3. Centre Of Origin And Domestication
• Grape originated in Asia minor, in the region between and to the south of black and caspian seas.
and considered as home of Vitis vinifera ,from which all cultivated grapes were derived (Vavilov,
1951).
• American grapes, belonging to a large number Euvitis and Muscadinia species have originated in
North America, referred to as ‘Vine land’( Zielinski,1955).
Distribution
• The important grape growing countries in the world as Spain, Italy, France, U.S.A., South Africa,
Iran, China, Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Hungary, Argentina, Australia.
• In India, it is one of the commercial important fruit crop of MH, Karnataka, AP, and TN in South
India.
• Grape is also cultivated in the Northern States of Punjab, Haryana, and UP.
4. GRAPE CULTIVATION REGIONS in INDIA
The cultivation of grapes began 6000 years ago on a domestic level in
Europe.
Cultivation of grapes in India shows beginning by about 2600 years ago.
Region 1: Mid temperate – Subtropical region Punjab, Haryana, Up ,
Rajasthan, Delhi.
Region 2:Entire Telangana , Rayalseema AP except chittoor and prakasam
.

6. Germplasm Resources
• Field gene banks of grapes are maintained at Division of Fruits and Horticultural
Technology, IARI, New Delhi, IIHR Bangalore, Ganesh Khand Botanical Garden, Pune etc. Further, 616
genotypes of grapes are maintained at IIHR, Bangalore. (Anon., 1996).
Wild species
The Vitis genes has approximately 60 inter fertile species. North-western Himalya is also
inhabited with two edible wild species viz. V. parviflora and V. lanata and numerous natural
hybrids of the two species which are locally grown.
Cytogenetic and genomic resources
Chromosomal Status: Commercial grapes mostly belong to Euvitis section comprising of V.
vinifera, V. labrusca, V. riparia and V. rupestris with the haploid chromosome number 19. In
the other section, Muscadinia, the haploid chromosome number is 20.

8. Taxonomy
• Grape belongs to the family Vitaceae. It contains about 12 genera and 600 sps.
• The most promising genera are Vitis, Ampelocissus, Cissus,Parthenocissus,
Tetrastigma, Cayratia and Leea.
• Earlier Vitis genus was divided into two subgenera i.e., Euvitis and Muscadinia, but
now Muscadinia has been given the generic status.
• Genus Muscadinia includes 3 sps..
• 1. M. rotundifolia (Muscadine grapes)
• 2. M. munsoniana (Simpson or little muscadine grape)
• 3. M. Popenoeifennel (Mexican muscadine grape)

10. TAXONOMICAL STATUS
• The most important species of Vitis are as follows
BOTANICAL NAME COMMON NAME CHARACTERS PICTURES
Vitis vinifera Common grape Flaky bark. leaves are
alternate, palmately
lobed long and broad.
The fruit is a berry can be
green, red, or purple
(black)
Vitis labrusca Fox grape high in phenolic
compounds,
11. Vitis aestivalis Summer grape vigorous vine,
The leaves long, sub
orbicular, fruit is a
small grape .
Vitis rupestris Sand grape used in breeding and as a
root stock;
Vitis cadicans Mustang grape dark purple berries thick
outer layer of flesh and
on average contain four
seeds
12. Vitis riparia Frost grape resistance
to phylloxera and
adaptation to variant soil
types
Vitis berlendicri Spanish grape rootstocks resistant
against
both phylloxera and lime,
and suitable for viticulture
Vitis monticola Sweet mountain grape smaller leaves and
shorter flower clusters.
Leaf blades as broad as
long blossoming in May
and June.
13. Floral biology
Flowers are small, green, sweetly scented and are borne on panicle on current seasons growth.
Three types of flowers viz. male, female and hermaphrodite occur in grapes. Varieties of V. vinifera
are mostly hermaphrodite.
A. Perfect Flowers: Pistil is functional; stamens are erect and produce fertile pollen.
B. Female Flowers: Pistil is well developed; stamens are refluxed and may produce abundant
pollen, but remain sterile owing to the absence of germ pores.
C. Male Flowers: Stamens are erect and anthers produce well-developed fertile pollen but pistil is
only rudimentary without stigma and style with only a small ovary containing incompletely
developed ovules.
Petals and sepals are (five in number) fused and during anthesis the petals detach from the base
forming a cap like structure called 'calyptra’.
14. • V.rotundifolia is dioecious in nature. Further Vitis sps had been originally dioecious sub-dioecious
but later on transformed to hermaphrodite.
• At present, most cultivars of V. vinifera are hermaphrodite in nature.
Based on the fertility level of pollen, grape can be grouped in to 3 categories.
• Self fertility group have erect stamens with obolong blunt and quite symmetrical pollen, size of
pollengrain is very small i.e., 0.0254mm in diameter.
• However, self-sterile and partly self-sterile is characterized by the presence of impotent pollen.
• According to Jauhari et al.(1969) peak time of anthesis under North Indian conditions was
between 7.00 to 9.00am.
• Self pollination is rule in V. vinifera grape, but cross pollintion is required in reflexed anther
cultivars .
15. Inheritance pattern
• Glabrous young shoot, thicker cane, longer cane and internodes,short stiff hair on leaf surface,smaller size of leaf, main
vein length and petiole length,vigorous and drooping habit of the vine,pentagonal leaf shape, shorter mturity period,low
bunch weight, round berry and oval shape of seed show dominance character.
• Singh and Jalikop (1986) reported high phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation for number of bunches per
vine but both these measures were low for 50 seed weight and seed per 50 berries.
• Wide difference were observed between Phenotypic coefficient of variation and the corresponding genotypic coefficient
of variation in respect of bunches per vine, bunch weight,volume of bunch and number of berries per bunch.
• All these characters are greatly influenced by environmental characters.
o The high heritability was observed for seed per berry and seed weight was not accompained with genetic advance
indicating that this characters can be modified through hybridization and selection.
o The berry weight and seed number for berry are governed by number of factors with complementary gene action.
– Berry colours are not sharply differentiated. The observations on heritability showed that black colour of berry is
dominant over red and white, and red is dominant over white.
17. BREEDING OBJECTIVES
To develop varieties with medium vigour and productive basal bud, which can be
trained on head or pandal system of training.
To develop high yielding and high quality varieties with increased fruitfulness of
basal buds, less degree of apical dominance, suitability for different purpose such as
table, raisin, wine and juice and resistance to diseases.
To develop early maturing, seedless and sweet cultivars for table purpose.
To induce resistance to anthracnose, Phylloxera and chaffer beetle.
To develop root stocks resistant to salinity, nematodes and drought.

