Conservation Plant Release Brochure for Catskill Dwarf Sand Cherry
A Conservation Plant Released by the Natural Resources Conservation Service Big Flats Plant Materials Center, Big Flats, New York Conservation Uses ‘Catskill’ Catskill is mainly used in shoreline and streambank stabilization practices and riparian buffer plantings, where Dwarf Sand Cherry low vegetation is preferred. Its growth habit makes it adapted to areas with ice floe problems. Prunus pumila var. depressa L. Due to its prostrate growth, it may become shaded out over time by taller vegetation. The fruits produced by Catskill are valuable for wildlife and is a very attractive plant and is used in ornamental landscaping. Area of Adaptation and Use Catskill grows well on gravelly or sandy soils along streams but has performed well on silt loam and calcareous soils. It will tolerate periodic flooding only for a short period. Its massive root system allows it to tolerate drought conditions. It is found from Ontario, Canada to the New York- Pennsylvania border and is adapted to USDA hardiness zones 3b to 6b. ‘Catskill' dwarf sand cherry planted among rip rap, in New York. ‘Catskill’ dwarf sand cherry (Prunus pumila var. depressa Establishment and Management for Conservation (L.)) was released in 1997, by the USDA Natural Plantings Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Big Flats Plant Establishment: Planting 1-0 nursery bare root stock of Materials Center and the Pennsylvania Game Commission Catskill is the preferred method of establishment. for its prostrate growth habit and immense root system. Planting should be in the spring, prior to June 1st, or in the fall after October 10th. The stock should be dormant at Description the time of planting. -

The usefulness of random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers to study the genetic diversity and relationships among cultivars belonging to Prunus salicina and P. domestica and their wild relatives (P. insititia and P. spinosa) was investigated. A total of 226 of 234 bands were polymorphic (96.58%). The 226 random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers were screened using 15 random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter-simple sequence repeat primers combinations for 54 Tunisian plum accessions. The percentage of polymorphic bands (96.58%), the resolving power of primers values (135.70), and the polymorphic information content demonstrated the efficiency of the primers used in this study. The genetic distances between accessions ranged from 0.18 to 0.79 with a mean of 0.24, suggesting a high level of genetic diversity at the intra- and interspecific levels.

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. -
Investigations of the Plum Pox Virus in Chile in the Past 20 Years
REVIEW Investigations of the Plum pox virus in Chile in the past 20 years Guido Herrera1 Sharka disease, which is caused by Plum pox virus (PPV), is one of the most serious diseases affecting stone fruit trees around the world. Identified in Bulgaria in 1931, it was restricted to the European continent until 1992 when the virus was identified in Chile. It was subsequently verified in the USA, Canada, and Argentina. After 20 years since first detecting PPV in Chile, it seems clear that the disease cannot be eradicated in spite of various measures. Considering the seriousness of this problem for the domestic industry, a series of studies have been conducted to determine the distribution and degree of transmission of the disease, its biological and molecular characterization and epidemiological aspects, etc. The available information has allowed national phytosanitary control agencies to take steps to decrease the effects of the virus. However, there is a lack of data with respect to epidemiological factors for a more accurate understanding of the performance of the virus under Chilean conditions. Key words: Sharka disease, virus, stone fruit. INTRODUCTION more precise diagnosis techniques like Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) (Wetzel et al., 1991; Hadidi and Levy, The first symptoms of Sharka or Pox were observed by 1994), resulting in greater knowledge about the range of farmers in southwest Bulgaria after the First World War hosts and viral strains. As well, biotechnological methods and the first scientist to describe the viral nature of the associated with genetic transformation generated plant disease was Dimitar Atanasov in 1933 (Dzhuvinov et al., varieties with characteristics of immunity to the virus 2007), calling it Sharka disease or Plum pox virus (PPV). -

Wild Plums Cherry Plums Sand Cherries
wild plums cherry plums sand cherries Wild plums, sand cherries, and cherry plums have ripening. Fruit varies from 1 to 1 ½ inch in diameter, the distinct plum characteristics of sour skins, sweet and fruits with soft, sweet flesh tend to be larger. flesh that sticks tightly to the pit, and pits that are flatter than they are round. Plants vary from shrubs to small trees. Wild plums (Prunus americana) are native to much of the U.S. North America is host to a variety of distinct plum species, but the only species widely planted in Minnesota is P. americana. Wild plums are typically large shrubs or small trees that sucker profusely, often sending out root suckers that sprout 20 or more feet from the mother plant. The fruit flesh is yellow, while the skin color varies from yellow to red, with the most common color being a red blush. Like most wild plants that are propagated from seeds, fruit quality varies tremendously. The best quality fruit has thick, sour skins, with sweet flesh that clings tightly to the pit. Some trees produce fruit with the texture of a golf ball that does not soften during Figure 41. Edible wild plums perennial fruit for northern climates 83 Sand cherries are small, native shrubs which Cherry plum is kind of a catch-all term for a number produce a small fruit that is closer to plums than of small fruited plums that belong to several related cherries. In some literature, all sand cherries are put species. Most produce red or purple fruit. -
