New promising apricot hybrids in Turkey

12th Symposium on Apricot Culture and Decline -- SEP 10-14, 2001 -- Avignon, FRANCEWOS: 000237601100064Since Turkish apricot varieties are sensitive to Sclerotinia laxa, a hybridization programme was performed to get resistant hybrids with high economical value. 'Boccuccia', 'Ivonne Liverani', 'Nugget' and 'San Castrese' were used as pollinitors for 'Hacihaliloglu'. After artificial inoculation of one year old shoots, resistant types were selected. As a result of the evaluation of fruits characteristics for three years, some apricot hybrids were selected as promising in terms of dried and table apricot production.Int Soc Hort Sci, INRA, Agri Obtent, Conseil Reg Provence Alpes Cotes Azur, Conseil Reg Languedoc Roussillon, Conseil Reg Rhone Alpes, CIHEAM, IAMZ, CIHEAM, IAMB, CEP, CTIFL, SERFEL, RMG Avignon, Coteaux Tricastin, GIE, PROMEGA FranceTUBITAKTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [TARP-2031]This research is supported by TUBITAK (TARP-2031)
