Use of microsatellites in characterization: Most of the germplasm banks are using microsatellites for characterization. These markers are also used for characterization or identification of varieties with different goals. At least the six microsatellites included in the OIV descriptors OIV 801 to 806 are used. Currently nine microsatellites are used to check identities and up to twenty for parentage studies.

Sanitary status of the propagated material: Material is propagated following the European Union regulations and the Spanish Office for the Obtainment of Plant Varieties (OEVV).

Main reference publications related to Vitis varieties or clones: See references at the end of this article.

Existence of old vineyards Out of the total surface for vineyards, around 40% of the total are plantings older than 30 years, most of them corresponding to old autochthonous cultivars.

Number/listing of minor cultivars (area below 1-3 ha) Distribution of vineyards of a surface below 3 ha is: 88,094 ha in plots below 1 ha (8% of the total surface) 71,674 ha in plots from 1 to 2 ha (7% of the total surface) 59,763 ha in plots from 2 to 3 ha (6% of the total surface)

Neglected cultivars (present in repositories only) All the neglected cultivars are preserved at least in the IMIDRA, at El Encín (see point 3, above). In many cases the regional repositories have also duplicates of the autochthonous cultivars of the area.

Occurrence of Vitis sylvestris in wild habitats

5 Localization of some populations of Vitis sylvestris in wild habitats of Spain: Castilla y León: province of León, margins of river Sella and Angulo and Mena valleys in the province of Burgos. Principado de Asturias: margins of rivers Sella, Covadonga, Cares y Deva. Cantabria: in zones with autochthonous vegetation located at meadows for feeding cattle, like in the environments of San Vicente de la Barquera. Other populations are located in areas of riparian vegetation near the rivers Deva, Asón, Calera and Gándara. País Vasco: in the meadows of the rivers Cadagua and Calera in Vizcaya, Ursuarán and Deva in Guipúzcoa, and Ega in Álava. Navarra: in the margins of the rivers Arga, Baztán, Bidasoa, Ega and Ulzama. Extremadura: in the province of Cáceres has been found in the riparian vegetation of the brooks Higuera and Fuente Blanca as well as in the Ambroz river. In Badajoz the populations are mainly distributed in the brooks and rivers of the counterforts of the Sierra Morena, near the brooks Álamo, Parrilla, Cabra and Albuera. Castilla-La Mancha: in the province of Ciudad Real, in the Sierra Morena and near the Despeñaperros pass. Andalucía: in the counterforts of the Sierra Morena, Despeñaperros river, Sierra de Cazorla, around the Serranía de Grazalema and in the mouth of the Guadalquivir river.

Is on farm evaluation and maintenance carried out? Although private vineyards carry out evaluation programs and maintain collections of cultivars and clones, there is not a coordinate action on this field. Reliable results usually proceed from experiments carried out by research groups working at public or private institutions.

Realization of prospections (minor cultivars, clones, Vitis species) Prospection is carried out by most of the germplasm banks located at different regions of the country. The minor or endangered plant material is studied and included in the germplasm bank.

Is particular attention paid to preservation of clones? Grapevine clones are selected either by private farmers or nurseries or by research centres. After characterized and registered they are ready for distribution to the farmers.

Are there any organizations responsible for grape germplasm, e.g. linking gene banks or coordinating activities? The national organism that regulates the germplasm is the already mentioned Spanish Office for the Obtainment of Plant Varieties (OEVV), working in coordination with the centres doing research in viticulture.
