Introgressed R-genes for mildews
Rpv3: American Vitis species (rupestris ?) : ~ 150 years
Rpv10: Asian Vitis amurensis : ~ 80 years
Rpv12: Asian Vitis amurensis : ~ 80 years
Rpv1/Run1: Muscadinia rotundifolia : ~ 30 years
several others: fewer generations of backcrossing

A selective sweep is the reduction of variation in
neighboring DNA of a favorable allele as the result of
recent and strong positive selection
With time, the positively selected haplotype increases
in frequency relative to other haplotypes

DM Historical breeding revisited
A few resistant wild accessions proved useful for generating
meritorious wine grape selections
Genetic bottlenecks were imposed by the phenotypic selection for
high resistance and wine quality attributes
Different breeders selected for the same genes/haplotypes, at
different times, under diverse environmental conditions
Selective sweeps have reduced genetic variability at major R loci
Breeding programs in different countries are relying on a few Rgenes introgressed into a highly-vinifera background
Novel sources are needed for future breeding as well as
rapid/precise methods of introgression
