Initial and final fruit set in some plum (Prunus domestica L.) hybrids under different pollination types
2012
The paper presents results of two-year study (2009-2010) of initial and final
fruit set in promising plum (Prunus domestica L.) hybrids developed at Fruit
Research Institute - Cacak, under different pollination conditions. The
following hybrids were studied: 38/62/70 (‘Hall’ x ‘California Blue’),
32/21/87 (‘Stanley’ x ‘Scoldus’), IV/63/81 (‘Large Sugar Prune’ x ‘Scoldus’),
22/17/87 (‘Cacanska Najbolja’ x ‘Zh'lta Butilcovidna’), 29/29/87 (‘Stanley’ x
‘Scoldus’) and 34/41/87 (‘Valjevka’ x ‘Cacanska Lepotica’). Each of the
hybrids was studied both under self- pollination and open pollination. In
vitro pollen germination was also performed as well as characteristics of
flowering phenophase and flowering abundance. Generally, the results suggest
lower flowering abundance in the second year of the study. Pollen germination
ranged from averagely 25.31% (29/29/87) to 40.01% (38/62/70). With averagely
31.59% final fruit set under self-pollination and 29.38% under open
pollination variants, respectively, hybrid 34/41/87 gave the best results.
The lowest performance was observed in hybrid 32/21/87 with 1.61% and 7.69%
final fruit set under self- and open pollination variants, respectively.
