Abstract: A molecular marker for identifying Vitis vinifera and its interspecific hybrid grapes and an application thereof are provided. Through whole-genome resequencing data analysis, a significant InDel locus IH1 is identified, which is located at 7,224,357 base pairs (bp) on chromosome 13 of grapes. This locus shows genotypic differences between Vitis vinifera and its interspecific hybrids. Through the differences in the number and distribution of electrophoretic bands, Vitis vinifera and its interspecific hybrids may be distinguished. Based on the characteristics of this molecular marker, it may be used for screening of interspecific hybrid progeny lines in the early stage of breeding and elimination of selfed progeny. At the same time, it may also conduct screening of the genetic background of seedlings.

Abstract: A method for breeding a new grape variety with red flesh and seedlessness based on molecular markers is provided. The molecular markers are identified significantly associated with grape red flesh and seedlessness traits through whole-genome analysis. The molecular markers may identify the phenotypic traits of grape red flesh and seedlessness at the initial stage of hybrid seedlings by using the electrophoretic banding patterns of amplified molecular marker gene fragments.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are disclosed for regulating access of consumers (e.g., applications, containers, or VMs) to resources and services (e.g., storage). In one embodiment, this regulation occurs through the movement of consumers between different providers of a resource or service, such as a cloud service provider. Moving consumers includes, for example, determining the cost of moving the consumer from a first provider to a second provider. According to various embodiments, the cost of moving the consumer is compared to cost and performance criteria associated with moving the consumer from the first provider to the second provider. Cloud-based services may be priced as templates, reserved instances, or a combination.
