Fruit and seed traits of Berberis croatica Horvat and Berberis vulgaris L.

Abstract

-The three year variability of fruits and seeds was investigated inThe fruit shape of both species was similar and the length/width ratio was 1.91-2.04 in B. croatica and 1.77-2.07 in B. vulgaris. The number of seeds per fruit was 1.23-1.58 in B. croatica and 1.36-1.54 in B. vulgaris. Generally, fruits and seeds of B. vulgaris were significantly longer, wider and heavier than fruits and seeds of B. croatica. ANOVA showed significant statistical differences between populations for all analyzed fruit and seed traits while the species significantly differed in all traits, except in the fruit shape and number of seeds in fruit.

Comparison of two wild‐grown Berberis varieties based on biochemical characterization

“…Both fruits are similar in appearance and shape. It was determined that the pomological values obtained here are quite similar to the values reported in the literature (Kremer, Grubesic, Popovic, & Karlovic, 2012).…”

The Dormancy Types and Germination Characteristics of the Seeds of Berberis koreana Palibin, an Endemic Species of Korea

“…Some studies have reported on the inter-and intraspecific variability in the fruit and/or seed traits in the Berberis genus [18][19][20][21][22]. These studies have suggested that the differences between the populations for all the analyzed fruit and seed traits depend on environmental factors and species-related differences.…”
