The ‘Kyoho’ grape is a European-American hybrid cultivar <strong>with</strong> strong disease resistance <strong>and</strong><br />
wide adaptability. Fortunately, we found an excellent bud mutation of ‘Kyoho’ from orchard by<br />
selection. The bud mutation matured seven days earlier than ‘Kyoho’ in phenology for five<br />
consecutive years. The berry weight averaged 12-15 g. The berry size <strong>and</strong> the content of soluble<br />
sugar, pulp firmness, bearing pull force were also improved compared to those of ‘Kyoho’.<br />
Using the bud mutation as scion, the appropriate rootstocks were determined from those widely<br />
used in the south of China. To evaluate the genetic relationship between the bud mutation <strong>and</strong> its<br />
maternal parent ‘Kyoho’, 42 grapevine simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to<br />
amplify DNA of ‘Kyoho’ <strong>and</strong> its bud mutation. These microsatellites are highly polymorphic <strong>and</strong><br />
have been considered suitable for assessing variation among grapevine collections. The results<br />
showed the genetic similarity from these SSR markers is 97.6% <strong>and</strong> a pair of SSR primers<br />
VrZAG67 can be used to distinguish bud mutation from ‘Kyoho’.<br />
