Pinot noir. Five Pinot noir clones (20Gm, 1–44Gm, 18Gm, 20–13Gm, 1–84Gm) were analyzed by 30 S-SAP primer combinations employing five MseI- and six universal retrotransposon primers. Altogether 670 markers were generated, revealing 4.8% clonal variation and four out of five Pinot noir clones could be differentiated. This S-SAP method provides an efficient tool to randomly screen for polymorphisms produced through retrotransposition processes in the Vitis genome. ER -
