    Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky

    Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky Information from Literature Much has been published about pollination, pollinators, pollinizers, fertilization and fruit set in text books and periodicals. The definitions are not difficult. Pollination is the movement of pollen among compatible flowering plants (cross-pollination) or from anthers to stigmas on the same plant or different plants of the same clone (self-pollination). Many plants will self-pollinate but set very few fruit; some authors consider them self- pollinating but they are definitely not self-fruitful. Self-fruitful plants (and clones) set a crop of fruit after self-pollination; some of these plants bear fruit with no seeds (parthenocarpy); others develop seeds with embryos that are genetically identical to the parent plant (apomixis); and others produce haploid seeds that develop from an unfertilized egg cell. (When haploid seeds germinate they are very weak seedlings with only half the chromosomes of normal seedlings.) Regarding temperate zone tree fruits, self-pollination and fruit set does not mean self-fertility and the development of normal seeds. Many temperate zone small fruit species (e.g. strawberries and raspberries) are self-fertile and develop maximum yields of fruit with normal seeds as the result of self-pollination by insects. Pollinators, usually insects, are vectors of pollen movement. Pollinizers are plants which provide the appropriate pollen for other plants. Fertilization is the process in which gametes from the pollen unite with egg cells in the ovary of the flower. Normal seeds are usually the result of this process. Also, the principles are easily understood. Poor fertilization in plums and other Prunus species results in a poor fruit set.

Hrotkó, L.Magyar, M. Gyeviki Corvinus University of Budapest, Department of Fruit Science, Hungary Abstract : Searching for growth reducing cherry rootstocks, researchers have produced and tested numerous hybrids of Prunus fruticosa Pall . Some of them have proved to be promising as dwarfing rootstocks in cherry growing. The native flora of Hungary is rich in native hybrids of Prunus fruticosa Pall. identified and described under different names, but this rich genetic diversity has never been evaluated and used as cherry rootstocks. A total of 25 native hybrids were identified in different locations of Hungary, clonally propagated and planted in the repository of our research station. Based on their phenotype characteristics they were identified as Prunus x mohácsyana Kárp., P. eminens , Prunus x jávorkae Kárp. (supposedly P. fruticosa x P. mahaleb ) and Prunus fruticosa f. aucta Borb. Using the clones of the above mentioned hybrids as interstems, cherry trees of cultivar Sunburst were raised for field testing and planted into an orchard trial in spring 2000. The root of the trees was Prunus mahaleb . As control, Sunburst trees with Gisela 5 interstems were also planted. Growth of trees (trunk girth, canopy size), yield and fruit size were measured every year. Health status and incompatibility symptoms on trees and survival rate were also evaluated. Based on their growth, productivity and compatibility characteristics, three clones of P. eminens (3H, FV1 and KV2) and four clones of P.

Phenotypic and genotypic data are essential for linking genetic variation with biological function, thus documenting gene function. However, phenotypic data gathering is not keeping pace with the immensely increasing amount of available genomic information, brought forth by current High Throughput technologies. Standardized phenotyping protocols for peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] have been developed for 6 productivity traits (on the tree) and 16 fruit quality traits. Documentation of fruit quality phenotypes has been performed applying developed standardized phenotyping protocol in two seasons, at nine locations, on 513 peach and almond accessions, cultivars, advanced selections, lines, and or populations.
