In sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), flowering date is strongly dependent on the environment conditions and, therefore, is a trait of major interest for adaptation to climate change. Such trait can be influenced by genotype-by-environment interaction (G×E), that refers to differences in the response of genotypes to different environments. If not take...
The introduction of the flat peach nectarine typology in the markets is very recent, and has been determined by the continuous discard of the existing cultivars due to the different physiological and adaptation problems that deteriorated the productivity and fruit quality, making its commercialization non-viable. ‘Mistral 30®’ is a platerine or fla...
The Murcia changes in sweet cherry in recent decades, with especial importance to production areas, are exposed, describing the situation and trends concerning cultivars, rootstocks, training systems and cost of production. The advances made in sweet cherry improvement in recent years are also described, with special reference to the need to evalua...
Spain is one of the main plum producing countries in the world. Particularly noteworthy is the good adaptation of the Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cultivars to Spanish climatic conditions and thus the possibility to grow early ripening cultivars that can be harvested in May and June. However, the Japanese plum crop in Spain has a number o...
The non-melting yellow peach or “pavia” has decreased its production in recent years, but
at the national level it still has an internal market gap for fresh consumption. The breeding
program IMIDA-NOVAMED has developed three varieties of this typology: Levante 20®,
Levante 40® y Levante 45® with very similar characteristics and good organoleptic

El sistema de autoincompatibilidad presente en cerezo (Prunus avium L.) es de tipo gametofítico monofactorial con múltiples alelos. Este sistema está controlado genéticamente por un locus llamado S, que presenta dos genes que determinan el fenotipo del polen (SFB) y del pistilo (S-RNasa). Estos dos factores interaccionan de manera alelo-específica...
El uso de marcadores moleculares como herramienta de apoyo en los programas de mejora genética de plantas no deja de ofrecer nuevos avances durante los últimos años. En este trabajo se presentan varias selecciones del programa de mejora genética de melocotonero del IMIDA, con su caracterización fenotípica y una identificación molecular de estas sel...
During the last decade, the global sweet cherry industry has increased efforts to supply high quality cherries and to extend the cherry season. The ripening period has been extended due to the availability of new late ripening cultivars that can be harvested at the end of the traditional cherry season. On the other hand, sweet cherry growers are ex...
Nowadays, Spain is the second peach producing country and the first exporting country in the world. The flat peach occupies 25% of the total peach area cultivated in Spain. The IMIDA-NOVAMED breeding program has developed three new selections of flat peach, Siroco 30®, Siroco 40® and Siroco 43® that differ in harvest date and they show a very simil...
Gracias a los proyectos llevados a cabo por el IMIDA la Región de Murcia se ha convertido en un gran referente en la mejora genética del género Prunus En el Instituto Murciano de Investigación y Desarrollo Agrario y Alimentario (IMIDA) se están desarrollando en la actualidad programas de mejora genética de melocotonero, ciruelo y cerezo, para inten...
The Spanish changes in sweet cherry in recent decades, with especial importance to production ares, are exposed, describing the situation and trends concerning cultivars, rootstocks, training systems and cost of production. The import-export trade and the cherry consumption are analyzed.
The influence of Adara, Gisela 5, Gisela 6, Mariana 2624, MaxMa 14, Mayor, Pikú 1, Pikú 3, Pikú 4 and Saint Lucie GF 64 rootstocks onto vigour, yield and fruit quality of 'Newstar' cultivar was studied during four years. The experiment was performed in Jumilla (Murcia, Spain), on a heavy and calcareous soil. Significant differences in parameters su...
The aim of this work is the characterisation of seven cultivars of sweet cherry grown at Murcia (Spain) by determining flower bud density, flower buds drop, number of developing flower buds and total number of flowers per node, fruit set and percentage of double fruits from 2004 to 2007. Also some attributes related to fruit quality, such as fruit...
Sweet cherry cultivars have different chilling and heat requirements for breaking rest and flowering. The knowledge of these requirements may be valuable in the selection of the appropriate cultivars for producers and to avoid losses caused by an inadequate cultivar selection in a particular area. Determination of chilling and heat requirements is...
The conditions to store sweet cherry pollen of six cultivars ('Brooks', 'Cristobalina', 'Marvin', 'New Star', 'Ruby' and 'Somerset') for a long period of time were studied. Pollen samples were stored at 4°C or -20°C and were taken at 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, 180, 270, 365 or 540 days of storage for all cultivars (with the exception of 'Somerset' at 30 da...
A comparison between self-rooted trees, micropropagated in vitro, and trees grafted by traditional methods of the three apricot cultivars 'Canino', 'Helena' and 'Lorna' has been carried out in an experiment in the orchard. All 'Helena' and 'Lorna' trees were planted in 2000 whereas 'Canino' trees, self-rooted or grafted, were planted in 2002. In 'H...
