RESEARCH REGARDING FRUITS QUALITY OF SOME SOUR CHERRY GENOTYPES FROM NATIONAL COLLECTION
Journal Title: FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Sour cherry is a particularly valuable fruit species due to its food, technological, therapeutic and agrobiological traits. However, in Romania the sour cherry is cultivated on a small area of only 5,000 ha. In the last 4 years, the requests for the establishment of sour cherry plantations under sub-measure 4.1.a of MADR Bucharest have been increasing, and projects for the establishment of 100 ha have been announced so far. The assortment requested by private growers was limited, due to the fact that in the nurseries there are multiplied a small number of varieties. The objective of this work was to analyze fruit quality parameters of 15 sour cherry genotypes from the national collection of RIFG Pitesti Maracineni (9 Romanian genotypes and 6 genotypes of foreign origin) with the purpose of expanding the valuable ones in the commercial orchards, as well as for the choice of genitors in future breeding programs. The following determinations were carried out: fruit size by weighing, fruits colour with Konica Minolta chromameter, flesh firmness with Qualitest non-destructive penetrometer, soluble solids content with digital refractometer and malic, citric and tartaric acids content with Minititrator Hanna Instrument. Following this study, besides the sour cherry genotypes recommended as gene sources in breeding works, we can also recommend genotypes to be expanded in commercial orchards such as ‘Rival’, ‘Mocăneşti 10-24’, ‘Stelar’, ‘Tarina’, ‘Timpuri de Pitesti’, ‘Erdy Nogygyumolcsu’, ‘Heimanns Conserven’ and ‘Vaskova’.
