Selection of Georgian grapes and fruit genetic resources and history of breeding.
2023
Georgia is a homeland of origin and domestication of many many cultivated, wild and wildly growing plants in the world, which is distinguished by unique ecologic conditions and productive works of the local population. Investigation of local varieties of grapes and fruits was organized by the Research Institute of Horticulture, Viticulture and Oenology and its testing stations. The institute collected and described hundreds of varieties of local grapes and fruits and unique collections have been established as a result of many years of activities. Unique ampelographies and pomologies were prepared, providing significant influence on breeding process and elaboration of agro-technological rules for cultivations. The investigation became more significant during 1970-2000, when collection and research of traditional cultivars and their wild ancestors reached high level both from Georgian and foreign researchers. Today the Scientific-Research Center of Agriculture of the Ministry of Agriculture continues investigation of plant genetic resources, many researchers of which started their career at the Research Institute of Horticulture, Viticulture and Oenology.
