The Kuban grapes wild forms growing on the Red Forest nature reserve territory

Abstract

Modern scientific literature analysis on the Vitaceae Juss. Family biodiversity study showed that this issue is relevant today and is being studied by many scientists in our country more intensively than before, although not so deeply. For example, there is some information on indigenous varieties and grapes wild plants from Crimea, Dagestan, Don and other regions. Unfortunately, there is almost no scientific information on the Kuban wild forms and autochthons. This article contains a part or, one might say, a new large research work beginning on the Kuban grapes wild plants study, studied on the Krasnodar Territory, namely in the Red Forest state nature reserve. At the same time, their ecological and geographic growing conditions were studied with a phytocenoses detailed description. Found isolated populations of grapes, hypothetically could be Vitis vinifera ssp. Silvestris Gmel. or its variants var. Tipica Negr. (wild forest grapes). Wild-growing grapes samples genotypic was carried out for 7 microsatellite loci. The samples genetic similarity analysis according to the microsatellite analysis data revealed the close and most distant genotypes among the wild forms studied sample.
