Abstract

Research Note

Black Currant and Mavri Corinthiaki are considered synonyms for Corinthe Noir, a parthenocarpic seedless raisin cultivar. No differences between them were found by RAPD analysis with 1 1 primers. They also have the same genotype in 15 out of 16 microsatellite loci, demonstrating the Black Currant and Mavri Corinthiaki are essentially identical. Nevertheless, a difference was observed in one allele at one locus (VVMD7): the Black Currant genotype is 240:246 while the Mavri Corinthiaki genotype is 240:248. A mutation in the microsatellite sequence might be responsible for that difference. Possible consequences of such mutations are discussed.
