the French-Italian consortium (Vitis vinifera IGGP 12×). Around 40,000 SNPs were identified, with a coverage greater than 10×. Polymorphisms between and within the analyzed clones were found. Experimental validations of the identified SNPs will provide markers to fingerprint these clones accurately. They will be also suitable for association studies or to develop molecular markers useful in selection programs.This study was partially supported by project PRPCGL2015-70843-R co-funded with FEDER Funds.Esteras Gómez, C.; Peiró Barber, RM.; Soler, J.; Martínez-Gil, F.; Ruiz, J.; Picó Sirvent, MB.; Gisbert Domenech, MC.

Morphological and genetic differences of CM59 Muscat of Alexandria clone: the whitest Muscat in La Marina Alta, Spain
No full text[EN] La Marina Alta, a region in the Alicante province of Spain, exhibits significant variability in the grapevine cultivar `Muscat of Alexandria¿. Within the selected clones in this region, CM59 stands out for its medium-sized berries, which are notably whiter than those of other Muscat clones in the area. CM59 also distinguishes itself through various agronomical traits, including differences in maturity and resistance to pests. Grown in different old vineyards, this clone demonstrates a favorable compatibility with various rootstocks and is particularly valued for table consumption. Despite its significance, there are limited references to this specific type of Muscat of Alexandria in available bibliographic resources, underscoring the importance of its characterization. This study focuses on reporting ampelographic traits and general agronomic aspects of the CM59 clone. Additionally, by analyzing nearly 40,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) assay involving a small set of Muscat of Alexandria clones, approximately 2,600 SNPs were found to differ between CM59 and the other clones. In-depth analysis revealed those that could have a moderate impact (non-synonymous) or high impact, primarily involving start site loss or stop site gain. Noteworthy that among these later are genes associated with proteases controlling stomatal development, responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, expression regulation at pre- and post-translational levels, protein folding, transporters, grape pigmentation, apical development, regulation of flowering, growth, and signaling pathways. This comprehensive exploration of genetic variations provides valuable insights into the unique characteristics of the CM59 clone, contributing to our understanding of the genetic basis of its distinctive traits.

An integrated approach to studying the positional candidate gene 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (VvDXS) involved in Muscat flavor determination
No full textCorresponding author: [email protected] audienceFragrance in table grapes and a persistent and complex aroma in wine are both sought after by the modern consumer. In particular, the floral flavor typical of Muscat varieties, due to high levels of monoterpenoids (geraniol, linalool and nerol), is highly distinct and has been greatly appreciated since ancient times. Muscat flavor determination in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) has up to now been studied by evaluating monoterpenoid quantity through QTL analysis. These studies have revealed co-localization of 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (VvDXS) with the major QTL positioned on chromosome 5. The aim of the present study was to assess the connection between the positional candidate gene VvDXS and muscat flavor by investigating the nucleotide diversity of VvDXS ORF and its expression profiles in the grape berry. Association between VvDXS polymorphisms and muscat flavor was evaluated through a structured association analysis. A putative causal SNP responsible for a predicted non-neutral substitution was found to be significantly associated with muscat-flavored varieties. Moreover, muscat-like aromatic mutants displayed unique heterozygous non-synonymous mutations near the mutated site of Muscat genotypes. The relationship between the transcription profile of VvDXS alleles and monoterpenoid accumulation was investigated over an extended period of berry development. It is possible that a particular trend in expression rather than the level of expression ratio affects monoterpenoid accumulation in Moscato Bianco. In vivo experiments using transgenic tobacco and in vitro enzymatic assays suggest that the putative causal SNP raises monoterpenoid accumulation by changing the 3D protein structure and by increasing VvDXS activity in Muscat enzyme form

Phantom pain
No full textAlmost anyone with a limb amputation experiences phantom sensations. Moreover, the majority of amputees experience
pain. This phenomenon is known as ‘Phantom pain’ and is described as the pain felt from a body part, usually a limb,
which is no longer present. Several mechanisms have been proposed in attempt to explain this phenomenon with some
being more prevalent than others. Cortical remapping seems to explain a substantial part of the occurrence of phantom
pain and will be focused upon throughout this review. Since the exact mechanism underlying phantom limb pain is
unknown, treatment for this condition is still quite primitive and is mostly by trial and error. However, ‘Mirror Therapy’
has recently been suggested which seems to show promising results for the effective treatment of phantom pain.peer-reviewe
