“…Visual field analysis showed that bees only visited flowers in the anthesis stage in case of Forastero cultivar. This cultivar is male-sterile [11]. This behaviour was related to those which have been observed in the Prunus armeniaca and the Prunus.…”

“…In a previous paper,Radice et al (2008) described that visual exploratory analysis in fields with flowers of Prunus armeniaca (L.) Giada and the Prunus salicina Lindl showing that the Prunus armeniaca (L.) Giada was frequently visited by bees, not occuring the same for the other mentioned cultivar. On the otherhand the analysis of volatile compounds in both cultivars showed that therpenes were present in the Prunus armeniaca (L) and benzaldehyde compounds were present in the Prunus salicina Lindl.…”

Bees use signals from plants to identify worthwhile visits. They learn quickly to differenciate mainly their floral odor than their colour. In some species the flowers remain open, intact and turgid until they are pollinated (anthesis) after which they are no longer attractive to pollinators (post-anthesis). Pollinators use fragrance for distance orientation, approach, landing, feeding and associative learning. The aim of this work was to study the variation of odor profile between anthesis and post-anthesis produced in flowers of different cultivars of Prunus Persica (L.) batsch, using an electronic nose since odor is a communication between flowering plants and bees. Visual results on field showed that peach flowers are generally more visited in the anthesis stage. Among all the analysed cultivars, Forastero cultivar was the only one visited in this floral stage. Statistical analysis of the electronic nose data showed that doped semiconductuvtive SnO 2 sensors could differenciate between stages (anthesis and post-anthesis) only in case of Forastero cultivar.

“…Self-incompatibility is predominant among cultivars and the blooming period is shorter amongst all stone fruits [72] and generally shorter than that of the European plum [60]. Japanese plum trees could have more than 100,000 flowers at full bloom, but insect attraction is poor [73], and the fruit set is generally very limited (5-14%), lower than other Prunus species [38]. Japanese plums are distinguished from the European ones for their attractive appearance and greater size (from 60-80 up to 150-160 g), the spherical-globose shape, the very pruinose skin, the colors very bright, usually monochromatic (light yellow, yellow amber, green-yellow or green-gray, pink-red, pink-purple, dark purple, blue, blue-violet) or mixed.…”

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.

“…U našem istraživanju takvi uslovi su zabeleženi naročito u 2013. godini, kada je i zametanje plodova bilo najmanje. Pored toga, utvrđeno je da je atraktivnost cvetova japanske šljive za pčele i genetički uslovljena i da zavisi od količine polena, boje antera, produkcije nektara i mirisa (Radice et al, 2010).…”

Growth and productivity characteristics including: initial and final fruit set, yield per tree, trunk cross-sectional area, yield efficiency and fruit weight were studied in ten cultivars of Japanese plums in the Belgrade area for the period of three years (2013-2015). Initial fruit set ranged from 5.6 to 44.4%, and the final fruit set from 2.6 to 23.36%. The high yield per tree (over 10 kg) was obtained in cultivars ?Obilnaja? and ?Morettini 355?, whereas the low yield (under 5 kg) was obtained in cultivars ?Strival?, ?Black Amber?, ?Early Angeleno? and ?Autumn Giant?. The lowest vigor was observed in the cultivar ?Golden Plum?, and the highest in the cultivar ?Strival?. The majority of cultivars had a very large fruit (over 50 g). The yield was strongly positively correlated with initial and final fruit set (r = 0.84**; r = 0.92**, respectively). Fruit weight was moderately negatively correlated with initial and final fruit set (r = -0.67*; r = -0.63*, respectively).
