In this chapter, flower biology and fruit set in cherry, sweet (Prunus avium) and sour (Prunus
avium), are examined, paying attention to the critical steps that result in failures in fruit set …

In this study, 186 local sweet cherry accessions from 12 Italian regions, plus eight reference
accessions, were analysed for the first time, using 13 microsatellite markers. Moreover, their …

Fruit processing by-products having limited utilization and no commercial value are
generated in high amounts. However, they are rich in phytochemicals with high nutritional …

Sweet cherry is a traditional fruit crop in Spain. The introduction of modern cultivars is
replacing the local varieties and genetic diversity is lost. To conserve this plant material …

The pollination of self-incompatible diploid sweet cherry is determined by the S-locus
alleles. We resolved the S-alleles of 50 sweet cherry cultivars grown in Estonia and …

Breeding for higher levels of health-promoting components are among the priorities for
many fruit crops. Such an approach requires breeding material displaying great variations in …

The sweet cherry plant (Prunus avium L.) is primarily self-incompatible, with so-called S-
alleles responsible for the inability of flowers to be pollinated not only by their own pollen …

Prunus avium is primarily cultivated for its fruit, sweet cherries. However, it is also used to
produce high‐quality timber. In a P. avium seed orchard, gametophytic self‐incompatibility is …
