Abstract

Vitaceae is a family with 14 genera and 900 species, including grapes. Grapes belong to the Vitis genus, which is considered as two sub-genera, including Euvitis and Muscadinia. Muscadine grapes are sometimes considered a separate genus in different classification systems. The genus Muscadinia includes three species: M. rotundifolia, M. munsoniana, and M. popenoei. The Euvitis sub-genus includes the most important grape varieties and is divided into three groups. The American group is one of them and consists of about 30 species that are important in rootstock breeding. The other one is the Asian group consisting of about 50 species. The last one is the Eurasian group, including a single species, Vitis vinifera L., which forms most of the different cultivated grape varieties in the world. There are two sub-species of Vitis vinifera: Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris, which is considered the wild form of grape, and Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera, which refers to cultivated forms. In general, twenty grape species are vitally important in rootstock breeding programs. These species are either used directly as rootstocks or have been engaged in hybridization to produce the wide range of rootstocks.
