| Summary: | Native species of forest fruit trees represent an important component of
biodiversity, but are often threatened by the effects of various biotic and
abiotic factors. In the Landscape of outstanding features “Kosmaj”, the
following forest fruit trees were recorded: wild cherry, wild pear, wild
service tree and service tree, which are among the endangered or vulnerable
species in this area. In order to assess the genetic potential of wild pear
mother trees from the Kosmaj area, a generative progeny test was established
in the nursery of the Faculty of Forestry. The variability of morphological
characteristics of one-year-old seedlings from 14 half-sib lines was
analyzed, the survival of seedlings was recorded, and their height and root
collar diameter were measured. The mother trees DK4, DK22 and DK23 stood out
as potentially superior due to the percentage of survival and the high
values for height and root collar diameter of the seedlings of the half-sib
lines. The genetic potential of these mother trees and their half-sib lines
should be tested in the coming years, with regard to resistance to biotic
and abiotic factors, in nursery progeny test and field trials. |
