Pomological and Phenological Characteristics of Some Autochthonous Slovenian Plum Cultivars

Possibility of Producing One-Year Old Seedlings of the Autochthonous Brandy Varieties Grafting on the Generative Rootstock in the Region of North Montenegro

“…Similar data on the period and duration of flowering of autochthonous plum cultivars were reported by Jarebica and Muratović (1977) and confirmed by the results of this study. Somewhat later flowering under Slovenian conditions was reported by Usenik et al (2007) and early flowering in the Tokat province (Turkey) by Gunes (2003), the reason being environmental, particularly climate effects (Buljko, 1977). In terms of fruit ripening, the results of this study were similar to the ones obtained by Paunović et al, 1985;Paunović, 1988;and Mratinić, 2000.…”

“…Morphological and quantitative characteristics of one-year old seedlings for autochthonous brandy cultivars of plum on Myrobalan seedling (Prunus cerasifera Erhr.). (2010,2011,2012,2013 Similar data for Serbian autochthonous plum cultivars in terms of pomological, physical and sensorial characteristics were reported by Paunović et al,1985;Paunović, 1988;Petrović et al, 2002;and Milošević and Milošević , 2012, and data on local cultivars grown in the former Yugoslavia were given by Jovančević, 1977;Jarebica and Muratović, 1977;Usenik et al, 2007;Jelačić et al, 2008. Stone weight ranged from 0.16 ± 0.003 g (ʽTrnovačaʼ) to 2.20 ± 0.711g (ʽCrvena durguljaʼ), which was in similar with the results obtained by Paunović et al, 1985;Paunović ,1988;Paunović and Paunović ,1994;Mratinić, 2000;and Milošević and Milošević, 2012.…”

“…Nevertheless, they are used as an outstanding source of germplasm and as a genetic basis underlying breeding activities, principally the development of new cultivars, clonal selection (Ogašanović et al, 1994;Milošević, 2000), the development of new plum, apricot and peach rootstocks (Paunović, 1988;Djurić et al, 1998), resistance to economically important diseases (Paunović and Paunović, 1994;Rodrigues et al, 2009) or intensive cultivation (Mratinić, 2000). Similar investigations with focus on identical or similar objectives were also conducted in the other countries of the former Yugoslavia -Serbia (Milošević, 2000), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Buljko, 1977;Jarebica and Muratović, 1977), Croatia (Jelačić et al, 2008) and Slovenia (Usenik et al, 2007). In situ investigations of cultivars derived from Prunus domestica L. and P. insititia L. in Serbia were conducted by a number of researchers (Paunović et al, 1985;Paunović, 1988;Paunović and Paunović, 1994;Petrović et al, 2002) who defined important biological, pomological and technological traits of both fruit and tree.…”

How does sharka affect the phenolics of plum fruit (Prunus domestica L.)?

“…'Domača češplja' (Prunus domestica L.) (Usenik et al 2007) was collected from a plum orchard in Slovenia. Trees were selected according to the expression of sharka symptoms in the orchard.…”

Morphogenic variability of some autochthonous plum cultivars in western Serbia

“…Nevertheless, they are used as an outstanding source of germplasm and as a genetic basis underlying breeding activities, principally the development of new cultivars, clonal selection (Ogasanovic et al, 1994;Milosevic, 2000), the development of new plum, apricot and peach rootstocks (Paunovic, 1988;Djuric et al, 1998), resistance to economically important diseases (Paunovic and Paunovic, 1994;Rodrigues et al, 2009) or intensive cultivation (Mratinic, 2000). Similar investigations focusing on identical or similar objectives were also conducted in the other countries of the former Yugoslavia -Montenegro (Jovancevic, 1977), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Jarebica and Muratović, 1977;Buljko, 1977), Croatia (Jelacic et al, 2008) and Slovenia (Usenik et al, 2007).…”
