| Abstract:
The apricot is cultivated in South-, South-Eurasia, including Hungary in large arable field. The best specified descriptions of the apricot have been given by Kostina (1936), Lösshing-Passacker (1954), Nyujtó and Tomcsányi (1959), Brózik (1960) and from a morphologic viewpoint by Szujkó-Lacza (1982). The fruit and nectariferous area in the flower of apricot are the most important parts from economic production aspects. The correlation between flower index and fertilization capacity in different apricot varieties was established by Surányi (1971, 1973, 1977). Some anatomical studies on the reproductive organs were published at the beginning of this century (Péchoutre 1902, Hillman 1910, Ruechle, 1924). Vaughan (1960) reported on the structure of oilseeds and apricots; Sterling (1964) studied the carpels of Prunus species; Kaniewsky (1963) the endocarp of stone fruits: Bernstein (1966) concentrated only on the seed-coat of some Prunus species. The micro- and macrosporogenesis in different convarieties of P. armeniaca were studied by Minasjan (1952, of. Radionenko 1963b), Nyujtó and Banainé (1957), Malakova (1963, cf. Radionenko, 1963a,b; Iliev, 1963), Berezenko (1966), Baciu (1970, 1971, 1972, 1977), Samushia (1971) and Spuljonij (1973). Flowering nectaries were described by Péter (1975), morphological composition of the nectariferous area of Prunus armeniaca by Szujkó-Lacza (1982). Floral cup abscission process was reported by robbins and Ramaley (1933), Lott and Simons (1964, 1968) in different cv. of apricot. | |
