Collection and Preliminary Identification of Local Grapevine Cultivars in West Azarbaijan

Evaluation and identification of local cultivars of grapevine can provide a good gene bank, useful for breeding of this tree. A high diversity in local grapevine cultivars exists in West Azarbaijan province, therefore, a comprehensive study on different characteristics and collection of these cultivars was necessary. The present investigation was carried out during a period of six years (1993-1999), in which forty five morphological characteristics of forty seven local cultivars of grapevine at different growth stages before flowering, during flowering, berry set and ripening were determined according to the IBPGRʹs decriptors. General characteristics of cultivars indicated that all cultivars belonged to Vitis vinifera L. species. Six cultivars Sachakh, Lalbideneh Ghermez, Gezel Ozum, Khalili Ghermez, Ghara Gandomeh and Gazandahi having inverse flay were also determined. These cultivar can be used in breeding program.
