“…More recently the sweet cherry somaclone HS regenerated from cv Hedelfinger was characterized on the basis of physiological, morphological and molecular parameters related to the light quality modulation of plant growth and development in both vitro and in early ex vitro conditions (Piagnani et al 2002(Piagnani et al , 2005.…”

“…Considering the differences on H and HS chlorophylls content as found previously (Piagnani et al 2002(Piagnani et al , 2005 and the fact that HS leaves looked lighter in colour than H leaves, the two genotypes were also investigated for pigment content. Unexpectedly chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b did not differ between the two genotypes but b-carotene content was slightly lower in HS leaves.…”

“…One-year-old in vivo adapted plants of cv Hedelfinger (H) and somaclone HS (HS), propagated as earlier reported (Piagnani et al 2002(Piagnani et al , 2005, were planted in March 1999 in the 'C.L.I.F.O.F. Foundation' orchard (Minoprio, Italy).…”

“…Most of the somaclonal variations reported in literature for temperate species are for disease resistance while only a few reports refer to growth habit modifications (Jain 2001). The somaclonal variant, named HS, regenerated from Prunus avium 'Hedelfinger' leaf tissue exhibited different pattern of growth and development and reduced the vigour respect to wild type under different light qualities of in vitro and early ex vitro conditions (Piagnani et al 2002(Piagnani et al , 2005. A polymorphism between the somaclone HS and the wild type was detected by ISSR-DNA analyses (Piagnani et al 2002).…”

We reported earlier that somaclonal variant HS (HS), regenerated from Prunus avium 'Hedelfinger' (H) leaf explants, showed reduced apical dominance both in vitro and in vivo. In this report we found that the somaclone HS, showed reduced vegetative vigour as determined by trunk circumference and tree height nevertheless natural architecture of the tree was preserved. HS canopy was less crowded as to compare to H and leaves were shorter with a shorter petiole, they were better spaced out as indicated by internodes length. HS had a significantly thinner cuticle and wax layer compared to H leaves surface. Histological analysis of leaves also showed that HS had thicker mesophyll and palisade the latter composed of more than one layer which, together with increased stomatal density, are distinguishing signs of extensive exposure of leaves to sun. Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b content did not differ between H and HS, b-carotene content was slightly lower in HS leaves. However no significant differences were found between the two genotypes in terms of net photosynthesis, intercellular CO 2 concentration, leaf transpiration and water use efficiency.HS flowered 1-year later than H and number of flowers was reduced. Fruit size, shape, skin colour change during the ripening process and the main parameters of fruit quality as assessed in the wild type and the somaclone were basically the same.

“…Somaclonal variation has provided a new and alternative tool to the breeders for obtaining genetic variability relatively rapidly and without sophisticated technology in horticultural crops, which are either difficult to breed or have narrow genetic base [5]. Somaclonal variant, named HS, regenerated from Prunus avium 'Hedelfingen' leaf tissue, exhibited different pattern of growth and development and reduced vigor respect to wild type under different light qualities of in vitro and early ex vitro conditions [6,7]. The HS, somaclonal fruits quality at early unripe (green) and full ripe (dark red) stages did not show main biochemical differences respect to wild type fruit D DAVID PUBLISHING Vegetative Habitus and Fruit Production of Self-rooted Cherry Cultivar 'Hedelfingen' Wild Type and Somaclonal Grafted on 'Gisela 6' and 'Colt' Rootstock 364 [8].…”

Abstract:The study considers the morphological and physiological behaviour of self-rooted sweet cherry CV (Cultivar) 'Hedelfinger' wild type (H) and somaclonal (HS) grafted on 'Gisela 6' and 'Colt' rootstock. The somaclonal showed reduced vegetative vigour without any variation of the natural tree's architecture. The rootstock 'Gisela 6' caused change in genotype habitus inducing a spreading shape, while 'Colt' increased trunk diameter and height. Fruit quality and size were not affected by genotype nor rootstock. 'Gisela 6', from these preliminary data, had proved the most suitable rootstock for both genotypes since it reduced the tree size and vigor and induced early bearing and the production of a greater number of fruiting spurs.
