Fruit germplasm

"Evaluation of Lonicera caerulea L. genotypes based on morphological characteristics of fruits germplasm collection" is known that a polymorphic population consisting of a large number of genotypes adapts more rapidly to the environment conditions. The availability of a large gene pool predetermines the success of the introduction and further breeding of new cultivars with economically valuable features. Morphometrics is a classical tool for studying the amplitude of the variability of cultivated plants and evaluating the genotypic diversity of the artificial population.

The top of the olecranon honey peach (Prunus persica L.) fruit appears similar to an eagle’s beak. In this study, a single olecranon honey peach with a round-type fruit was observed in our fruit orchard. To explore the genetic mechanism of olecranon formation, we performed full-length transcriptome sequencing analysis of olecranon and round peaches as well as a genome-wide association study of the association of olecranon-type trait loci.

Global warming will expand the range of new and invasive pathogens in orchards, and subsequently increase the risk of disease epidemics and economic losses. The development of new resistant plant varieties can help to reduce the impact of pathogens, however, the breeding speed can be extremely slow, due to the growth rates of the plants, and the availability of resistance genes.

The present study indicated that Aonla fruits extract reduced the growth of Aspergillus niger, Alternaria brassicae and Pencillium notatum at (10, 20, 30 and 40%) concentrations as compared to control within 10 days after incubation. Antimicrobial activity of five edible pulp of minor fruit germplasms resulted that Aonla fruits extract was recorded highest antimicrobial activity as compared to other tested fruit extracts.

Twenty one accessions of okra were assessed for variability for 12 characters. Highly significant differences were observed among the accessions. High phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for per cent incidence of YVMV, yield per plant, fruit weight, and number of fruits per plant indicating the existence of wider genetic variability for these traits in the germplasm.

Thirty five accessions of brinjal were assessed for variability for nineteen characters. Highly significant differences were observed among the accessions. High phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for number of fruits per cluster, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit width, average fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, ascorbic acid content, total phenol content, shoot and fruit borer infestation indicating the existence of wider genetic variability for these traits in the germplasm.

A study was conducted to evaluate the role of bio-physical traits of ber, Ziziphus mauritiana fruits on varietal preference of stone weevil Aubeus himalayanus Voss (Curculionidae: Coleoptera) infestations. Seven popular Ziziphus varieties was evaluated for their bio-physical traits including fruit size, fruit shape, average fruit weight, fruit texture and pulp stone ration (PSR) using standard procedure.

Combining ability effects of yield and its components in okra were studied through full diallel analysis of 66 F1 hybrids derived by crossing 12 nearly homozygous germplasm lines viz., IC- 45831, IC- 282272, IC- 43733, IC- 43750, IC- 45802, Sel – 4, Pusa Mukhmali, Parbhani Kranti, VRO- 3, Sel – 10, Pusa A-4 and SB – 8 and by using Arka Anamika as check. Out of these 12 genotypes, IC-45802, Parbhani Kranti and VRO-3 exhibited highest significant GCA effect for fruit yield per plant (g) and subsequent fruit yield per hectare (q).

Globally, banana is the maximum distributed fruit crop and is the fourth most important commodity and is grown in more than 130 countries across the world, continuously exhibiting a spectacular growth pattern worldwide in an area of 6507.7 million ha producing 98946 million tones. India is the largest producer of banana in the world. There are diverse germplasms of banana traditionally cultivated in different regions of India having remarkable genetic differences. Traditional procedure to characterize banana plants by morphological descriptors has many limitations.
