Abstract

Selection and introduction of superior genotypes among the available germplasm is one of the first steps for production and breeding programs of plants in each country. For this purpose, collecting, identifying and evaluating of Iranian grape germplasm, to obtain the best cultivars was started at year 2000. During 20 years, by carrying out many projects, along with the registration of quantitative and qualitative traits as well as vegetative and reproductive characteristics, different domestic grape genotypes were investigated using the instructions for differentiation, uniformity and stability (DUS) of grapes. Evaluation of resistance to winter-spring cold, measurement of cold and heat requirements, examination of the degree days required for flowering and fruit ripening, preparation and measurement of raisin traits, organization and separation of synonymous and homonymies were carried out for use in research, study, implementation and development work. Finally, according to all evaluations, Amin was the best variety among the studied genotypes in terms of many traits, such as: large cluster, large berry size (at least three grams), elongated berry (3-4 cm), berry with dark red color, maximum one seed per berry, nearly earliness, thick berry skin, low berry drops (good connection of berries to cluster) and avoiding from spring cold compared to common cultivars in the country. Thus, it can be used in the construction of new grape orchards or the improvement of existing low-yields orchards.
