Abstract
Generative potential and fruit quality of seedlings obtained by open pollination of Meeker yellow clone were investigated in this study.
From over a 100 seedlings, 14 accessions with red fruits were selected on the Radmilovac of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Belgrade.
Among selected seedlings, genotypes II-2-2P, I-7-3 and I-3-2P expressed very high generative potential parameters, like the standard cultivar Meeker. The highest fruit weight and soluble solids content had seedling I-3-2P (3.50 g; 12.37%, respectively), whereas the highest titratable acidity was recorded in seedling II-3-PP (1.03%) and the highest total sugar content in seedling I-6-2 (9.07%). The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among selected genotypes for numerous properties, while LSD test was used for single traits testing.
Cluster analysis showed a considerable diversity in the raspberry seedlings where length of fruiting laterals was a determinant criterion for genotypes clustering.
It distinguished seedlings into two distinct groups; the first one involved nine genotypes and standard cultivar, whereas the second one was consisted of five seedlings.
