A total of 19 different anthocyanins have been detected in four elderberry species and eight hybrids quantified with the use HPLC–MSn. The profile content levels varied considerably among analyzed hybrids. Cyanidin-3-O-sambubioside cyanidin-3-O-glucoside were most abundant Sambucus nigra fruits. On other hand, prevalent anthocyanin S. javanica was identified as cyanidin-3-(E)-p-coumaroyl-sambubioside-5-glucoside. highest (TAA) determined berries interspecific hybrid × racemosa, followed by...
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate a detailed composition and content phenolic compounds in fruits 4 elderberry species ( Sambucus nigra , S. cerulea ebulus S racemosa ) 8 interspecific hybrids. Hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) represented the major share phenolics analyzed elderberries; caffeoylquinic p ‐coumaroylquinic were most abundant. Flavanols (catechin, epicatechin, different procyanidins) second group detected range from 2% 30% total phenolics. From flavonols, 13...
In sweet cherry ( Prunus avium L.), flowering date is strongly dependent on the environment conditions and, therefore, a trait of major interest for adaptation to climate change. Such can be influenced by genotype-by-environment interaction (G×E), that refers differences in response genotypes different environments. If not taken into account, G×E reduce selection accuracy and overall genetic gain. However, little known about fruit tree species. Flowering highly heritable polygenic which many...
The content of sugars, organic acids, phenolic compounds and selected enzyme activities in the anthocyanin pathway were analyzed NIGRA (Sambucus nigra var. nigra—black fruits) VIRIDIS (S. viridis—green fruits over four stages ripening. share glucose fructose green was higher than colored fruits, sugar increased significantly until third developmental stage. Ripe berries had 47% flavonol glycosides, 34% anthocyanins, 3% hydroxycinnamic acids 14% flavanols, whereas major group making up 88%...
In view of growing requirements the food industry regarding elderberries (genus Sambucus), a need to increase their productivity and improve chemical composition has emerged. With this purpose in mind, numerous elderberry interspecific hybrids have been created. present work, content minerals crucial plant parts was studied. It also investigated whether superior genotypes mineral berries inflorescences could be predicted at early stages development. The results showed that leaves contained...
A sample of 94 pear ( Pyrus L.) genotypes, traditionally present in the Slovenian landscape, was analyzed by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and SSR (SSR), focusing on assessment genetic relationships. The samples involved germplasm communis L., P. nivalis Jacq., pyraster L. AFLP technique, using five Eco RI Mse I primer combinations, revealed molecular at a level 65.95%, representing 93 polymorphic bands among total 141 scored. With analysis, 64 alleles were found seven...
Geomorphologic characteristics like altitude and terrain slope have an important but often neglected impact on light conditions in orchards. The study concentrated the of combination with various colours anti-hail nets (red, grey, blue, green black) microclimate apple results exhibit a large reduction photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) under nets, most prominently blue red (reduction between 38.7 45.6%), while coloured other microclimatic parameters (average air temperature, relative...
This paper addresses the preservation and use of minor root crop genetic resources, mostly aroids yams. Conservation is fraught with difficulty: ex situ collections are expensive to maintain methods for on-farm conservation have not been studied. Conventional breeding strategies present serious limitations when applied these species. Furthermore, evaluation distribution improved material as problematical its conservation. The similarities shared by species regarding their domestication,...
Thermogenesis and its association with taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) flowering was studied during the warmest period of year (December 2002 – February 2003) within a large collection heterogeneous plant material on Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. On each inflorescence, temperatures three main parts spadix ambient air were recorded 38 h. The investigation indicates that significant thermogenic activity inflorescences takes place two successive nights: (1) night when an inflorescence becomes...
The investigations of thermogenesis Alocasia macrorrhizos (L.) G. Don inflorescences took place from December 2002 to February 2003, and 2004 March 2004, in one the wild populations on Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu (South Pacific). Temperatures were measured with six Copper-Constantan (type T) infra-millimetric thermocouples wired a Campbell Scientific 10X data logger. thermogenic period lasted 3642 h, heating was documented male part sterile appendix. highest temperatures recorded They started...
Abstract Attempts were made to produce hybrids among various Sambucus species in order change the plant structure of S. nigra , a medicinal increasing agricultural importance. The first successful genetic recombination, involving four species, was conducted after introduction javanica from South Pacific island. A series analyses involved and some relatives performed obtain reliable data on similarity parental confirm hybrid nature putative hybrids. nuclear 2C DNA content revealed by flow...
The Old Vine from Lent (Maribor, Slovenia) which belongs to the ‘Modra Kavcina’ group ( i.e. ‘Blauer Kolner’ in Vitis International Variety Catalogue and ‘Žametovka’ official varietal list of is considered be oldest living specimen cultivated grapevine (at least 400 years old). aim our study was determine genetic relationships among different accessions group, position within this relationship between other red varieties grown Slovenia neighbouring countries. molecular analysis based on...
