RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Determination of Genetic Relationships of Albariño and Loureira Cultivars with the Caíño Group by Microsatellites JF American Journal of Enology and Viticulture JO Am. J. Enol. Vitic. FD American Society for Enology and Viticulture SP 371 OP 375 DO 10.5344/ajev.2011.10040 VO 62 IS 3 A1 Emilia Díaz-Losada A1 Andrea Tato Salgado A1 Ana María Ramos-Cabrer A1 Santiago Pereira-Lorenzo YR 2011 UL http://www.ajevonline.org/content/62/3/371.abstract AB The grapevine germplasm bank EVEGA contains 135 accessions of 15 Galician cultivars. Analysis with 33 polymorphic microsatellites (SSRs) indicate that Albariño and Loureira could be related to the Caíño group in western Galicia, Spain. Likelihood ratios support the hypothesis of significant parentage relationship between Albariño and Caíño Bravo as parents of Caíño Blanco. Loureira shared alleles for each locus with Caíño Bravo, indicating close relationship by hybridization. Caíño Bravo was related directly with four cultivars (Caíño Blanco, Caíño Longo, Castañal, and Loureira) and with two others (Caíño Redondo1 and Sousón), with which it shared 32 of 33 loci, indicating that it could be the origin of this lineage, as the key cultivar of the Caíño group.
