Genetic divergence of Oblacinska sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) clones

Abstract

Based on examination of 10 important pomologic and technologic properties, genetic divergence of 10 selected Oblacinska sour cherry clones was established. The genetic divergence between the analyzed clones was determined using the hierarchical cluster analysis. The UPGA method was used and the Euclidean distance in order to determine the difference between the groups. Four similar clone groups were obtained on the dendrogram. The objective of clone differentiation was primarily yield, although other properties were taken into account as well. As the most yielded clones for the production, that can be recommended, were clone D8 or clone D4 that are genetically very similar, and clone D3.

In vitro sterilization procedures for micropropagation of ‘oblacinska’ sour cherry

“…'Oblačinska' sour cherry represents a mixture of a great number of clones (genotypes) so problems with its Ines Mihaljević et al 118 reproduction and exploitation occur. Because of these reasons, considering breeding methods, special attention should be devoted to the clonal selection (Nikolić et al, 2005).…”

Distinguishing Oblacinska sour cherry clones (Prunus cerasus L.) by pollen morphology

“…All this conditioned that Oblaĉinska sour cherry today represents a heterogeneous sour cherry population, i.e. a mixture of a large number of clones -genotypes (NIKOLIĆ et al, 2005;RAKONJAC et al, 2010;FOTIRIĆ AKŠIĆ et al, 2014).…”

Characterization of Sugar and Polyphenolic Diversity in Floral Nectar of Different ‘Oblačinska’ Sour Cherry Clones

“…The first selection from a diverse gene pool was conducted by local farmers in order to obtain certain desirable traits . According to several authors, who studied ‘Oblačinska’ sour cherry populations, the highest variability among genotypes was mainly found in pomological and technological traits, including fruits and yield …”

“…[4] According to several authors, who studied 'Obla cinska' sour cherry populations, the highest variability among genotypes was mainly found in pomological and technological traits, including fruits and yield. [5] [6] In order to obtain satisfying quantity and quality of sour cherry fruits, besides the application of necessary agrotechnical measures, prerequisite is that the flower must be pollinated. Sour cherry is entomophilous fruit species, so it is pollinated by insects.…”
