Sweet cherry fruit of the cultivar ‘Kordia’ derived from trees growing on GiSelA 5®, Colt and Mazzard F12/1 rootstocks were harvested at stage consumption maturity stored for three weeks in control atmosphere – CA (20% CO2 3% O2, RH 90%, 2 ±0.5°C), modified packaging MAP (2–4% CO2, 13–18% 2°C ± 0.5°C) air AA (RH 80%, ±0.5°C). The had a significant effect all tested quality parameters directly a...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The primary physiological mechanism influencing tree vigour in size-controlling rootstocks of peach has been related to the hydraulic conductance of the rootstock. Differences in rootstock hydraulic conductance are a function of rootstock xylem vessel characteristics. The present research examined whether the vigour and xylem vessel characteristics of the rootstock influence...

Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) and cherry A (CVA) are two viruses that mainly infect plants of the genus Prunus. Full-length sequences these viruses, collected in Czech Republic from cerasifera plants, were obtained via HTS sequencing. Phylogenetic analyses based on NJ method Splitstree tools showed PNRSV isolate (ON088600-ON088602) is a divergent other molecular groups, sharing less th...

The relevance of the research is due to a change in strength, frequency and direction harmful weather stresses associated with climate change, which has an extremely negative effect on general condition productivity plants, disrupts conditions for exit plants from dormant stage, while accelerating rate spring development. rise positive temperatures autumn period delays entry into phase organic ...

Crown gall caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens is the major limiting factor in raising healthy stone fruit plants in nurseries. The incidence of crown gall varies from 4 to 97.5 per cent at different locations resulting in out right rejection of an average of 30 per cent stone fruit plants in nurseries. Agrobacterium radiobacter strain K-84 has been reported to provide nearly complete control o...