28. MUTATION BREEDING
• Mutation breeding may be attempted as a complementary tool in grape breeding for one or more
important characters, without altering the whole genetic setup. The important mutagens used in grape
breeding are physical mutagens (χ ray and γ rays ) and chemical mutagens (Ethyl Methane Sulphonate
(EMS),N-Nitroso-N-Methyl Urethane (NMUT) and N-Nitrose-N-Methyl-Urea (NMU)
CULTIVAR FEATURES
New Perlette (Loose Perlette) comparatively loose bunch than perlette, Self
thinning property
Red Niagara having red fruit from Niagara
Robin Cardinal an early maturing variety from Cardinal
29. Polyploidy breeding:
Polyploidy breeding has immense importance in the improvement of table grapes.
The chief benefit from polyploidy is the increase in berry size.
Autotetraploids are found to be considerably sterile and are less productive than the parents.
The crossing of diploid with induced tetraploids may help in evolving new triploid seedless grapes.
The triploids are highly sterile.
Allo tetraploids even between infertile species have been more desirable as commercial varieties. Colchicine is
generally used as an aqueous solution of 0.25-5.0% with 5-10% glycerine to induce polyploidy.
Marvel Seedless from Delight, Early Giant from Campbell, Muscat Common Hall from Muscat Alexandria, Black
King from Campbell, Wallis Giant from Concord, Case from Sultana …etc. are important examples of polyploidy.
30. Biotechnological tools:
Embryo rescue technique:
Seedlessness is a desirable character for table and raisin grapes.
Inheritance of seedlessness is postulated to depend on two complementary recessive genes and only about
7.5% of the total progeny from crosses between Seeded x Seedless grapes produced fruits without noticeable
seed traces.
The embryo rescues theoretically increases the proportion of seedless progeny as it makes possible to cross
two seedless varieties.
Ovules are excised before abortion and are cultured on either filter paper in liquid medium or solid medium .
Some encouraging preliminary results have been obtained on Agro bacterium mediated transformation of
grape vines.
But the production of genetically transformed grape vines which express a marker gene is yet to be reported.
Genetic engineering / plant transformation:
31. Protoplast culture:
Protoplasts are of great importance as tool for genetic amelioration and somatic hybridization.
But regeneration of grape vines from protoplasts has not yet been successful
Anther culture:
Anther culture can result into haploid grape vines which can then be developed into homozygous
diploids by doubling chromosomes.
These homozygous diploids will be very useful for producing F1 hybrids and for making genetic
studies.
But there is low success rate of regeneration of grape vines from anther and only one case of
haploid has been reported in grape.
32. • Very little work has been done in India on breeding cultivars showing resistance to biotic and abiotic
stresses.
• Species like V. berlandierl, V. ripeiia, V. Candicans, V. longii and V .Champini tolerate excessive salt in
the soil and thus can be used in improvement programmes oriented to breed salt resistant types (Jindal
and Srinivasa Rao, 1988).
• The two rootstocks (Dog Ridge and Salt Creek) impart nematode and salt resistance to the grafts. Another
rootstock Hormony (an open-pollinated seedling of the cross Dog Ridge x Couderc 1613) has also been
found highly effective in imparting nematode resistance.

34. DIFFICULTIES IN GRAPE
BREEDING
• The root stocks which are tolerant to any biotic or abiotic stresses are susceptable to
some other problems .
• The released rootstocks are not suitable to all types of environmental conditions and
soils.
• Pollen storage for hybridisation technique.
