Molecular, chemical and morphological tools to explore Vertzami / Marzemino /Barzemino / Balsamina cultivar group / M. Labra, V. Fasoli, O. Failla, A. Spinardi, N. Nikolau, M. Stefanini, P. Villa, A. Scienza. - In: ACTA HORTICULTURAE. - ISSN 0567-7572. - 603(2003), pp. 217-223.
Abstract:
The relationships within the Vertzami / Marzemino /Barzemino / Balsamina group were investigated with the aim to recover intra-variety biodiversity. Vertzami is a variety grown in Lefkas (a Greek Ionian island) considered to be very close to Marzemino, which is grown in north-eastern Italy as well as Barzemino and Balsamina, which at the present are germplasm relics. More than fifty accessions were sampled including: Vertzami from different sites in Lefkas; Marzemino from different localities and germplasm collections; Barzemino from germplasm collection or from old and marginal vineyards; Balsamina from germplasm collections. Accessions were analysed by molecular (SSR and AFLP markers), chemotaxonomic (anthocyanin profile of berry skin) and morphological (phyllometry) methods. Results showed that Vertzami / Marzemino-Barzemino / Balsamina are different varieties even if phylogenetically related. Vertzami accessions did not show any genetic diversity and very low phenotypical differences. Marzemino accessions displayed a minor genetic and phenotypic diversity. Results support the idea that Vertzami is a distinct member of this cultivar family, which had origin in Italy and that was introduced in Lefkas by Venetians during their dominion of the Ionian islands (XIV-XVIII centuries).
