Abstract
In Japan, seven species and eight varieties of wild grapes were identified, among which the main species are Vitis coignetiae Pulliat, V. flexuosa Thunb., and V. ficifolia Bunge var. lobata (Regel) Nakai (syn. V. thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc.). This paper summarizes the identification and classification of wild grapes native to Japan based on the past reports. Their distributions in Japan and physiological and ecological traits are also reviewed for effective practical use for grape breeding in the future.
