Population Structure, and Comparative Genome Hybridization of European flor yeast reveal a unique family with few gene duplications.

ABSTRACT: Wine biological ageing is led in different countries in Europe: Spain, Italy, France, and Hungary, but until now no comparison of all these flor strains has been led. In this manuscript we investigated the population structure of these European flor strains from their microsatellite genotypes and analysed as well as their ploidy. We showed that almost all of these strains belong to the same cluster, and are mainly diploids. In order to detect a shared amplification pattern, we compared the hybridization profile on array of 6 flor strains from these four countries, and found only 2 genes amplified in the genome of 4 strains. Finally FLO11 polymorphism analysis revealed that most strains carry a 111 deletion in ICR1 non coding RNA, except a group of Jura Flor strains, which in contrast presented longer central core of the protein Flo11p. These results show that amplification is very likely not the main mechanism leading to the adaptation of flor yeast, and suggest that different adaptive itineraries can leading to an increase of hydrophobicity and velum formation. Wine and flor strains hybridization on affymetrix yeast2 arrays are compared to S288C Each strain is compared to S288C and is hybridized in duplicate or triplicate
