RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Identification of New Synonymies in Minority Grapevine Cultivars from Galicia (Spain) Using Microsatellite Analysis JF American Journal of Enology and Viticulture JO Am J Enol Vitic. FD American Society for Enology and Viticulture SP 236 OP 240 DO 10.5344/ajev.2009.60.2.236 VO 60 IS 2 A1 Mar Vilanova A1 María de la Fuente A1 Mónica Fernández-González A1 Antón Masa YR 2009 UL http://www.ajevonline.org/content/60/2/236.abstract AB Twenty-five cultivars grown in Galicia (northwest Spain) and other six international cultivars have been analyzed in order to evaluate the genetic variability and cultivar relationships among them. Statistical analysis of 23 different genotypes found from six microsatellite markers (VVS2, VVMD5, VVMD7, VVMD27, ZAG62, and ZAG79) has shown three different groups. Several new synonymies were found among the minority cultivars analyzed. All the genotypes were compared to other databases and five more synonymies were found. A dendrogram shows the genetic similarities among the accessions and establishes the most probable relationship among them. Results also confirm, complement, and add new information to previous studies that have suggested the use of the variability in the phenolic compounds as a tool to identify phylogenetic relationships among these cultivars.
