THE EPIDERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FRUIT SKIN OF SOME SWEET CHERRY CULTIVARS IN RELATION TO FRUIT CRACKING LEYLA DEMIRSOY AND HUSNU DEMIRSOY
Abstract:
The epidermal characteristics of fruit skin of 8 sweet cherry cultivars
were determined in terms of susceptibility to cracking. The cultivars
0900 Ziraat and Bella di Pistoia having the thickest cuticle, had the
lowest cracking index. There was a negative correlation between the
cuticle thickness and fruit cracking. There were no correlations relationship
between fruit cracking and thickness of epidermis, thickness of subepidermis
and number of subepidermal cell layers. Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Ondokuz Mayis University, 55139 Kurupelit-Samsun, Turkey. |
