Bitter cherries (Prunus avium var. sylvestris Ser.) represent a valuable raw material in the traditional Eastern European food industry with high potential within horticultural chain and circular economy context of global security due to exceptional nutritional properties. The present study was carried out period 2022–2024 had as its main purpose evaluation fruit quality production indices some bitter cherry cultivars suitable for technological norms specific industrial processing. Five...
Native genotypes of fruit species are an important source phenotypic variability for breeding and provide valuable material the creation new cultivars. Therefore, present study was conducted to characterize decipher 39 native cherry (Prunus avium L.) with some bitter taste from spontaneous or cultivated flora Northeast European region, in Romania. The research during 2018–2022 aimed analyze biochemical composition physical characteristics fruits order identify most useful traits...
Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a temperate fruit species whose production might be highly impacted by climate change in the near future. Diversity of plant material could an option to mitigate these risks enabling producers have new cultivars well adapted environmental conditions. In this study, subsets sweet collections 19 European countries were genotyped using 14 SSR. The objectives study (i) assess genetic diversity parameters, (ii) estimate levels population structure, and (iii)...
Sweet cherry grown under sustainable management produces highly valuable fruits, whose quality shows important biochemical and morphological changes during ripening. Research was carried out in Iasi (Romania), with the aim to assess characteristics of sweet fruits three cultivars (Van, Andreiaș, Margonia), an inner or outer position inside tree crown, at pre-ripening full ripeness phase. In 2022, colour component a* showed higher values cv. Van Andreias red position, whereas components L* b*...
Abstract The studies were performed for four consecutive years (2016–2019) at the Fruit Growing Research Station (North-East part of Romania), using eleven sweet cherry genotypes as research material. Five them are new cultivars – ‘Cătălina’, ‘Andreiaş’, ‘Maria’, ‘George’, and ‘Margonia’ obtained by means controlled hybridization or open pollination, six their progenitors (‘Van’, ‘Boambe de Cotnari’, ‘Stella’, ‘Fromm’, ‘Ciliegia di Ottobre’, ‘HC 27/4’ hybrid). experiment compared traits with...
The research concerning the improvement of cherry assortment, cultivars’ quality and avoiding market crowding with fresh cherries only on a short term are extremely important objectives for cherries’ breeding. To accomplish some these objectives, during 1981-2017, hybridization selection hybrids were performed at Research Station Fruit Growing Iași (RSFG Iași), in N-E part Romania, concluding series promising hybrid selections. They have been grafted, planted studied trial fields. Therefore,...
Sweet cherry tree (Prunus avium L., Rosaceae) is a species with high economic efficiency in production and the last twenty years scientific interest increased North-East region of Romania. In area Ia�i 2014 combined influence fruits position on level different cultivars was recorded terms morphological biochemical characteristics for nine ex situ collected. Fruits collected from two height-levels areas were used analysis each cultivar. Fruit pulp kernel investigated biometry, total solids...
From 1994 - 2016, the Research Station for Fruit Growing (RSFG) Iași approved 28 cherry cultivars, of which three were early cultivars (Cetăţuia, Cătălina and Amaris), 20 middle maturation (Maria, Golia, Ştefan, Bucium, Iaşirom, Tereza, Lucia, Radu, Oana, Alexus, Andreiaş, Ludovan, Cociuvaş, Iosifan, Paulică, Mihailis, Muşatini, Elaiaşi, Amar Maxut, Galata), five had late (Andante, Marina, Croma, Margonia, George). Van, as most widespread cultivar in Romanian orchards, was used a control....
This paper presents the important features of indigenous wild cherry genotypes suitable for processing. The research took place between 2017–2020, having ten Romanian as study material. harvesting maturity was recorded in first decade June early cultivar (G10) and decades two three other studied genotypes, all them with a middle season maturation. number days end flowering maturation 54 66 (G9). average weight fruit equatorial diameter varied 2.1 g 13.80 mm G4, respectively, 5.5 21.35 G10....
The soil and climate conditions in Romanian Northeastern area are favorable for cherry cultivation, but some times can occurred calamities. paper presents a study which during 2020 at the Research Station Fruit Growing (N-E of Romania), using five sweet genotypes as research material: ‘Van’, ‘Croma’, ‘Elaiași’, ‘HC920402’, ‘HC930208’. Observations determinations were performed regards to frostdamages, main growing phenological stages physical chemical traits fruit. evaluated beginning...
The physiological performance, growth and competitive ability of fruit trees are increasingly affected by the effects global climate change, very different at a regional level, which mainly causes considerable changes in water availability. purpose this study was evaluation three sweet cherry cultivars from Research Station for Fruit Growing (RSFG) Iași, Romania under climatic conditions 2022–2023 performing investigations into regime transpiration process through stomatal conductance,...
Sweet cherry has the highest intensity of photosynthesis among all stone fruit crops, thus, studies on physiological processes using lighting resources and improving photosynthetic activity provide a theoretical basis for increasing stabilizing production. The purpose present study was to evaluate process by determining amount active pigments stomatal conductance at leaf level, under aspect light tree canopy level. research carried out over two years (2022-2023) three sweet cultivars (‘Van’,...
Starting with 1981, the objectives of breeding programmes in Research Station for Fruit Growing (RSFG) Iaşi, Romania, took into consideration on-going improvement sweet cherry assortment cultivars having fruit-bearing precocity, great productions, self-fertile, decreased trees’ vigour, crown compactness, resistant to anthracnose, monilia, frost and fruit’s cracking, flowering lateness, superior quality fruits ripening time at extremities cherries’ maturation season. As a result that place up...
The aim of this paper is to present the valuable features some sweet cherry genotypes obtained at RSFG Iasi, that improve autochthonous early ripening assortment.On fresh fruit market, preference for cultivars with "bigarreau" fruits, shiny red colour, resistant cracking, weighting over 7 g.Analyzing values fertility index during three years study, new are highly productive as recorded were between 30.3-62.7%.In terms weight (g) and equatorial diameter (mm), cultivar largest 'Cătălina' an...
The biological properties of the sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), as well physico-chemical characteristics fruit were studied for 3 years within RSFG Iași (2018-2020). investigations carried out at Sârca Research Base on six varieties cherries. These included following phenological stages (flowering period and ripening period), but also particularities in terms physical biochemical composition. highest weight was recorded 2020 ‘Regina’ cultivar. is characterized by an average flowering...
The evolution of the phenological stages fruit trees species is directly influenced by climatic conditions so that period different from one to another.The studies were carried out within Research Station for Fruit Growing Iaşi, in research fields main tree 2018-2020.Unfavourable weather during flowering led damage viability buds, especially stone due late spring frosts, which affected production.In particular, apricots, peaches and sweet cherries suffered considerable losses.The results...
Abstract The paper proposes the improvement of current bitter cherry assortment with new creations made at Iaşi, adapted to specific conditions from NE area Romania. For new, productive, disease resistant cultivars fruits good quality, cracking different maturation stages, in 1981 Fruit Growing Research Station (F.G.R.S.)
