Several field collecting trips in the 2009-2011 period confirmed that forest fruit species are an inexhaustible genofond of extremely important varieties yield excellent quality and high nutritive value, with wide range applications, including nutritional, medicinal food production. The aim this work was to develop long term interactive integrated strategy for selection wild through different breeding methods, as well popularization selected products their integration into intensive growing....

Abstract Cherry breeding and genetic studies can benefit from genome-wide marker assays. Currently, a 6K SNP array enables genome scans in cherry; however, only third of these SNPs are informative, with low coverage many genomic regions. Adding previously detected to this could provide cost-efficient upgrade increased across the 670 cM/352.9 Mb cherry whole sequence. For sweet cherry, new were chosen following focal point strategy, grouping six eight within 10-kb windows an average 0.6 cM...

Alfalfa is an autotetraploid, allogamous and heterozygous forage legume, whose varieties are synthetic populations. Due to the complex nature of species, information about genetic diversity germplasm used in any alfalfa breeding program most beneficial. The five varieties, involved progeny tests at Institute Field Vegetable Crops, was characterized based on RAPD markers. A total 60 primers were screened, out which 17 selected for analysis diversity. 156 polymorphic bands generated, with 10.6...

SummaryThe search for growth-reducing rootstocks has produced selections of 'Oblačinska' sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) and European ground fruticosa Pall.). The methodological approach to germplasm collection was a compromise between specific characters random sampling the population. On principle 19 variables in 27 accessions, this research brought valuable diverse plant material into rootstock breeding. vigour adult trees on their own roots ranged from extremely weak, such as (SV1, SV3,...

Abstract Chemical properties ( L -ascorbic acid and total sugars content, pH, titratable acidity, dry solid content), phenolic compounds (total phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols) antioxidant capacity were measured in ripe fruits of wild-growing strawberry, bilberry, elderberry from eastern Serbia. All three selected are rich sources nutraceuticals: vitamin C, sugars, different classes their extracts expressed high activity. Elderberry possess highest concentration...

The paper presents a protocol for micropropagation of Prunus sp. rootstocks included in the sweet and sour cherry breeding program. Germplasm diversity rootstock derives from natural populations, where conditions biological vectors systematic infection with viral diseases are constantly present. establishment aseptic culture depends primarily on explant type, as all selections were collected habitat. For nearly investigated selections, dormant buds favored source, due to enabling rosette...

Market interest in terrestrial orchids has risen significantly the last decade. Their therapeutic potential and growing consumption brought some species close to extinction. This study aimed evaluate positive negative, internal external aspects of biodiversity utilization Fruška gora mountain (Serbia) using SWOT analysis, thus determine their conservation necessity market potential. The included data obtained through field survey analyses, vitro germination experiments, priority...

Abstract In May 2016, an unusual appearance of leaf spot (water‐soaked, brown‐purple, round to angular surrounded with yellow halos) was observed on the leaves wild cherry specimens grown in Rimski Šančevi, Vojvodina (North Serbia). The causal pathogen isolated from diseased Nutrient Agar supplemented 5% sucrose and identified as Pseudomonas cerasi based multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA). PCR amplification sequencing four housekeeping genes— gapA , gltA rpoD gyrB —showed 100% ( ), 99.81% )...

Prunus cerasus L. `Obla?inska? sour cherry germplasm was established in vitrodirectly from situ plants on different explant collection dates, enabling quick clonal multiplication and introduction to a rootstock breeding program. Rosette initiation of four investigated genotypes possible November April the medium containing Schenk Hildebrandt (SH) macroelements, Murashige Skoog (MS) microelements, vitamins supplemented with (in mg L?1) 6-benzyladenine (BA), 0.5; indole-3-butyric acid (IBA),...

Twelve cultivars and selections of sweet sour cherries were surveyed characterized agromorphologically. A total 33 characters, mainly defined by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute Union for Protection New Cultivars Plants, used to describe tree, branches, leaves, blooming, fruits. This allowed unequivocally clear separation between six distinct growth forms-compact, dwarf, upright (pillar), columnar, weeping, standard form-as well as evaluation their interaction with four...

The general aim of this research was to determine whether the cherry root cambium possesses similar water-stress adaptation abilities as scion. Specifically, study aimed there is a shift in xylem structure due precipitation fluctuations and temperature increase during growing season two species. Oblačinska sour European ground roots with secondary were anatomically surveyed detail, correlated meteorological conditions occurring vegetation when formed. Under environmental signals, both...

Summary Ophrys sphegodes Mill. is a wild orchid species which threatened and protected due to its pollination biology, small seed habitat destruction. The aim of this study was establish asymbiotic germination protocol for the purpose ex situ conservation. Two basal media Knudson C (KC) Malmgren (MM), supplemented with organic additives (peptone (PE), L-glutamin (A)e, folic acid, casein hydrolysate (CA)) added separately control KC--C MM--C were used in present research. All nutrition...

Abstract Severe climate alterations that seriously challenge fruit production, combined with the demand for healthy, pesticide-free fruits, continuously direct rootstock/cultivar selection towards high adaptable varieties breeding. This study aimed to investigate rootstocks’ influence on performance of grafted ‘Summit’ cherry trees, including potentially dwarfing Prunus cerasus , fruticosa and mahaleb rootstock candidates. Anatomical properties scion stems were investigated determine...

Biodiversity of natural populations, biodiversity located on farm and the introduced cultivars selections are a rich source genetic variability in sour sweet cherries, but they have never been bread with aim creating decorative varieties. Low vigour ? dwarfing upright cherry genotypes, NS 1/16 KK 1/24 KK, were selected from population Fruska Gora private arboretum, respectively. Sweet 6/15 K RS 8/27 part conservation resources. Furthermore, reduction was achieved by defining specific...
