Research lines

Our group is interested in understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms of the grapevine, responsible for the regulation of different traits related to the grape and wine quality. In particular our work focuses on: i) studying the genetic control of the anthocyanins profiles in grape skin; ii) the molecular and genetic analysis of stilbene synthase gene family (STS) that regulates the production of resveratrol; and iii) the study of genes involved in determining the size and shape of the berry.

Our approach is based on characterizing and exploiting the grapevine natural genetic variation for these traits using genetic and genomic tools. To this end, we collaborate with other groups in the characterization and genetic analysis of different materials (grapevine varieties, wild accessions, clones, somatic variants and mapping populations). In addition, we participate in the development and application of new genomic analysis tools such as molecular markers (SNPs and SSRs) and microarrays to analyze global gene expression.

The generation of this knowledge has direct application to the selection of clones and varieties with new productive features. Moreover, the developed tools have wide application for genetic identification as well as for monitoring the grape development or the response to different environmental or culture conditions.
