Abstract

The biodiversity of the Vitaceae Juss family is studied with more interest than before, but still not fully according to the current scientific literature. For example, indigenous varieties and wild forms of grapes are known in the Crimea, Dagestan, along the banks of the Don and in other regions, but there is practically no data about wild and autochthonic grapes in the Kuban. This work presents new data about wild grapes studied in the Krasnodar region in the forests of the “Red forest” reserve. The ecological and geographical conditions of their growth are studied in detail. The description of plant community where the studied plant forms grow is conducted. Isolated populations of wild grapes, presumably belonging to the species of Vitis vinifera ssp. silvestris Gmel. or its varieties - var. Tipica Negr. (typical wild forest grapes) were ampelographically studied. Samples were taken for further genetic analysis to identify the origin of these forms and identify promising donors of resistance to various environmental stressors for use in the breeding process.

Highlights

The wild grape form (Vitis vinifera ssp. silvestris Gmel. and its existing varieties) are forest climbing plants that grow in separate populations [1]
2 Materials and methods In May-June 2020, expedition work was conducted on the territory of the State Nature Reserve "Red forest" in order to search for wild forms of grapes, study their ecological growing conditions and morpho-biological features
Due to the ability of the wild vine to interbreed with the cultivated vine, these valuable qualities of wild grapes will be transferred to the cultivated varieties by including them as donors of resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors in the breeding process

Summary

Introduction

The wild grape form (Vitis vinifera ssp. silvestris Gmel. and its existing varieties) are forest climbing plants that grow in separate populations [1]. Its existing varieties) are forest climbing plants that grow in separate populations [1]. The wildgrowing subspecies of the cultivated grape – Vitis vinifera ssp. Grapes are the only species of cultivated plants that have an indigenous origin in Eurasia. It appeared more than 65 million years ago [12]. It was divided into subspecies much later, due to differences in the morphology of this plant [13]. The grape is a unique plant, as it is the main agricultural crop, and it has ancient historical roots with the development of human culture and civilization [14,15]
