Abstract

Nine grapevine varieties from northwestern Spain (8 commonly known as types of Caíño and one as Tinta Femia) were characterised by constructing their typical ‘mean leaves’ and by determining their genetic profiles with respect to 6 microsatellite markers. Leaf morphologies were compared and the similarities between the cultivars were determined. Thirty three alleles were detected at the 6 microsatellite loci analysed. The different cultivars were successfully identified by both methods. In combination, the different techniques provide a more complete variety characterisation. Synonymy between these and other Spanish and Portuguese cultivars is discussed.
