Abstract
Twelve native Vitis vinifera L. cultivars of Cyprus were
genotyped at 11 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers.
The obtained microsatellite allelic profiles allowed
precise identification and discrimination of all tested
cultivars. Each cultivar had a unique allelic profile. The low
PI value (5.1 x 10-9) demonstrated the high descriptive power
of the chosen markers for the investigated set of grapevines.
Three cases of synonymy of Cyprus cultivars with
cultivars grown in other countries under different names
were verified: (1) Cyprus Malaga and Muscat of Alexandria,
(2) Cyprus Lefkas and Greek Verdzami, and (3) Cyprus
Moscato, Bulgarian Tamyanka and Italian Moscato
Bianco. The homonymy of Cyprus Sideritis and Greek
Sideritis as well as of Cyprus Mavro and Bulgarian Mavrud
was shown not to rely on genetic similarity.
