As the results of this programme, 127 candidate clones belonging to 13 cultivars have been selected
This paper also includes a brief ampelographic description of the indigenous Turkish grape cultivars subjected to clonal selection, based mainly on fruit characteristics, growth, productivity and ripening periods in their primary locations.
