Abstract

Thirty-three native Tunisian grapevine varieties (Vitis vinifera L.), previously analysed with biochemical tools, were surveyed with RAPD markers, Eleven primers amplified 54 clear and unambiguous markers. Five groups of varieties were clearly resolved by UPGMA cluster analysis. These results allowed the discrimination of groups of varieties that could not be discriminated by biochemical analyses. In addition, the dendrogram obtained could be shown being independent from both the phenotypic characters and the origin of the accessions.
