Naturverjüngung bei der Wildrebe (Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris) – Nachweis von der Rheininsel bei Ketsch, Deutschland

Abstract

population at the genetic level. On Ketsch island various investigations and experiments are being carried out to characterize the environmental conditions necessary for the germination and establishment of wild grape (W ERLING et al. 2019, unpublished). In co-operation with the forestry administration a management concept is currently being developed to provide regeneration sites for wild grapes in Ketsch. This is a glimmer of hope for the critically endangered wild ancestor of the cultivated grapevine.
