In this study, three types of culture media, including Murashige and Skoog (MS), woody plant medium (WPM), and Quoirin and Lepoivre (LP) medium fortified with 0, 1, 2, and 3 mg/L of N⁶-benzyladenine (BA) and 0, 0.25, and 0.50 mg/L thidiazuron (TDZ) were investigated. Specifically, this study aimed...

A Cherry is a forest tree. It has a high propensity for large tree formation and apical dominance. So, the tree must be shaped by pruning. There are lots of cut types for the pruning of cherry trees. But heading cuts and thinning cuts are known as two basic cut types. Heading cuts are the...

The paper considers the possibilities of expanding the assortment of plum cultivars in world production by hybridising large-fruited myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) cultivars with those of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) and other diploid stone fruit species. Because of many years...

Turkey is particularly one of the centres of origin where many cultivars of Prunus cerasifera Ehrh., P. institia L. and P. spinosa L. occured. These species have been worldwide considered with their rootstock features. In this study, correlations between plant growth vigor and sturucture of...

Semi-dwarfing rootstocks have enabled the adoption of high-density orchard systems for sweet cherry. Understanding the effects of training systems on light capture and fruit quality of lateral bearing cultivars early in tree/orchard establishment is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate ...

A new sweet cherry rootstock cultivar 'Jingchun 2' was derived from interspecific hybrids of sour cherry(Prunus cerasus)and Chinese cherry (P. pseudocerasus). It is easy propagation and has very good grafting compatibility with most sweet cherry cultivars. 'Jingchun 2' could keep very slight injury ...

Gisela 5 is one of the most important dwarfing rootstocks for cherry (Prunus avium) in Central Europe, recommended in very high density plantations. It was obtained by crossing Prunus cerasus 'Schattenmorelle' x Prunus canescens and it is known for its high precocity, dwarfing and productivity....

In 2010, the NC-140 Regional Rootstock Research Project coordinated high density sweet cherry orchard system trials at 13 sites across North America. Four canopy architectures were combined with three precocious rootstocks: 'Gisela®3' (Gi3, dwarfing), 'Gisela®5' (Gi5, semi-dwarfing), and 'Gisela®6' ...

In cherry orchards, multi-functional nets represent very useful protection tools against biotic and abiotic stressors, such as Drosophila suzukii, rain, or hail. At the same time, the shading effect of the net can alter the microclimate within the canopy, thus affecting tree physiological...

The influence of three cultivars ('Carmen', 'Kordia' and 'Regina') grafted on six rootstocks (Mahaleb, 'Colt', 'Oblacinska', 'M × M 14', 'Gisela 5' and 'Gisela 6') on the phenolic profile of sweet cherry fruits was studied during a two-year period. All the individual phenolic compounds were...
