TRANSMISSION OF “THE WEIGHT OF 50KERNELS” TRAIT TO HYBRID DESCENDANTS OF ALMONDS

Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

Hybrids showing values of ‘the weight of 50 kernels’ higher than those of their genitors can be found especially in the Texas x Pollen mixture combination with 38.70%, Texas x Mari de stepă with 42.22%, Texas x Tétényi bőtermő with 50% and Primorski x Tétényi bőtermő with 26.92%. Consequently, the F1 hybrid generation, having heterozygous genitors, shows percentages of segregation that are conditioned by the interaction of the genotypes involved, determining the emergence of a number of hybrids from each combination that can be successfully used in the genetic enhancement process.
