Resumen:
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the oldest and most important perennial
crops in the world used for the production of wine and table grapes, raisins,
juices, liquors and vinegars. This is a diploid species (2n = 2x = 38) with a
relatively small genome size of 475-500 Mb.
The characterization and identification of varieties, cultivars, sports and
clones has always been a central concern in viticultural research. Trueness-totype
is necessary when planting vineyards, making wine, managing germplasm
collections, choosing parents for controlled crosses, and legally protecting new
cultivars.
Historical evidence and information, combined with morphological data
(ampelography and ampelometry), have frequently been used to characterize
cultivars and define cultivars relationships. However, conclusions on this basis
only are frequently questioned, leading to mistakes in identification . For
these reasons alternative methods for cultivar identification, which better
illustrate differences at the genotype level, are required.Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the oldest and most important perennial
