136 Agricultural and Natural Research & Reviews1. IntroductionViticulture in Türkiye is a highly productive cultural plant that canmaintain its economic production level in ecologically very differentregions. From this perspective, Türkiye is among the regions with themost favorable climate for viticulture and is known as the gene center of thegrapevine, and therefore it has an old and deep-rooted viticulture culture. Thecontribution of grapes to national income in the country’s economy is high,and it is evaluated in different ways according to the characteristics of berry orcultivars. It is a berry useful for our nutrition and health, as it contains vitaminsA, B, C, nitrogenous substances, glucose, iron, calcium, potassium, and sodiumin its structure (Çelik et al., 1998). Another important feature of viticulture isthat it enables the use of barren and inclined areas that are not suitable for thecultivation of other agricultural products. Indeed, grapevine can usually begrown in the whole of Türkiye, except for the high parts of the Central andEastern Anatolia Region and the coastline of the Black Sea Region (Doganay1995). The most grape growing area and production regions in Türkiye arethe Aegean, Mediterranean, Mid-South, Southeast, Northeast, and Black Searegions, respectively. In fact, the Northeast Anatolian agricultural region, inwhich Erzincan is within located, is relatively far from the features that canrespond to the ecological demands of the garapevine. However, the availabilityof natural environmental conditions in and around the Erzincan plain plays a keyrole in the execution of viticulture and fruit growing activities.The Eastern Anatolia Region, where the continental climate is dominant,has microclimate characteristics, and Erzincan is the most important provincein terms of economic viticulture potential in the Northeast Agricultural Region(Karadoğan & Keskin 2017; Kaya & Kose 2020). In this province, viticultureis carried out on an area of approximately 9000 decares and the productionamount is 6000 tons/year for many years (Kaya & Köse 2017). the only standardcultivar of the North-East Agricultural Region, ‘Karaerik’ (Vitis vinifera L.)(syn. Cimin) grape cultivar (Figure 1) plays a key role in Erzincan viticultureand it is grown in 90-95% of the vineyards in the province. It has been widelygrown as table grapes in the town of Üzümlü and its surroundings/towns(Bayırbağ, Göller, Pişkidağ, Karakaya, Çadırtepe) of the city of Erzincan foryears and has a high market value (Güneş et al., 2015; Köse et al., 2018). Thetaste of berries of this grape cultivar lies on a fine point between mildly sweetand sour with a specific aroma not found in other V. vinifera grape cultivars(Kalkan et al., 2012). Although it is generally used as a table grape it canalso be preferred in the form of dried pulp, vinegar, and molasses (Hermosín-
