Germplasm preparation and three-phase cloning

Measures

Germplasm is considered as initial material in the process of clone mutliplication and also serves as a genetic and sanitary repository for clones. The requirements for germplasm are higher in the phases following pre‑multiplication. In PLANSEL’s case, germplasm was prepared on top of a hill in Montemor on virgin soil, isolated from viticultural crops and grapevine virus vectors. All V. vinifera plant material was grafted on rootstocks of the same category
