Abstract:
An apricot and peach breeding program
has been started in the south-eastern Po Valley
(Italy), funded by both public and private funds, growers
organizations among them. The program is aimed
at the introduction of new cultivars adapted to the climatic
conditions of the region, other than disease
resistance and outstanding fruit quality traits. The projects
is operating at three levels. The first one is the
availability of a large peach collection, including both
commercial cultivars and old accessions to be
employed as parents or for comparative evaluation of
the breeding stock. The second level is the breeding
operation to obtain the progenies to be grown in the
field. The third level is the setting of the selection criteria
to screen the progenies in search of superior
phenotypes. To this aim, ideotypes have been
designed for tree growth, fruit type (size, shape,
blush, texture) and chemical contents (total soluble
solids and acidity, in particular). Reference cultivars
have also been listed for comparative evaluation in
the final field tests.
