“…With respect to the main crop, 'San Antonio' and 'Blanca Bétera cultivars were oblate while 'Cuello Dama Blanco' was globose and the rest of the cultivars were oblong (Table 3). It has also been reported by Condit (1941) that the fruit index (width/length) is of great importance in packing and transportation. The results obtained for this index in this study were similar to those obtained by Ç aliskan and Polat (2008) from different genotypes in Turkey (Table 3).…”

“…In Tunisia, this species is represented by a large number of varieties which are facing genetic erosion. Many studies have reported the morphological characterization of fig cultivars and proved the sustainability of the use of morphological parameters to evaluate and to establish a description of genotypes [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Thus, it has been assumed that the most discriminant parameters were those related to leaves and fruits.…”

Tunisian fig (Ficus carica L.) genetic diversity and cultivar characterization using microsatellite markers. Abstract-Introduction. Ficus carica L., well adapted to the Mediterranean climate, is ubiquitous in Tunisia. In spite of the large possibilities of its adaptation to the Tunisian climate, its cultivation remains traditional. In Tunisia, this species is represented by a large number of varieties which are facing genetic erosion. To save these genetic resources, we studied some of the Tunisian varieties using molecular markers. The aim of this analysis was to study the genetic diversity of some cultivars and to characterize them. Materials and methods. Six microsatellites were used to characterize 16 cultivars (Ficus carica L.) belonging to two fig tree collections in the south of Tunisia. Results. The molecular markers used appeared highly polymorphic in common fig trees since 4-12 alleles per locus and a mean of heterozygoty of 0.656 were scored. The resolving power (R p) of the six microsatellites tested ranged from 2.12 to 3.87 for the 16 cultivars studied, showing a significant genetic diversity (H t = 0.762). Genetic differentiation between geographical groups was low (G st = 0.032). The factorial correspondence analysis showed no well-defined relation between the 16 cultivars and their geographical origin. The genotype patterns allowed us to discriminate all of the cultivars. Conclusion. The characterization of the accessions belonging to different varieties was possible, showing the power and efficiency of the molecular tools used.

Résumé-Introduction. Ficus carica L., bien adapté au climat méditerranéen, est omniprésent en Tunisie. Malgré ses grandes possibilités d'adaptation au climat tunisien, sa culture demeure traditionnelle. En Tunisie, cette espèce est représentée par un grand nombre de variétés qui sont exposées à l'érosion génétique. Afin de préserver ces ressources génétiques, nous avons étudié certaines variétés tunisiennes en utilisant des marqueurs moléculaires. Le but de ces analyses a été d'étudier la diversité génétique et de caractériser ces cultivars. Matériel et méthodes. Six microsatellites ont été utilisés afin de caractériser 16 cultivars de figuiers appartenant à deux collections du sud tunisien. Résultats. Les marqueurs moléculaires utilisés se sont révélés hautement polymorphes chez le figuier commun, puisque 4 à 12 allèles par locus et une hétérozygotie moyenne de 0,656 ont été enregistrés. Le pouvoir de résolution (R p) des six microsatellites testés a varié de 2,12 à 3,87 pour les 16 cultivars étudiés qui ont montré une importante diversité génétique totale (H t = 0,762). La différenciation génétique entre collections a été faible (< 5 %) (G st = 0,032). L'analyse factorielle des correspondances n'a pas mis en évidence de relations entre les cultivars et leu...

“…A bigger ostiolium width is an unfavorable characteristic since it may let certain diseases into the fruit [7]. On the other hand, fruit skin cracks may cause quality loss particularly in transportation and storage.…”

Experiments were carried to determine correlations of important fruit and plant characteristics using 30 fig genotypes. The correlation coefficients between these traits were calculated using SAS program. Fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length, neck length, ostiolium width, abscission of the stalk from the twig, ease of peeling, fruit skin cracks, thickness of the fruit skin, texture of skin, fruit ribs, fruit internal cavity, TSS (total soluble solids), pH, acidity, TSS/acidity, trunk diameter, shoot length, yield per tree were traits examined in the study. According to five-year data, fruit weight was found to have positive correlation by fruit diameter (r = 0.92; P < 0.01), fruit length (r = 0.81; P < 0.01), neck length (r = 0.35; P < 0.01), ostiolium width (r = 0.23; P < 0.01), trunk diameter (r = 0.26; P < 0.01), fruit skin cracks (r = 0.26; P < 0.01) and negative correlation by TSS (r = -0.26; P < 0.01) and fruit ribs (r = -0.21; P < 0.01). Relations between some traits such as ostiolium width, abscission of the stalk from the twig, ease of peeling, fruit skin cracks, texture of skin and fruit ribs are deviated based on the years. Some relationships between fig fruit characteristics exist, which may help researchers to solve some problems such as ostiolium width and fruit skin cracking. These studies may contribute to producing fruit with a good quality and help to evaluate new cultivars.
