-          VITI 2/2007

PUBLICATION OF THE 3rd EDITION OF “OIV DESCRIPTOR LIST OF GRAPE VINE VARIETIES AND Vitis SPECIES”

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

AT THE PROPOSAL of Commission I "Viticulture",

Based on the work of the “Genetic Resources and Vine Selection” Experts Group (GENET Group) and on the proposal of Commission I “Viticulture”, 

CONSIDERING the importance of harmonising Vitis variety descriptors between the OIV and other international organisations, particularly the consultations held with UPOV with this objective,

CONSIDERING the Resolution C 1/38-VIT on the establishment of a general method of studying ampelographic questions,

CONSIDERING the Resolution AG 11/57-VIT on the creation and publication of the international ampelographic register,

CONSIDERING the progress made regarding the description and identification of Vitis varieties field since the 1st Edition of “Descriptor list of grapevine varieties and Vitis species” of the OIV published in 1983, and the 2nd Edition of “OIV Descriptor list for grape varieties and Vitis species” published in 2009,

CONSIDERING Resolutions VITI 2/90 and VITI 5/90 and the scientific work being currently carried out by scientists of international renown in ampelography, which is resulting, through studies in progress, in a number of very useful national and/or international databases,

CONSIDERING Resolution VITI 1/98 and the importance of better understanding the types of varieties cultivated and their respective planted surface areas around the world, taking into account the frequent use of synonyms versus homonyms in different countries,

CONSIDERING Resolution OIV/VITI 424/2010 and the urgent need to protect the precious world heritage that vine varieties represent,

CONSIDERING Resolution OIV-VITI 467-2012 based on the harmonization of standardized descriptors (OIV ampelographic descriptor list, 2009), whose object is to provide an ampelographic description of reference for a given grapevine variety,

CONSIDERING the importance of grapevine breeding for better answer future and actual cultural conditions (OIV-VITI 515-2013, OIV-VITI 564A-2017, OIV-VITI 564B-2019),

CONSIDERING Resolution OIV-VITI 609-2019 OIV protocol for identification of varieties,

CONSIDERING that quantitative traits are highly influenced by non-genetic factors and, consequently, the correspondent descriptors are less discriminating,

DECIDES to adopt the descriptors updates, validated by competent international experts and endorsed within the framework of the Commission I “Viticulture”,

DECIDES to withdraw the Resolutions AG 11/57-VIT, AG 1/82-VIT and VITI 2/2007,

DECIDES, replacing the 2nd Edition, to adopt and publish the 3rd Edition of “OIV Descriptor list of grape vine varieties and Vitis species”, including the following list of descriptors,

MANDATES the GENET Group to describe the following list of descriptors that are included in the 3rd Edition of “OIV Descriptor list of grapevine varieties and Vitis species”.
