| Abstract:
The genetic studies of some biochemical characteristics were started in the Research Station Baneasa Bucharest in 1984 with 2,250 apricot progeny resulted from 67 hybrid combinations and 35 genitors, in a controlled experimental field. The heredity of the components, namely transgressive type, of dry substance, sugar(28,4 %), vitamin C(26,53mg/100g)has helped in exceeding the quality levels of the genitors: Excelsior, Goldrich, Comandor, Don Gaetano, Early Orange, Mektep, Litoral, 77.3.52 BV. The positive in-line phenotype correlation between the content in dry substance and overall sugar and the positive off-line correlation between the content in dry substance. | |
