Abstract

We present here the first large-scale genetic characterization of grape cultivars from Transcau-casia and Anatolia. These regions where wild grapes still grow in nature have been cultivatingwine and table grapes for thousands of years and are considered the cradles of viticulture.Using 12 nuclear microsatellite markers, we genotyped 116 accessions of traditional grape cul-tivars from Armenia, Georgia and Turkey and we detected 17 identical genotypes and sixhomonymy cases, mainly within each national germplasm. Neighbour-joining analysis of gen-etic distance showed that each germplasm could have multiple origins and although they arenow separated, they might have some common ancestors. In addition, four varieties from Wes-tern Europe included as outgroups turned out to be more related to Georgian cultivars thanother germplasms, suggesting a possible ancient origin in Georgia. This work represents afirst step towards germplasm management of this rich ampelographic heritage.
