Variety traits

Ploidy — Japanese plum

Prunus salicina Lindl.

The Japanese plum is a diploid species with a base chromosome set of 2n = 2x = 16. This value is the species standard, and any deviations usually indicate a hybrid origin of the form.

In the reference 21 varieties crop Japanese plum, where this is mentioned in the description.

The Japanese plum is characterized by a diploid chromosome set, where 2n = 16. This is a key genetic distinction of this species from the European plum, which is a hexaploid. To determine the ploidy level and identify deviations in genetic collections, flow cytometry is the most effective method used.

The diploid status of the crop creates specific breeding barriers that complicate direct hybridization with hexaploid species. When cultivating, it is important to consider that most Japanese plum cultivars are self-incompatible and require the selection of pollinators based on genetic relatedness and S-alleles.
