Genetic Comparison of Greek Cultivars of Vitis vinifera L. By Nuclear Microsatellite Profiling

摘要

We have initiated the characterization of the Greek genetic resources of Vitis vinifera L. Through microsatellite profiling, with the aim of providing accurate identification of Greek cultivars and compiling the molecular data together with available ampelographic information in the form of a web-based database. This work reports microsatellite profiling results obtained on 50 Greek grapevine cultivars, including major wine and table grape cultivars, at 11 microsatellite (SSR; simple sequence repeats) loci.
