Molecular Contribution to the Knowledge of Two Ancient Varietal Populations: 'Rabosi' and 'Glere'

Genetic investigation of grapevine varieties ‘Ribolla Gialla’ (Italy), ‘Rebula’ (Slovenia) and ‘Robola’ (Ionian Islands)

“…Unexpectedly, 'Glera Medena' matched the SSR profile of 'Pinela' inŠtajner et al (2008). These identifications confirm the confusion around the designation "Glera" in the sub-Mediterranean part of Slovenia, as evidenced by Crespan et al (2009). Among the Greek accessions, five cases of homonymy were detected: Robola 1/Robola 2 and Robola 6/Robola 7 showed unique allelic profiles that were different from the other Robola accessions.…”

Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity and Relations Between Grapevine Varieties: Slovenian Germplasm

“…The synonymy found between 'Vitovska grganja' and 'Racuk' could not yet be confirmed despite obtaining identical allelic patterns, because an accurate morphological characterization of 'Racuk' is still lacking. The allelic profiles of our 'Vitovska grganja' have been further compared with the Italian variety 'Vitouska', recently published by [26] -dissimilarity was revealed at 14 out of 16 loci, and indicating that there is a compatible parent/progeny. The varieties 'Prosecco', 'Briška Glera' and 'Števerjana' form another group of synonyms.…”

“…'Prosecco' and 'Glera' have already been proved to be synonyms on the basis of morphological descriptors and isoenzyme analyses, while 'Števerjana' has not previously been considered to be a synonym. The variety 'Prosecco' takes its name from the village of Prosecco, in the Province of Trieste, where this variety is also known as 'Glera' [26]. The name for the variety 'Števerjana' may originate in Števerjan, a small village in North-East Italy (Collio), near the Slovenian border.…”

Evidence for a Sympatric Origin of Ribolla gialla, Gouais Blanc and Schiava cultivars (V. vinifera L.)

“…The name Prosecco tondo could have arisen from the village of Prosecco (Trieste, Friuli Venezia Giulia), and its synonyms are Teran Bijeli in Croatia Maletić et al, 1999), and Briška Glera and Števerjana in Slovenia (Štajner et al, 2011). Varieties called "Glera" are cultivated in Italy (Cividale and Tieste) and in neighbouring countries (Crespan et al, 2009;Rusjan et al, 2010). The allelic profile of Bela Glera was genetically dissimilar to the other Glera/Prosecco tondo allelic profiles reported in previous works (Štajner et al, 2008;Crespan et al, 2009;Rusjan et al, 2010).…”

This dissimilarity could be explained by the use of the word "Glera" to identify a group of white grapevine varieties (Vertovec, 1844).…”
