    CORVINUS UNIVERSITY OF BUDAPEST FACULTY OF HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE MODERN HORTICULTURE EVALUATION OF FRUIT CULTIVARS Authors: Zsuzsanna Békefi (Chapter 3, 10) Géza Bujdosó (Chapter 9) Szilvia Kovács (Chapter 4, 7, 8) László Szalay (Chapter 5, 6) Magdolna Tóth (Chapter 1, 2) 1. Apple breeding trends and aims in the world. Successful and promising new cultivars Author: Magdolna Tóth 1.1. A brief history of apple cultivation and breeding Apple is one of the oldest fruit species. Apple residues were found e.g. at Jericho, in the Jordan valley and in Anatolia.Their origin is estimated to around 6500 BC, but it is impossible to identify from where these fruits got there.The most likely hypothesis is that the firts place of involving apple into cultivation was the territory between Caspian Sea and Black Sea, and apple was grown in this area already around 3000 BC. Actually, the discovery of grafting determined the further history of domestic apple. It gave not only the possibility for growers to reproduce a good quality tree, but it allowed the survival of the best ancient varieties as well. It is almost sure, that domestic apple arrived in Europe by Roman intermediation. In the 3rd century, the Romans established the first plantations in the territory of the present France, Spain and Great-Britain. In later centuries, some emperors (e.g. Charles the Great) and mostly religous orders had a great role in the preservation and renewal of apple cultivation. The widespread distribution of apple cultivation began in the 12th century. The first named cultivars appeared at this time, and according to the propagation possibilities of the age, the seeds of these varieties reached all places of the expanding world.

  • Plum Breeding Worldwide
    Plum Breeding Worldwide W.R. Okie1 and D.W. Ramming2 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Prunus domestica, Prunus salicina SUMMARY. The status of plum breeding around the world is reviewed. Two distinct types of plums are grown: Japanese-type shipping plums (mostly diploid hybrids of Prunus salicina Lindl. with other species) such as are grown in California, and hexaploid or “domestica” plums (P. domestica L.), which have a long history in Europe. In recent years there has been a resurgence of plum breeding outside the United States. lums are native across much of the temperate area of the world. In most areas early inhabitants long ago selected superior indi- Pviduals of their local species. As Prunus breeders have made progress in improving plum quality and productivity, this native germplasm has been replaced by hybrid clones more suited to modern agriculture. Most plums in commercial production today are classified as Japanese (diploid) or European (mostly hexaploid) types. Japanese plums The ancestors of what we call Japanese plums actually originated in China. The term Japanese plum originally was applied to Prunus salicina (formerly P. triflora Roxb.) but now includes all the fresh- market plums developed by intercrossing various diploid species with the original species. These plums were initially improved in Japan and later, to a much greater extent, in the United States. Production in the United States is concentrated in California. Historical background Fortunately for the breeder, there are vast plum genetic resources although often they are not readily available (Okie and Weinberger, 1996; Ramming and Cociu, 1990). Prunus salicina cultivation goes back several thousand years in China (Yoshida, 1987) but plum has never been as commercially or culturally important in China as peach [P.

  • Segregation of Plum and Pluot Cultivars According to Their Organoleptic Characteristics Carlos H
    Postharvest Biology and Technology 44 (2007) 271–276 Segregation of plum and pluot cultivars according to their organoleptic characteristics Carlos H. Crisosto a,∗, Gayle M. Crisosto a, Gemma Echeverria b, Jaume Puy c a Department of Plant Sciences, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA1 b Centre UdL-IRTA, Rovira Roure, 191, Lleida 25198, Spain c Departament de Qu´ımica, Rovira Roure, 191, Lleida 25198, Spain Received 19 June 2006; accepted 9 December 2006 Abstract Cultivar segregation according to the sensory perception of their organoleptic characteristics was attempted by using trained panel data evaluated by principal component analysis of 12 plum and four pluot cultivars as a part of our program to understand plum minimum quality. The perception of the four sensory attributes (sweetness, sourness, plum flavor intensity, plum aroma intensity) was reduced to three principal components, which accounted for 98.6% of the variation in the sensory attributes of the tested cultivars. Using the Ward separation method and PCA analysis (PC1 = 49.8% and PC2 = 25.6%), plum and pluot cultivars were segregated into groups (tart, plum aroma, and sweet/plum flavor) with similar sensory attributes. Fruit source significantly affected cultivar ripe soluble solids concentration (RSSC) and ripe titratable acidity (RTA), but it did not significantly affect sensory perception of plum flavor intensity, sourness, sweetness, and plum aroma intensity by the trained panel on fruit harvested above their physiological maturity. Based on this information, we recommend that validation of these organoleptic groups should be conducted using “in store” consumer tests prior to development of a minimum quality index within each organoleptic group based on ripe soluble solids concentration (RSSC).
