Morphological variation among 78 local races of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) in the Nordic Gene Bank’s Prunus clone archive in Pälkäne in Southwestern Finland was examined. Each tree was described using 42 characteristics. On the basis of fruit characteristics, 32 samples were classified as morellos, 40 samples as amarelles, and 5 samples distinct from the other amarelles are proposed to be called Rymättylä-type cherries. One sample was found to be Prunus avium. Amarelle type cherries proved to be more self compatible than morello type cherries. In order to find hardy sour cherry cultivars with fruits of good flavour and fit for cultivation in Nordic conditions, the most promising local races from each group were selected for a comparative trial. Additionally, some local races were selected for further use in plant breeding. In 1994-1996, an increasing amount of severe bacterial canker symptoms was observed in the clone achive.

Prunus Avium L

Extracts from young leaves of nine sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) and eight sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) varieties, located in the germplasm collection of the 'Direção Regional de Agricultura da Beira Interior' (Fundão, Portugal), were analysed for five isozyme systems in order to characterise these varieties and detect problems of synonymies and homonymies that frequently present. The sweet and sour cherry varieties analyzed showed low isoenzymatic polymorphism, being PGM and PGI the systems with the highest discrimination power. These systems presented seven and five different zymogrames, respectively. IDH showed four patterns. SKDH and 6-PGD grouped the varieties only into two patterns. The evident and discriminant restrictions of this type of analysis had got results that have only been a complement for agronomical and morphological characterization.

Cherries are known as health friendly fruits due to their abundant phytochemical compositions. This study was conducted to determine phytochemical and pomological fruit properties of different cherry species including mahaleb (Prunus mahaleb L.), wild sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), wild sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.), two sweet cherries (‘Napoleon’ and ‘Starks Gold’) and one sour cherry (‘Kütahya’) cultivars. For this aim, together with various pomological traits, total phenolics and anthocyanin contents, antioxidant capacity, organic acids, sugars, were analyzed in fruits of relevant genotypes. Results of all examined traits significantly varied between genotypes. Mahaleb showed the highest TSS (30.17%), fructose (8.71 μg/g) and glucose (20.74 μg/g) contents. Wild sour cherry gave the highest antioxidant capacity (13.25 mmol TE/kg total weight), anthocyanin (351.0 mg Pg-3-glk/kg total weight), citric acid (0.56 μg/g) and malic acid (2.96 μg/g) contents. As a rootstock, mahaleb was found to be superior in some of the traits when compared to wild sweet cherry. Significant correlations were observed between various traits. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) revealed different relationships among the traits and evaluated genotypes.

Knowledge of the level of cold stress resistance and how this resistance is inherited in sour cherry is essential to cultivar development and future germplasm collection. Twig and flower bud samples of two sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.), 12 sour cherries (Prunus cerasus L.), and one ground (Prunus fruticosa Pall.) were collected once a month from Aug. 1990 to Mar. 1991, preconditioned, and subjected to freeze tests and differential thermal analysis. LTEs were detected in all stems of P. cerasus investigated and were strongly correlated to xylem ITs in December to March. LTEs were strongly correlated to phloem-cambium ITs in November. Xylem ITs were the selected method for evaluating sour cherry cold resistance in December to March. Phloem-cambium ITs were the selected method for November. The degree of hardiness of the phloem-cambium in late fall and early spring is a factor determining P. cerasus germplasm geographic distribution and commercial production. The principal component (PC) analyses, of the phloem-cambium and cortical tissues, depict gradations between minimum survival temperatures of the two presumed progenitor species of sour cherry, sweet cherry and ground cherry suggesting that cold is a major selective force, contributing to sour cherry population variation.
