Abstract
Summary`Topred' is one of the main apple cultivars in Israel. Since `Topred' exhibits full self incompatibility, its fruit production is totally dependent on cross pollination. The two commercial pollenizers of `Topred' in Israel are `Golden Delicious' and `Jonathan'. In the study presented here, the potential of these two pollenizers was determined. In two consecutive seasons, it was found that the rate of fruit-set and fruit yield were significantly higher in the rows of `Topred' adjacent to the `Golden Delicious' as compared with the rows adjacent to the `Jonathan'. PCR analysis of the S-alleles, a polymorphic gene locus, determining the outcome of pollination, revealed that `Jonathan' and `Topred' share allele S9. PCR-S-allele analysis of progeny seedlings revealed that in `Jonathan' only S7, the unshared allele, took part in fertilization, whereas both alleles of `Golden Delicious' (S2,S3) participated at equal rates. Thus, the lower potency of `Jonathan' as a pollenizer of `Topred' is due, at least ...
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology is an international, peer-reviewed journal, which publishes original research contributions into the production, improvement and utilisation of horticultural crops. It aims to provide scientific knowledge of interest to those engaged in scientific research and the practice of horticulture. The scope of the journal includes studies on fruit and other perennial crops, vegetables and ornamentals grown in temperate or tropical regions and their use in commercial, amenity or urban horticulture. Papers, including reviews, that give new insights into plant and crop growth, yield, quality and response to the environment, are welcome, including those arising from technological innovation and developments in crop genome sequencing and other biotechnological advances.
