Tridge summary

An international team of researchers, led by the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences (ICVV) in Logroño, has discovered 'missing links' in the process of viticulture domestication in Montenegro. The study, published in the journal 'Scientific Reports', reveals the survival of primitive grape proto-varieties in Montenegro, providing insight into the ongoing domestication process of the grape. The research involves a genetic analysis of grapevines in Montenegro, identifying intermediate forms between wild and domesticated subspecies, suggesting a continuous flow of genetic material between the two. The findings offer a unique perspective on the early stages of vine domestication and the development of current vine varieties.

An international team of researchers from the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences (ICVV) located in Logroño have discovered in Montenegro "missing links" in the process of domestication of viticulture, through intermediate vine proto-varieties between wild and The process of domestication of the grape, started 8,000 years ago, still continues in regions such as Montenegro, in the former Yugoslavia, has specified the ICVV, which is a center integrated by the Higher Center for Scientific Research (CSIC), the The Riojan government and the University of La Rioja. These findings have just been published in the journal "Scientific Reports" (edited by Nature) in an article that describes how the genetic analysis of grapevines in this Balkan country reveals the survival of varieties very similar to the primitive and still capable of generating diversity in Vitis vinífera (vine) .In the study, ICVV researchers Javier Ibáñez -as coordinator- Jav ier Tello, Enrique García-Escudero, Miodrag ...
