Genomic DNA was extracted from 100 mg of young leaf tissue by the
DNeasy™ Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen - Hilden, Germany), following the manufacture’s instructions. The quality (260/230 and 260/280 ratios) and quantity of DNA extracted were checked using the
NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and the
Quant-iT dsDNA HS assay kit for Qubit 3.0 Fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific), respectively.
The
Vitis18kSNP array (Illumina Inc., San Diego, California), containing 18,071 SNPs, were used to genotype the 195 samples. The amplifications were performed on 200 ng of genomic DNA by the laboratory of Fondazione Edmund Much (San Michele all’Adige, Trento, Italy). SNP calls were scored with
Genotyping Module 1.9.4 of the
GenomeStudio Data Analysis V2011.1 software (Illumina Inc.). SNP loci showing call quality values (p50GC) lower than 0.54 were removed from the final dataset, as well as loci having GenTrain (GT) score values lower than 0.6. [39 (
