“…Despite the large availability of newly released cultivars including several dozen other cultivars that have been released elsewhere in the last 30 years [68,96,[115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123], the variety assortment that constitutes the bulk of the plum tree industry in the various main producing countries continues to be dominated by a small number of well-established varieties, with the few exceptions mainly constituted by new interspecific hybrids such as, for example, those of the Metis group [124]. In Spain the market offer is currently dominated by about six to seven cultivars, including 'Angeleno', 'Black Splendor', 'Crimson Glo' and 'Golden Glo'; in Germany by 'Top', 'Hanita' and 'Cacaks Schöne'; in the eastern European countries by 'Stanley', ' Čačanska Lepotica', ' Čačanska Rodna', 'Anna Späth', 'Tuleu Gras', 'Vinete Romanesti', and 'Grase Romanesti'.…”

Plums are a large group of closely related stone fruit species and hybrids of worldwide economic importance and diffusion. This review deals with the main aspects concerning plum agrobiodiversity and its relationship with current and potential contributions offered by breeding in enhancing plum varieties. The most recent breeding achievements are revised according to updated information proceeding from relevant scientific reports and official inventories of plum genetic resources. A special emphasis has been given to the potential sources of genetic traits of interest for breeding programs as well as to the need for efficient and coordinated efforts aimed at efficaciously preserving the rich and underexploited extant plum agrobiodiversity. The specific objective of this review was to: (i) analyze and possibly evaluate the degree of biodiversity existing in the cultivated plum germplasm, (ii) examine the set of traits of prominent agronomic and pomological interest currently targeted by the breeders, and (iii) determine how and to what extent this germplasm was appropriately exploited in breeding programs or could represent concrete prospects for the future.
