| Summary: | Twenty five local plum accessions originating from national plum collection located at RIFG Pitesti were studied to assess fruit quality traits for selecting some potential genitors to be used in the breeding programs. Studies show that some local plum varieties can be used in breeding work to improve fruit quality, such as: ‘Galbene mari aurii’, ‘Mirabele mari locale’ and ‘Uriase de Sibiu’ for fruit size, ‘Grase’ and ‘Jambon’ for high content of soluble dry weight, ‘Vanat de vara’, ‘Rosior timpuriu’ and ‘Uriase de Sibiu’ for firmness, and many genotypes for tolerance to Plum Pox Virus. |
