Status Report of Vitis germplasm in CROATIA D. Preiner, E. Maletić University of Zagreb, Faculty of Agriculture. 1. Importance of the Viticulture in the country Total surface: 18678 ha (2010), Register of grape and wine producers. Total vineyard area: 26111 ha (2010). 2. Collections or germplasm banks for Vitis 1) Faculty of Agriculture Zagreb, experimental station Jazbina: - National collection of native grapevine V. vinifera varieties: 128 Vitis vinifera accessions of native cultivars. - Collection of introduced cultivars and clones: 93 accessions (57 V. vinifera wine cvs. Including 26 clones; 12 interspecific hybrids-wine cvs.; 24 table grape cvs.) 2) Regional (safety) collections: - Institut for Adriatic crops and carst reclamation, Split – Collection of Dalmatia region: 130 accessions of ≈ 90 V. vinifera cultivars. - Collection of native grapevine cultivars of Primorsko-Goranska county – Risika, Island of Krk: 22 native V. vinifera cvs. - Collection of native grapevine cultivars of Hrvatsko zagorje – Donja Pačetina, Krapinsko-Zagorska county: 18 accessions of native V. vinifera cvs. 3. Status of characterization of the collections In all collections characterisation (ampelographic and genetic) is in progress. 4. References of germplasm collections or databases in internet Croatian plant genetic resources database: http://cpgrd.zsr.hr/gb/fruit/ 5. Main varieties in the country In 2010: Graševina B (Welschriesling) (26%) Malvazija istarska (Malvasia Istriana) B (10%) Plavac mali N (9%) Merlot N (4%) Plavina N (3%) Riesling B (3%) Cabernet Sauvignon N (3%) Chardonnay B (3%) Trbljan B (3%) Frankovka N (Blaufränkisch) (2%) Others (less than 2% each): Kujundžuša B N; Babić; Pošip B; Debit B; Moslavac (Furmint) B; Ugni blanc B; Maraština B; Teran N; Pinot blanc B; Kraljevina Rs; Grenache N; Vranac N; Traminer Rg; Sauvignon blanc B; etc. 6. Table grapes Table grapes are of minor importance in Croatia, representing about 1% of the Croatian vineyard area. Most important (and most spread)variety is Cardinal (about 60%), then Victoria (about 15%), Muscat Hamburg (about 10%), Chasselas blanc (5%), others (Matilde, Prima…). 7. Selection or breeding programmes in course Faculty of Agriculture carries out a small scale breeding program for qualitative and resistance improvement of native genetic resources. 8. Clonal selection status Programs of clonal selection of 13 most important native cultivars are in progress. They are conducted by Faculty of Agriculture Zagreb. In the next few years the first clones will be available for market. 9. Catalogue or reliable publication with a list of the confirmed synonymies In progress 10. Number (or list) of endangered cultivars See paragraph 17 below. 11. Main international varieties cultivated In 2010: Graševina (Welschriesling) (26%) Merlot (4%) Cabernet Sauvignon(3%) Chardonnay (3%) Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) (2%) Others (less than 2% each): Ugni blanc, Pinot blanc, Grenache, Traminer, Sauvignon blanc, etc. 12. Main rootstocks used. List of rootstocks recommended Cultivars marked in bold are the most commonly used rootstocks: In 2010: Sélection Oppenheim 4 (26,62%) Kober 5 BB (23,87%) 110 Richter (21,57%) 1103 Paulsen (16,41%) 140 Ruggeri (6,17%) Others (less then 2% each) : 420 A, Paulsen 775, Chasselas x Berlandieri 41B, Couderc 3309, 125AA, Paulsen 779, Binova. 13. Use of microsatellites in characterization Nine microsatellites are currently used to check identities. 14. Sanitary status of the propagated material Material is propagated following the European Union regulations and phytosanitary passport. In 2010 proportion of “certified” planting material was 30,28%, and “standard” material 69,72%. High level of virus infection is determined in populations of autochthonous cultivars. 15. Main reference publications related to Vitis varieties or clones See list at the end of the chapter. 16. Existence of old vineyards with old autochthonous cultivars and not clonally selected material Most of the vineyards of autochthonous cultivars are planted with unselected materials. There are still no registered clones or even certified planting material of autochthonous cultivars. 17.

Neglected cultivars (present in repositories only) So far all of the cultivars present in our repositories are present also in some of the vineyards. 19. Occurrence of V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris in wild habitats There are only two discovered habitats of V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris in Croatia (Slavonia and Dalmatia region). 20. Is on farm evaluation and maintenance carried out? On farm evaluation is not performed. All evaluations are performed in collections (main – national, or safety collections). 21. Realization of prospections (minor cultivars, clones, Vitis species) Prospections are carried out both for minor cultivars and clones. There is ongoing clonal selection of most important autochthonous cultivars and evaluation of minor cultivars. After their confirmation (amphelographic and genetic) minor cultivars are included in national collection. Because of limited resources (financial and others) we still don’t have a collection (repository) of clones, except a few experimental fields where only virus free clone candidates are evaluating in process of clonal selection. 22. Is particular attention paid to preservation of clones? There are still no certified clones of autochthonous cultivars, and therefore their preservation is not possible. Uncertified “clones” (interesting genotypes of some cultivars, for ex. Plavac mali, because of intravarietal diversity preservation) are preserved within the existing collections of autochthonous cultivars (National collection at Zagreb and regional collection at Split). There is still no institution with resources needed for collection of clones, or for maintenance of high qualitative categories of future certified clones. 23. Are there any organizations responsible for grape germplasm, e.g. linking gene banks or coordinating activities? The official institution responsible for the maintenance of grape germplasm is the National commission for plant genetic resources (under Ministry of Agriculture). National collection of autochthonous grapevine cultivars is maintained and coordinated by Faculty of Agriculture Zagreb. National commission is also responsible for coordination of network of all institutions which have vitis gene banks. 24. Existence of national respectively regional programs/projects There is a lot of projects/programs concerning on native grape varieties preservation and revitalization in Croatia.
