( 2003 ). molecular markers were obtained by analyzing dna specimens at the 9 microsatellite loci specified by the european projects named gen - res81 and grape - gen06 for vine variety characterisation and at locus vmc1b11 ( vitis microsatellite consortium ). in particular , the primers and amplification conditions described by thomas and scott ( 1993 ) for locus vvs2 , bowers et al . ( 1996 ) for loci vvmd5 and vvmd7 , bowers et al . ( 1999 ) for loci vvmd25 , vvmd27 , vvmd28 and vvmd32 and sefc et al .

this invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety named “ iasma eco 3 ” which is characterized by producing white berries which mature 1 week earlier than the parents , and is much less sensitive to botrytis cinerea compared to the parents . the present variety berries exhibit a loose bunch and have the presence of both geraniol and linalool .
