Abstract
The degree of viticulture contribution in ensuring the food security
and safety is considerably determined by the potential of genetic diversity of
assortment. In the paper is presented the evolution of grapevine assortment in
Republic of Moldova in terms of ecological-geographic origin of varieties, some
agrobiologic characteristics. To ensure the branch sustainability in conditions
of northern extremity of industrial viticulture, the concept of genetic
improvement of assortment is oriented at creation of varieties, inclusive
seedless with multiple biological resistance. In conditions of climatic and socio-
economic challenges, in order to ensuring food security, we note as necessary
the development and implementation of programs for exploration, conservation
and evaluation of genetic resources diversity - a basis for increasing the
competitiveness and resistance of varieties. Through the intelligent correlation
of classical breeding methods with the molecular biology, but also on new
methodological and instrumental basis under development, we see an
opportunity of grapevine genome fructification
