A REVIEW OF THE CHERRY BREEDING PROGRAM IN SWEDEN |
| Author: | V. Trajkovski |
| Abstract:
The general aim of the cherry breeding program is the production of compact or dwarf self-rooted varieties. New variety introductions of sweet and sour cherries must possess inherent dwarfing and precocity, be hardy, have a good root system, be amenable to propagation and produce marketable quality fruit. Resistance to bacterial canker (Pseudomonas spp.), brown rot (Monilia laxa), and rain-induced fruit cracking are also considered. | |
