Table 2 Number of seeds that were recovered from open-pollinated Corinto Nero berries in 2016 and in vitro germinated to generate plantlets for ploidy level analysis and genotyping. Seedlings were obtained from 50 non-floating Sangiovese seeds with the only objective to calculate their germination rate

From: Somatic variants for seed and fruit set in grapevine
