Varieties and breeding.

Abstract: This chapter describes the main and minor cultivars, as well as other species and botanical varieties, of pineapple. The genetics and breeding system, including cytogenetics, selection, and rogueing, are discussed. Considerations in hand pollination, seed handling, germination and nursery management are also mentioned.

“…Following phenotypic averages were obtained, respectively, for fruit mass with crown, titratable acidity and ratio: 550 g, 0.7% and 31 ('BRS Imperial'); 842 g, 0.5% and 40 ('BRS Vitória'); 946 g, 0.4% and 44 ('Pérola'). The pineapple growing in Brazil is still based on 'Pérola', which even susceptible to fusariosis (dependent of the chemical control by fungicides) and with totally spiny leaf margin presents wide adaptation, vigorous growth and great acceptance in the domestic market for fresh fruit consumption [2,3]. However, "BRS Imperial" cv., for example, showed excellent results in Bahia State -Brazil with 1.8 kg of fruit mass with crown [15].…”

“…This result indicates high genetic variability among 364 cloned hybrids, as well as favorable conditions for the improvement of both evaluated traits (Table 4). According to Cabral et al [16] and Sanewski et al [2] the hybridization of heterozygous genitors is responsible for most of the widely variable genotypes through gene recombination. Significance for FMWC (p <0.01) were detected regarding the block effects.…”

“…Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit and is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae . The so-called “the king of fruit”, named because of its crown of leaves, is mainly cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions due to the favorable climate and rainfall distribution.…”
