Genetic Resources for Viticulture

The grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a species with great genetic diversity, mainly due to the history of grapevine cultivation and vegetative multiplication, which have allowed the conservation of cultivars for centuries. Throughout the history of viticulture, winegrowers have been selecting the grapevine varieties that have best adapted to their requirements, which shows that phytogenetic resources can be used to address the problems facing the viticulture sector. This Special Issue compiles several recently published scientific papers that contribute to expanding the knowledge of grapevine genetic resources. It includes papers related to the identification and agronomic, physiological, and enological characterization of local and new grapevine varieties, rootstocks, clones, and interspecific hybrids.
