    Keywords : Vitis vinifera; sucrose; glucose; fructose; raffinose; stachyose; cold hardiness; HPLC; buds; grapevines;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was; to compare sugar content and composition in buds of four inSweden commercially grown grapevine cultivars (‘Kerner’, ‘Regent’, ‘Rondo’ and ‘Solaris’),at three different vineyards in Scania and try to investigate the relationship between sugarcontent and cold hardiness. The concentration of fructose, glucose, sucrose, raffinose andstachyose was determined in the lower positioned buds, 2-8 and upper positioned buds, 9-14of the grapevine shoots with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
