-Drought is a limiting factor in fruit production today. Identification of sour cherry genotypes tolerant to drought will enable the sustainability of fruit production. The aim of our study was to select sour cherry genotypes according to their genetic background as well as drought tolerance and investigate possible mechanisms of drought tolerance through the changes in photosynthetic apparatus (i.e. photosynthetic pigment content) and photosynthesis process assessed through the chlorophyll fluorescence transient. All of them together with molecular markers (SSRs and AFLPs), relative water content (RWC) as indicator of plant water status distinguish two genotypes (Kelleris 16 and OS), which are the opposite in regards to drought tolerance. Down-regulation of photosynthesis in drought-treated Kelleris 16 plants was seen as changes in antenna complexes of PSII (decreased total chlorophylls content (a+b) and chlorophylls ratio (a/b)). Despite unchanged maximum quantum yield of PSII in drought-treated leaves of genotype OS, overall photosynthetic performance expressed as PI ABS was down-regulated in both investigated genotypes. However, decrement of PI ABS was much pronounced in genotype Kelleris 16, mainly because of changes in a certain fraction of RCs, which become dissipative centres, seen as increase in ABS/RC and DI 0 /RC, in order to avoid photooxidative damage of photosynthetic apparatus. Also, electron transport, seen as decrease in ET 0 /(TR 0 -ET 0 ) and ET 0 /RC, was impaired which lead to impaired CO 2 fixation and photosynthesis. The described changes in the functioning of photosynthetic apparatus in drought-treated plants of Kelleris 16 constitute the main distinction between the two investigated genotypes regarding drought adaptation mechanisms.

Thirty-one traditional cultivars [26 sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), four duke cherry (Prunus × gondouinii Rehd.), and one sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.)] from Sierra de Francia and Arribes del Duero in Central-Western Spain were surveyed and characterized agromorphologically. A total of 37 descriptors, mainly def ined by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute and the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants were used to describe flowers, leaves, fruits and the tree itself over a 3 consecutive years. This made possible the unequivocal identification of 25 cultivars. A dendrogram gave a clear separation between the sour, duke and sweet cherry cultivars and showed existing synonymies and homonymies. This work is an important step in the conservation of genetic cherry resources in the province of Salamanca (Spain), which show distinctive and interesting agronomical characters such as low susceptibility to fruit cracking, high levels of soluble solids, early fruit maturity and great rusticity.Additional key words: cherry descriptors, conservation, endangered cultivars, fruit parameters, genetic resources, homonymies, synonymies. ResumenCaracterización agromorfológica de cultivares tradicionales españoles de Prunus avium L., Prunus cerasus L. y Prunus × × gondouinii Rehd.Veintiséis cultivares de cerezo (Prunus avium L.), un cultivar de guindo (Prunus cerasus L.) y cuatro cultivares del híbrido de ambos (Prunus × gondouinii Rehd.), originarios de las zonas de Sierra de Francia y de Arribes del Duero, en el centro-oeste español, han sido prospectados y caracterizados desde el punto de vista agromorfológico. Un total de 37 descriptores, la mayoría definidos por el International Plant Genetic Resources Institute y por la International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants fueron usados para describir flores, hojas, frutos y el árbol durante un periodo consecutivo de tres años, permitiendo la inequívoca identificación de 25 cultivares. El dendrograma de relación entre cultivares elaborado permite diferenciar claramente los cultivares de cerezo, guindo e híbrido estudiados y muestra la existencia de sinonimias y homonimias. El trabajo realizado constituye un paso importante para la conservación de estos recursos genéticos presentes en la provincia de Salamanca (España) que muestran caracteres agronómicos interesantes y distintivos tales como baja susceptibilidad al rajado, altos niveles de sólidos solubles, maduración temprana y gran rusticidad.Palabras clave adicionales: conservación, cultivares en peligro, descriptores de cerezo, homonimias, parámetros de fruto, recursos genéticos, sinonimias.

“…Several morphological characterization studies have been carried on the Cerasus species and important results have been obtained, such as on sweet cherry (Christensen 1970), ground cherry , sour cherry (Krahl et al 1991;Rodrigues et al 2008;Rakonjac et al 2010), duke cherry (Tavaud et al 2004), mahaleb (Ganji Moghadam and Khalighi 2007) and some Cerasus genotypes (Shahi-Gharahlar et al 2010).…”

Knowledge of relationships among the cultivated and wild species of Cerasus, a subgenus of Prunus L., is important for recognizing gene pools, identifying pitfalls in germplasm collections and developing effective conservation and management strategies. In this study, morphological characterization of wild Cerasus subgenus species naturally growing in Iran, including P. avium L. (mazzard), P. mahaleb L., P. brachypetala Boiss., P. incana Pall., P. yazdiana Mozaff., P. microcarpa Boiss. subsp. microcarpa, P. microcarpa Boiss. subsp. diffusa and P. pseudoprostrata Pojark. and three commercial species, sweet cherry (P. avium L.), sour cherry (P. cerasus L.) and duke cherry (P. 9 gondouinii Rehd.) was investigated. Twenty-nine variables were recorded in 95 accessions of these species to detect similarities among them. All studied characteristics were showing a high degree of variability, but it was highly pronounced for plant height, leaf characters especially for dimensions and pubescence as well as for petiole and peduncle length. The majority of significant correlation coefficients were found in the characteristics representing plant size and growth habit with leaf size. Principal component analysis was performed for phenotypical diversity determination and grouping of species. Characters with high discriminating values were those related to growth habit, height, compactness, trunk diameter, leaf dimensions, petiole length, leaf tip and serration, flower color, peduncle length, fruit shape and stone shape. Based on the cluster analysis, species included in two main clusters, first those with large structure (sweet, sour and duke cherries, mazzard and mahaleb), second the other species with small structure which might be potentially suitable for rootstock breeding programs. Scatter plot using two first factors also confirmed the grouping by cluster analysis. The conservation of the highly diverse native populations of Iranian wild Cerasus species is recommended.
