ABSTRACT

Twenty-four morphological and pomological traits were characterized in a group of 47 Moroccan sweet cherry genotypes to evaluate their diversity. The fruit weight varied between 3.6 and 7.52 g, considered acceptable for the fresh market. Six genotypes showed fruit weight between 3 and 5 g, making them suitable for specific industrial uses. The statistical analysis revealed high variability among genotypes, although these variables did not allow the classification of the genotypes according to their geographical origin. Genotypes with high physical traits could be planted in modern orchards in association with commercial cultivars or incorporated in sweet cherry breeding programmes.

摘要

在一组47种摩洛哥甜樱桃基因型中，对24种形态和果树性状进行了表征，以评估其多样性。水果重量在3.6到7.52克之间变化，被认为是新鲜市场可接受的。六种基因型显示出的果实重量在3-5克之间，使其适合于特定的工业用途。统计分析表明，基因型之间存在很大的差异，尽管这些变量不允许根据基因来源对基因型进行分类。具有高物理性状的基因型可与商业栽培种一起种植在现代果园中，或纳入甜樱桃育种计划中。
