ABSTRACT Grapes for winemaking are harvested in months of high precipitation and temperatures that favor fungal infection. The cycle inversion technique promotes fall-winter harvesting with slower maturation and improved quality. However, the incidence of latent Botrytis cinerea Pers. in the berries and the susceptibility of cultivars under this pruning system have yet to be studied. We evaluated the incidence of latent B. cinerea in grape berries under cycle inversion at pre-ripening and the susceptibility of different cultivars to B. cinerea infection at maturity. The experiment was conducted in a commercial vineyard in São Roque, São Paulo. The red grape cultivars evaluated were Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Syrah, and Marselan, and the white grapes were Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. The incidence of latent B. cinerea in the berries ranged from 1 % to 33 % in the different cultivars and harvest seasons evaluated. Artificially inoculated B. cinerea (10 5 conidia m L –1 ) did not cause disease in detached, unwounded ripe berries. However, berries from all cultivars showed symptoms of gray mold and signs of the pathogen when artificially inoculated with the same concentration of conidia plus the nutritional contribution of grape juice in a 1:1 ratio. fallwinter fall winter quality However Pers studied B preripening pre ripening maturity Roque Paulo Franc Malbec Syrah Marselan Blanc 3 10 (1 – detached 11 1: ratio (

RESUMO A variabilidade isoenzimática para seis populações de Grevillea robusta, oriundas de um teste de procedências/progenies, implantado no delineamento em blocos casualizados com 5 plantas por parcela, no Sul do Brasil, é descrita. A estrutura genética da população foi analisada utilizando-se marcadores bioquímicos, aos 5 anos de idade, especificamente para os locos MDH-3, PGM-2, DIA-2, PO-1, PO-2, SOD-1, e SKDH-1. As procedências do norte de ocorrência natural (Rathdowney e Woodenbong) apresentaram divergência genética superior, em relação à média das progênies, considerando o número de alelos por locus, (Ap), a riqueza alélica (Rs), a diversidade genética de Nei (H), e o coeficiente de endogamia (f). A endogamia foi detectada em diversos graus. A testemunha comercial apresentou o maior coeficiente de endogamia, (f = 0,4448), comparativamente à média das procedências (f = 0,2306), possivelmente devido à insuficiente amostragem populacional na região de origem (Austrália). Apesar de sua ocorrência natural restrita, observou-se correlação positiva entre divergência genética e distância geográfica entre as populações originais. A distância genética e análise de cluster, baseada no modelo bayesiano, mostrou três grupos de procedências distintos: 1) Rathdowney-QLD e Woodenbong-QLD; 2) Paddy's Flat-NSW; e 3) Mann River-NSW, Boyd River-NSW e a testemunha comercial (material utilizado no Brasil). O agrupamento da testemunha com as procedências Mann River-NSW e Boyd River-NSW sugere um maior potencial das procedências do norte para o melhoramento genético visando à produção de madeira no Brasil, devido a sua elevada diversidade genética e baixo coeficiente de endogamia.

ABSTRACT We describe isoenzymes variability in six populations of Grevillea robusta from a provenances and progenies test established in a randomized block design with five plants per replication in Southern Brazil. The population genetic structure was examined by using biochemical markers in 5-year old trees, specifically at MDH-3, PGM-2, DIA-2, PO-1, PO-2, SOD-1, and SKDH-1 loci. The northern provenances (Rathdowney and Woodenbong) showed a strong divergence in relation to the average of provenances when alleles per locus (Ap), allele richness (Rs), Nei's gene diversity (H), and inbreeding coefficient (f) were considered. Inbreeding in varying degrees was detected. The commercial control showed the highest inbreeding coefficient, (f = 0.4448), whereas the provenance average was f = 0.2306, possibly due to insufficient sampling of populations in their origin (Australia). Despite its restricted natural range, a positive correlation between genetic divergence and geographic distance among original populations was detected. Genetic distance and cluster analyses based on the Bayesian model revealed three distinct provenance groups: 1) Rathdowney-QLD and Woodenbong-QLD; 2) Paddy's Flat-NSW; and 3) Mann River-NSW, Boyd River-NSW and the commercial control (material used in Brazil). The grouping of the control to both Mann River-NSW and Boyd River-NSW provenances suggests that the northern provenances have the highest potential for genetic improvement of wood productivity in Brazil, due to their high genetic diversity and low inbreeding coefficient.
