A new grapevine variety distinguished by its leaf blistering, length of teeth, blade size, bunch length, area of anthocyanin coloration of main veins on upper side of blade of mature leaf, goffering of blade of mature leaf, resistance to downy and powdery mildew and winterhardiness.

Grapevine plant named 'TRASEMIS'

A new grape variety distinguished by its high vigour with a semi-erect growth habit, low-medium blistering of the upper side of the leaf blade, circular shaped leaves, fruit clusters of medium or medium-large bunch density with 3-4 wings, medium harvesting time (early September in northeastern Italy), and resistance to downy mildew.

Grapevine plant named 'VOLTURNIS'

A new female kiwi plant named 'AC 497 076', distinguished by its oblong fruit with brown hairless skin and dark yellow flesh. The fruit is very sweet with low acidity, and matures relatively early.

A new female kiwi plant named 'AC 501 022', distinguished by its oblong fruit with dark brown hairless skin and yellow flesh. The fruit is very sweet with low acidity, and matures relatively early.

Kiwi plant named 'AC 501 022'

A new grape variety distinguished by its high vigour, circular shaped leaves, medium weight fruit clusters, early-medium harvesting time (end of August in northeastern Italy), green dorsal and ventral internodes, and resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew.

Grapevine plant named 'KERSUS'

A new grape variety distinguished by its resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew, strong blistering on the upper side of the leaf blade, early-medium harvesting time (end of August in northeastern Italy), and semi-erect shoot attitude.

Grapevine plant named 'PINOT ISKRA'

A new grape variety distinguished by its strong blistering of the upper side of the leaf blade, cuneiform shaped leaves, fruit cluster of medium bunch density with 3-4 wings, medium harvesting time (early September in northeastern Italy), and resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew.

Grapevine plant named 'PINOT KORS'

A new and distinct variety of grapevine, primarily suited to the growing conditions of the temperate regions, and characterized by its medium-strong vigor; horizontal growth habit; medium-sized, wedge-shaped to circular-shaped leaves; very low to low weight berry clusters; berries with slightly firm flesh, neutral taste, and no flesh coloration; primarily used for wine; and resistance to winter temperatures (to &#x2212;24&#xb0; C.), resistance to downy mildew, and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Grapevine named 'SOR&#xc9;LI'

A new and distinct variety of grapevine named 'CABERNET VOLOS', primarily suited to the growing conditions of the temperate regions, and characterized by its medium vigor; semi-erect growth habit; medium, pentagonal to circular shaped leaves; short-medium, dense, cylindrical berry clusters; dark blue berries with soft to slightly firm berry flesh, herbaceous taste, and no flesh coloration; and resistance to winter temperatures (to &#x2212;24&#xb0; C.), resistance to downy mildew, and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Grapevine named 'CABERNET VOLOS'

A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named 'FLEURTAI', primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the temperate regions and characterized by its strong vigor; erect growth habit; small to medium circular shaped leaves with medium texture; medium sized berry clusters with golden-green berries that have an amber nuance on the sunny side of the berry, soft flesh, neutral taste, and no flesh coloration primarily used for wine; early harvesting time; and resistance to winter temperatures (to &#x2212;23&#xb0; C.), resistance to downy mildew, and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Grapevine named 'FLEURTAI'

A new and distinct variety of grapevine named 'MERLOT KANTHUS', primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the temperate regions, and characterized by its medium vigor; erect growth habit; medium sized, circular shaped leaves; small, conical, medium dense berry clusters with two middle size wings; blue-black berries with slightly firm flesh, none to herbaceous taste and none to very weak flesh coloration; primary use for wine; and resistance to winter temperatures (to &#x2212;22&#xb0; C.), resistance to downy mildew, and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Grapevine named 'MERLOT KANTHUS'

A new and distinct variety of grapevine named 'SAUVIGNON RYTOS', primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the temperate regions, and characterized by its medium vigor; semi-erect growth habit; wedge-shaped leaves with medium texture; small cylindrical shaped green-yellow berry clusters with a golden nuance on the sunny side of the berries; early maturing, soft berry flesh with no coloration and neutral taste primarily for winemaking; and resistance to winter temperatures (to &#x2212;23&#xb0; C.), resistance to downy mildew and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Grapevine named 'SAUVIGNON RYTOS'

A new and distinct variety of grapevine named 'SAUVIGNON KRETOS', primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the temperate regions, and characterized by its strong vigor; erect growth habit; wedge-shaped leaves with medium texture; medium weight and conical shaped berry clusters; early maturing, firm berry flesh with no coloration and neutral taste primarily for winemaking; early harvesting time; and resistance to winter temperatures (to &#x2212;22&#xb0; C.), resistance to downy mildew and tolerance to powdery mildew.

Grapevine named 'SAUVIGNON KRETOS'

A new and distinctcultivar named AC1536 is disclosed, characterized by distinctive large, oblong fruit, and an earlier time of maturity for harvesting.

Planchon plant named 'AC1536'

A new female tetraploid kiwifruit plant,named 'Soreli'. The new variety results from a controlled cross made using tetraploid'A137' as seed-parent and'A134.41' as pollen donor. &#x2018;Soreli&#x2019; bears single flowers; the fruit is large (118 g on average), oblong, circular in cross section with a reddish brown skin and a brilliant yellow flesh; core is small. Fruit taste sweet, acidity is low. Fruit are harvested earlier than both &#x2018;Jintao&#x2019; and &#x2018;Hayward&#x2019;. Bud break occurs 6 and 8 days before &#x2018;Jintao&#x2019; and &#x2018;Hayward&#x2019; respectively and flowering time occurs 2 and 9 days before &#x2018;Jintao&#x2019; and &#x2018;Hayward&#x2019; respectively in Udine (46&#xb0; 02' N, 13&#xb0; 13&#x2032; E; 88 m asl) where the comparative observations were carried out. Fruit has medium storage life (up to 3-4 months).
