“…The order of the cultivars considering the occurrence of the phenological stages was very similar in each year for each phenological stage (Friedman's test: X 2 (2)<0.4; ticularly the flower buds, have slow winter development, while the end of endodormancy is late and frost tolerance is maintained for a long period (Szalay, 2001(Szalay, , 2008. Apricot cultivars with short endodormancy and rapid flower bud development can be successfully cultivated in more southern countries in the Mediterranean region (Guerriero et al, 1988). From the point of view of yield reliability, cultivars with long endodormancy, bred under ecological conditions similar to those in Hungary, could be promising for widening the choice of cultivars.…”

Like all phenological processes, microsporogenesis is mainly determined genetically, but its phenotypical expression is greatly influenced by environmental factors, particularly the temperature. During the 3-year experimental period, the process of microsporogenesis was examined in eight apricot cultivars originated in North America and in Romania. The Hungarian cultivar ‘Gönci magyar kajszi’ was used as the control. Based on the results it was possible to rank the cultivars in terms of their microsporogenesis schedule. The same order was found in all three years. This order also indicates the yield reliability of the cultivars. Endodormancy ended between January 10th and 25th in the buds of the earliest cultivar ‘Pinkcot’, but not until February 5-10th in the latest cultivar ‘Harlayne’. Three of the cultivars had faster flower bud development than the control, in the order ‘Pinkcot’, ‘Orange Red’ and ‘Harcot’. Growing these cultivars thus involves greater risk than for ‘Gönci magyar kajszi’ in Hungary, due to their rapid winter flower bud development. Some cultivars found to have slower flower bud development than ‘Gönci magyar kajszi’; ‘Litoral’, ‘Harogem’, ‘Comandor’, ‘Sirena’ and ‘Harlayne’ – thus these cultivars can be grown more reliably.
