Zusammenfassung Der Iran ist einer der wichtigsten Pflaumenproduzenten der Welt. Diese Untersuchung wurde durchgeführt, um die agrar-morphologischen Eigenschaften von 100 Pflaumen-Genotypen im Iran zu vergleichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten statistisch signifikante Unterschiede zwischen diesen Genotypen. Die Blattgröße, die Fruchtform, das spezifische Gewicht der Frucht, die Fruchtfarbe und die Fruchtfleischfestigkeit zeigten die größte relative Variationsbreite. Die Blütezeit erstreckte sich vom 25. März bis zum 5. April und die Reifezeit von Ende Juli bis Anfang August. Es gab eine enge positive Korrelation zwischen dem Fruchtgewicht und der Fruchtgröße und zwischen dem Fruchtgewicht und der Blattgröße. Die Hauptkomponentenanalyse zeigte eine hohe Erkennungssicherheit bei den gemessenen Variablen. Die meisten dieser Variablen bildeten Eigenschaften ab, die sich auf Fruchtund Blattgröße bezogen. Die Clusteranalyse gruppierte die untersuchten Genotypen in zwei Haupt-Cluster und mehrere Sub-Cluster. Es kann daraus gefolgert werden, dass das Fruchtgewicht, die Fruchtfarbe und die Fruchtfleischfestigkeit sehr wichtige Eigenschaften sind und vom Anbauer als erste Parameter beim Auswahlprozess angesehen werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung können hilfreich sein, die biologische Vielfalt autochthoner Genotypen zu erfassen, um die Genressourcen in situ und ex situ nach einem Leitfaden genau zu beschreiben.Schlüsselwörter Pflaume · Phänotypisches Erscheinungsbild · Agrar-morphologische Variablen · Multivariable Analyse · Genressource Abstract Iran is one of the most important plum producers in the world. The present study was conducted to compare agro-morphological characteristics of 100 traditional plum genotypes in Iran. The results showed statistically significant differences between the studied genotypes and leaf dimensions, fruit shape, fruit density, fruit color and fruit flesh firmness showed the highest relative range of variation. Flowering time was extended from 25 March to 5 April and fruit ripening from late July to early August. There were high positive correlations between fruit weight and fruit dimensions and between fruit weight and leaf dimensions. Principal component analysis showed high discrimination capabilities of variables measured. Most of these variables were characters linked to fruit and leaf size. Cluster analysis grouped the studied genotypes into two main clusters with several sub-clusters. In can be concluded that fruit weight, fruit color and fruit flesh firmness are very important characteristics and probably are the first characters to be considered in a farmers selection process. The results of the current study provided information which may be useful for determining the biodiversity of autochthonous genotypes, for the purposes of obtaining guidelines in determining in situ and ex situ germplasm characterization.

“…Corresponding with our findings, other authors [10,11,17,18] showed morphological evaluation to be an efficient tool for characterization of almond germplasm and for species distinction. Moreover, in a recent study on sour cherry variability [24], fruit characteristics could clearly discriminate among samples.…”

“…The aim of PCA is to reduce the number of traits used to discriminate genotypes [12]. Previously, PCA has been used to establish genetic relationships among cultivars and genotypes, to study correlations among tree traits and to evaluate germplasm of different Prunus species [10,[20][21][22][23][24]. Factor loading values greater than 0.65 were regarded as significant.…”

-Introduction. Iranian almond germplasm is regarded as one of the most diverse and valuable genetics resources for almond improvement. Materials and methods. In the present study, 155 almond genotypes were evaluated to determine the overall degree of variation and to detect superior trees. The variation was observed for traits related to phenology, morphology, yield and fruit quality. Results and discussion. Nut and kernel traits contributed most of the total variation but there were also significant differences in flowering and ripening times. The majority of important correlations were determined between the characteristics representing nut size and kernel size. Cluster and principal component analyses confirmed considerable diversity in the studied germplasm. Conclusion. Genotypes MSh11, MSh100, MSh97, MSh24 and MSh126 were the best trees in terms of flowering season, consistently high fruit set, large nut and kernel size, and low percentage of double kernels. Furthermore, genotypes MSh9 and MSh110 were very late flowering and could be useful in breeding to improve flowering season of almond.

“…PC4 with 6.65 % of total variance included can be consisted as a factor fruit size because this component was strong positively correlated with fruit width, fruit weight, and fruit flesh weight. Previously, PCA had been used to establish genetic relationships among cultivars and genotypes, to study correlations among morphological traits and to evaluate germplasm of different plant species (Khadivi-Khub et al 2012, 2013. PCA can be used to identify patterns in a set of biological data derived from recording several characteristics at a time (Iezzoni and Pritts 1991).…”

Hawthorns (Crataegus) are used for horticultural and medicinal purposes. They can be used as a rootstock for grafting. They are graft compatible with Mespilus L. (medlar), pear (Pyrus L.), and quince (Cydonia Mill.). Moreover, they are traditionally used for their cardio-protective benefits and antioxidative potential. The pharmacological importance of Crataegus is attributed mainly to components such as flavonoids, procyanidin, aromatic acid, and cardiotonic amines. In the present investigation, 70 accessions of Crataegus monogyna Jacq. originating from natural populations in the Kashan region, Iran, were characterized using a set of 49 morphological traits. An analysis of variance showed a high variability in the evaluated accessions and significant differences were found between them for most of traits measured. Results from simple correlation analysis showed significant positive and negative correlations among certain important characteristics. Leaf length was positively and significantly correlated with leaf width; fruit weight was positively and significantly correlated with fruit length and width. Fruit flesh weight showed high positive correlations with fruit width and weight and negative correlation with seed number. A principal component analysis showed high discrimination capabilities of variables measured. Cluster analysis revealed a grouping of accessions in three major clusters, where clusters with large number of accessions contained sub-clusters. The present findings indicated that the studied hawthorn germplasm must be conserved as valuable genetic resources.
