“…Late blossoming is an important factor to protect any damage caused by spring frost (Unal et al, 1999), as it is one of the main objectives in the first phase of the apricot breeding programme. Such variation in flower characters have also been reported by several workers (Gulcan et al, 2006;Maria et al, 2010;Polat and Caliskan, 2013;Kumar et al, 2016).…”

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is one of the most important stone fruits, basically due to its good taste and multiple uses. Commercial growing of apricots is marred by monoculture owing to predominance of very few cultivars like New Castle, Royal etc. However, there is a wide array of germplasm of apricot growing wild in northwestern Himalayas. The ever-changing environment and consumer preferences demand apricots with wider adaptation and better yield and fruit quality. This is necessitated more from crop diversification point of view, and also in view of the widespread use of apricot in processing, thus enhancing farmer's income. So, efforts were made to select superior genotypes from wild apricots in Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh during 2015-16. Observations on flowering, tree and leaf characters were recorded in 42 genotypes. Late and extended flowering was observed among the selected genotypes. Maximum trunk girth (78.84 cm) was recorded in SCK5 under Chirgaon location. Opening of flower stated from 4 th week of February (SRB1, SRB3, SRB4, SR2, STB1, STB2 and STB3) and extended upto 1 st week of April (SCK1, SCK3, SCK4, SCK5 and SCK6). These characters can be used for further breeding improvement of apricots like late flowering trait to protect it from spring frost.

“…Turkey dominates world apricot production with more than 700,000 Mt produced in 2008 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2008). As considerable genetic variability exists in Turkish apricot germplasm, and this crop is of great economical significance, many detailed analyses have been performed in recent years on morphological and pomological characterization, as well as on fruit quality, yield, and fertilization characteristics of Turkish apricots (Akin et al, 2008;Asma and Ozturk, 2005;Gülcan et al, 2006). However, discrepancies between study years for orchard bagging studies and pollen tube growth analyses have led to uncertainty of the self-incompatibility genotypes for many Turkish cultivars (Misirli et al, 2006).…”

The S-genotypes of a set of Turkish and Hungarian apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of their S-RNase intron regions. In addition, the S-genotyping method was extended to the SFB gene to detect the non-functional SC-haplotype and hence reliably identify self-compatible apricot cultivars. We determined the complete S-genotype of 51 cultivars and the partial S-genotype of four cultivars. A total of 32 different S-genotypes were assigned to the 51 cultivars, and many of them (28) were classified into newly established cross-incompatibility groups III through XIV. Another 12 cultivars demonstrated unique incompatible genotypes and seven self-compatible cultivars were identified in the examined accessions. The fact that Turkish and Hungarian apricot cultivars carry 12 and five S-alleles, respectively, and all five alleles detected in Hungarian cultivars were also present in Turkish apricots furnished molecular evidence supporting the long-suspected historical connection between Hungarian and Turkish apricots. The connection between these two gene pools appeared to be relatively recent and associated with historical events dating back 300 years. Our results confirm that Turkish germplasm contributed considerably to the development of several desirable Hungarian apricot cultivars. Results suggest that the mutation rendering the SC-haplotype non-functional might have occurred somewhere east of central Turkey.

“…Akin et al (2008) reported that the most important Turkish apricot cultivars had SSC and titratable acidity between 10.20 and 23.65% and 0.08 and 1.00%, respectively. Gulcan et al (2006) reported that Abuzer Gülen had the highest acidity value and Ziraat Okulu had the lowest SSC among national apricot cultivars in Turkey. SSC or sugar content in fruits represents from 10 -20% of the fruit's fresh weight and increases as fruit matures to produce a less acidic, sweeter fruit.…”

With their rich nutrients, fantastic flavor and taste, excellent medicinal value and health care functions, apricot has been continuously well received by consumers as important horticultural crop. The fruit has a great market value as fresh and dried food commodity and has the highest market share of agricultural income. Aprikoz an important apricot cultivar in particularly grown in western part of Aras valley located in Eastern Anatolia in Turkey. With long growing period, different types of Aprikoz cultivar has been shown in field in terms of tree and fruit characteristics. This study aimed to determine of some important fruit characteristic of eight accession of Aprikoz cultivar grown in Kagizman district located in western part of Aras valley. The accessions were compared each other in terms of fruit weight, flesh/seed ratio, soluble solid content, titratable acidity, total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content. The results revealed that accessions statistically highly differed from each other for all of the searched parameters. The accessions exhibited fruit weight, fruit flesh/seed ratio, soluble solid content and titratable acidity between 36. 55 -48.22 g, 8.67 -13.33, 19.12 -22.83% and 1.27 -2.02%, respectively. Total antioxidant capacity varied from 4.17 to 6.37 mmol AA l-1 based on FRAP assay. The total phenolic contents ranged between 255 -356 mg GAE l-1. The results can be the basis for the selection of suitable accessions for future breeding activities in apricot.
