The recombination among divergent parents may result in favorable genic combinations<br />

allowing a better use of the additive, epistatic <strong>and</strong> pleiotropic effects, giving room for important<br />

characteristics such as productivity, quality <strong>and</strong> resistance to certain pathogens. Germplasm bank<br />

characterization as well as adequate statistical methods allow the identification of divergent<br />

parents. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the genetic divergence among 56 accessions of<br />

grapevine in the Germplasm Collection at Instituto Agronômico - IAC, characterized by eight<br />

quantitative traits. Multivariate analyses were used to quantify the divergence among the<br />

accessions. Euclidian distance, principal components <strong>and</strong> Tocher’s clustering method were<br />

applied. The Tocher’s method applied to the matrix of Euclidian distance <strong>with</strong> scores of principal<br />

components discriminated seven similar groups, <strong>with</strong> the first two comprised 69.64% <strong>and</strong><br />

17.86% respectively of total access. About 86.94% of the total variation was explained by the<br />

three first main components obtained <strong>with</strong> eight components analysis <strong>and</strong> 77.27% was explained<br />

by the first two main components. Thus, the multivariate analysis to study genetic diversity<br />

applied to the quantitative characters (Tocher’s clustering method <strong>and</strong> principal components)<br />

agreed among themselves, being efficient for analysis of the genetic diversity of germplasm of<br />

grapevine at IAC, which can be used for guidance in future crosses for breeding of this species.<br />

However, additional characteristics related to productivity, cycle <strong>and</strong> quality of most will be<br />

realized <strong>and</strong> added to these works of diversity.<br />
