Abstract:
The effects of pollens introduced from 6 sweet and sour
cherry cultivars (Siah mashhad sweet cherry, shishei sweet
cherry, local sour cherry and Érdi bötermö,
Érdi jubileum and Cigány meggy sour cherry) were
studied on fruit properties of three Hungarian sour cherry cultivars (Érdi
bötermö, Érdi jubileum and Cigány
meggy ) grown under Mashhad, Iran climatic conditions. The results
showed relative variation in Hungarian sour cherry fruits as affected
by pollen sources. Pollens of Siah mashhad as paternal choice had
better effects were gave high quality of maternal tree fruits compared
to control and other pollen donors. Pollens of Siah mashhad caused
the increase of fruit size in Cigány meggy cultivar, as
well as reduction in total soluble solids of Érdi bötermö
fruits, however, it does not have significant effect on the qualitative
traits of Érdi jubileum fruits.
