Introduction
Botanical name: Vitis vinifera L.
Family: Vitaceae
Chromosome number: 2n= 2x=38

Centre Of Origin And Domestication:
Grape originated in Asia minor, in the region between and to the south of
black and caspian seas. and considered as home of Vitis vinifera ,from
which all cultivated grapes were derived (Vavilov, 1951). • American
grapes, belonging to a large number Euvitis and Muscadinia species have

Distribution • The important grape growing countries in the world as
Spain, Italy, France, U.S.A., South Africa, Iran, China, Turkey, Bulgaria,
Greece, Romania, Hungary, Argentina, Australia. • In India, it is one of

South India. • Grape is also cultivated in the Northern States of Punjab,
Haryana, and UP.
Taxonomy:
Grape belongs to the family Vitaceae. It contains about 12 genera and
600 sps. The most promising genera are Vitis, Ampelocissus, Cissus,
Parthenocissus, Tetrastigma, Cayratia and Leea. Earlier Vitis genus was
divided into two subgenera i.e., Euvitis and Muscadinia, but now
Muscadinia has been given the generic status. Genus Muscadinia includes
3 sps..
1. M. rotundifolia (Muscadine grapes)
2. M. munsoniana (Simpson or little muscadine grape)
3. M. Popenoeifennel (Mexican muscadine grape)
