“…The pomological results of the A. unedo accession were comparable to those of Celikel et al (2008) where several characteristics of 51 A. unedo accessions sampled from Turkey were determined. Although the accession characterized in this study was a different genotype, mean values for this accession were within the range described by Celikel et al (2008).…”

“…In recent years RAPD have been used for studies between different A. unedo genotypes (Takhrouni and Boussaid, 2010;Lopes et al, 2012;Gomes et al, 2013). There are also a few references on morphological traits used for diversity studies in A. unedo in Italy (Mulas et al, 1998), Turkey (Celikel et al, 2008) and Portugal (Lopes et al, 2012). Koukos et al (2015) studied the surface microscalpture and waxes of Greek A. unedo and A. αndrachne, this being the only information on genetic diversity of Greek Arbutus spp.…”

Arbutus andrachne, A. unedo and A. × andrachnoides found in the Greek macchia are promising species for reforestations, ornamental use, as well as for medicinal use and the food industry. Μorphological traits and molecular markers (RAPD) were used to identify and distinguish these Arbutus species to facilitate their exploitation. Since there are no descriptors established for Arbutus spp., 23 qualitative morphological characteristics of crown, foliage, bark, flowering, fruiting, and four quantitative morphological characteristics of leaf and fruit were selected and used to define differences and similarities between sampled individuals of A. andrachne, A. unedo and individuals with intermediate characteristics sampled as A. × andrachnoides. Twenty eight individuals representative of three Arbutus taxa were sampled in two typical macchia forest areas of the prefecture of Attica, Greece. Cluster analysis based on morphological characteristics separated the individuals in three distinct groups, and this was confirmed by molecular analysis. Τhe intermediate form was indicated as A. × andrachnoides, a natural hybrid of A. andrachne and A. unedo. Fifteen 10-mer oligonucleotide arbitrary primers used to amplify genomic DNA generated 166 reproducible polymorphic fragments, which revealed that A. × andrachnoides has higher degree of genetic similarity with A. andrachne than A. unedo. The applied morphometric characteristics are suggested as a basis to develop a complete list of discriminating descriptors for Arbutus genus.

“…These were genotypes selected by a selection program from the native strawberry tree population grown in the Central Black Sea Region of Turkey (Celikel et al 2008). To separate seeds from fruits, fruits were soaked in water for 1 day to soften pulp and they were rubbed between fingers to separate seeds from pulp.…”

Demirsoy L., Demirsoy H., Celikel G., Macit I., Ersoy B., 2010: Seed treatment with GA 3 or stratification enhances emergence of some strawberry tree genotypes -Short communication. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 37: 34-37.The strawberry tree is a valuable ornamental plant because of its attractive red fruits in the fall and winter, and pinkish-white flowers in fall. Additionally, its fruits are processed into various products such as jam, marmalade, wine and alcohol. Since, propagation of the strawberry tree is difficult. This study aimed to examine the influence of stratification and GA 3 on breaking seed dormancy and enhancing emergence rate of Arbutus unedo. The influence of seed treatment with GA 3 or stratification at 4°C was examined on emergence of five genotypes of strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) near the Black Sea in Turkey. Results indicate that emergence rate increased with increasing GA 3 concentration from 300 to 1,200 ppm and stratification duration from 5 to 15 weeks. In all examined genotypes, the highest emergence rate was obtained using 1,200 ppm GA 3 or 15 weeks of stratification. Regardless of the positive effects of the above treatments, seed emergence rates in all genotypes examined in this study were low. Application of GA 3 or stratification of seeds increased emergence percentage in all Arbutus unedo genotypes examined in the current study.
