Szymajda M., Napiórkowska B., Korbin M., Żurawicz E. (2015): Studies on the interspecific crossing compatibility among three Prunus species and their hybrids. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 42: 70-82.In 2011-2013, a study on the crossing compatibility and the setting of fruit in distant hybridization within the genus Prunus, among the species P. armeniaca L. (apricot), P. salicina Lindl. (Japanese plum), P. cerasifera Ehrh. (myrobalan plum) and the hybrids P. salicina × P. cerasifera was conducted at the Institute of Horticulture in Skierniewice, Poland. The percentage of fruit set depended on the direction of pollination of the crossed species. Most fruits were obtained by crossing P. salicina × P. armeniaca and P. salicina × P. cerasifera. The largest number of fruitlets in relation to the number of pollinated flowers was obtained when two genotypes of P. salicina -Czernuszka and D 17-73, were the maternal parents. The results show that the crossing compatibility and effectiveness in the cross-breeding of the studied species of Prunus are influenced to a greater extent by the genotype of the maternal form of P. salicina than by the genotype of the paternal form of P. armeniaca and P. cerasifera.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
