INHERITANCE IN APRICOT (PRUNUS ARMENIACA L.) .PART III. THE STUDY OF SOME INHERITANCE CHARACTERS IN THE APRICOT PROGENY OF F₁ GENERATION

These investigations were conducted at the Fruit Research
Institute, Čačak, during the period 1970-1976. In
the breeding programme (1970) were included eight apricot
crosses, as follows: Kecskemeter Rose x Henderson, Kecskemeter
Rose x California, Kecskemeter Rose x Hungarian
Best, Hungarian Best x Henderson, Hungarian Best x California,
Hungarian Best x Kecskemeter Rose, Čačak’s Gold x
Henderson and Henderson x Kecskemeter Rose.
The apricot cultivars used as breeding parents have
rather complex genotypes and as such affect the continuous
variation of the studied heritable characters (time of
full blooming, time of ripening, size and shape of fruit)
in the apricot progeny.
