Yield of Prunus davidiana × Prunus persica hybrids

hybrids between Prunus davidiana and Prunus persica

For P. davidiana and P. persica hybrids, fruit yield is not a target trait, as the plants are used as rootstocks for peach or as sources of resistance genes.

In the reference 9 varieties crop hybrids between Prunus davidiana and Prunus persica, where this is mentioned in the description.

Fruits of first-generation hybrids are characterized by low consumer qualities, such as small size, high pit-to-flesh ratio, and bitter taste, making them unsuitable for commercial commodity production. Therefore, in breeding practice, breeders focus on eliminating these traits rather than increasing the productivity of the hybrids themselves.

In an agronomic context, these hybrids are used primarily as rootstocks. In this case, yield is interpreted as an indicator of the productivity of peach or nectarine cultivars grafted onto them. Hybrid rootstocks, such as Barrier 1 or Cadaman, are capable of influencing tree vigor, average fruit size, and scion ripening times, ensuring high efficiency in cultivating varietal crops.
