Productivity of Prunus davidiana × Prunus persica hybrids

hybrids between Prunus davidiana and Prunus persica

The productivity of these hybrids is considered exclusively as their ability to influence the yield of grafted peach and nectarine cultivars when used as rootstocks.

In the reference 5 varieties crop hybrids between Prunus davidiana and Prunus persica, where this is mentioned in the description.

As an independent fruit crop, these hybrids are not evaluated by fruit yield metrics, as their fruits are genetically inherited from the wild species and lack consumer quality. The primary goal of their use in breeding is to transfer resistance to abiotic stresses and pathogens, such as Plum pox virus, to commercial cultivars.

The agronomic productivity of these hybrids as rootstocks is measured indirectly through their effect on the scion, expressed as crop mass per tree or yield per unit area. Effective rootstocks derived from these hybrids are capable of inducing high productivity in grafted plants, increasing fruit size, and accelerating the onset of bearing in trees.
