This study was conducted in 2013 in Kassab and Alraboa locations that is located in
the province of Latakia, where carried out with the aim of rounds field inventory and
characterization of types of local apples deployed in this locations. Was to d
etermine
which of five local types for apples are: Brobory and Sokary and Cherkhoshy and Malaky
and JbakJian, and the outcome of the analysis of variance at the level / 5% / virtual studied
for recipes of (17) characters for the leaves, blossoms, fruit and seed. These types showed
clear differences formality between each other, in addition to the significant differences in
terms of the content of total sugar, acidity, total soluble solids and the percentage of
vitamin C, by calculating the degree of similarity between these types have found a higher
degree of similarity was between the types Cherkhoshy and Jbak Jian(41.17)% , and the
least was between Malaky and Sokary and between Sokary and Jbak Jian(5.88)% .
Morphological Characterization Has Been Achieved For (10) Phenotype Wild
Apple(Malus trilobata (Lab) ) In JABLEH mountains During The Period (2013-2014) In
Five Area (Pichraghe, Helbako, Almonaizlah, Raas al chaara, Aldalia),In Height Between
(780
-1250) m On See Standard, Morphological Characterization Included The
Characteristics Of The Tree, Stem, Shoots, Leaves, Flowers, Fruit And Seed. The Cluster
Analysis For (12) Characteristics Were Divided Into Two Groups Variation Ratio Even (57
%) , The First Group Included Four Types(Two Types Of Rass al chaara(R1, R2), One
Type Of Pichraghe(P1) And One Type Of Almonaizlah(M2) ), Variation Ratio Was The
Least(29.4%) Between (P1) And (R1), The Second Group Included Six Types (Tow
Types Of Pichraghe (P2, P3), Two Types Of Helbako, One Type Of Almonaizlah(M1)
And One Type Of Aldalia (D1).The Second Group Included Tow Sup Group Variation
Ratio Even (52%),The First(P2, P3), And The Second (H1, H2, M1, D1). Variation Ratio
Was The Least(23%) Between (H1) And (H2).
The aimsof this research were to morphologically characterize 27 local genotypes of
tulip,to evaluate the genetic variability between them using 32 morphological traits, and to
determine their chromosomal number.
The results allowed the distinctio
n between the studied genotypes based on the
morphological characterization of all vegetative,floral andbulb traits. Results confirmed
that the main limiting factor for distribution over the screened regionwas the high above
sea level.All genotypes were divided into two main groups, the firstone included genotypes
located at 400 - 850 m of altitude, and the second one located between 950 -1450 m.
The microscopic analysis results showed that all the studied genotypes were diploid
(2n=2x=24 chromosomes).
Depending on the results of the morphological characterization and the chromosomal
number of local genotypes studied, it can be considered the closest to the specie
Tulipaagenensis D.C.
A study was conducted on one type of Syrian pears ‘Pyrus syriaca. Boiss’ which is
widespread in Al-Qardahah area/Lattakia during 2012-2013. 9 superficial models were
studied, these are scattered in different locations (Ein Al Aaros , Derhana, and B
sin).
The results revealed the existence of differences in some of the characteristics, out of
13 morphological studied characteristics. A cluster analysis showed a division in the
studied models. Two main groups can be distinguished: the first group included the
following models (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6), whereas the second group included the
following models (P7, P8, P9). These two main groups are further divided into 4 subgroups
which can be considered independent morphological Models.
The first main group contains the first and second subgroups with a similarity value
0.62. The first subgroup contains P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and it is symbolized as A; while the
second subgroup contains P6 and it is symbolized as B.
The second main group contains the first and second subgroups with a similarity
value 0.77. The first subgroup contains P7, P9 and it is symbolized as C; whereas the
second subgroup contains P8 symbolized as D.
The research indicates that there is a difference in the seed germination percentage of
the studied models. The seeds and embryos of P9 gave the highest germination percentage,
while the seeds and embryos of P6 gave the fastest germination percentage.
Twenty apple varieties were evaluated in the germ plasm of the Agricultural
Scientific Research Center in Swaida for Morphological traits, bud honological
stages, days after full bloom, storability which were ranged between 2.5 – 8
months, and bes
t susceptibility (e.g. wooly aphid and powdery mildew), all
studied varieties showed low susceptibility to wooly aphid, while Jersy Mac
revealed high susceptibility to powdery mildew compared with the other
varieties. The yield of all varieties was studied, so, they divided into: high yield
varieties such Stark Earliest, Royal Gala and Golden 972; Good yield varieties
"Golden Delicious, Starking Delicious, and Granny Smith etc."; and moderate
yield varieties" Red Spur Delicious and Rome Beauty". Chemical analysis
(Total soluble solids and total sugars) were achieved for all studied apple
varieties. Apple Varieties were divided into five groups depending on Days
After Full Bloom (DAFB). The present investigation indicted the high
quantitative and qualitative traits of studied varieties which candidate for
credence and distribute them in suitable environmental areas in Syria.
This research was conducted during the period of 2014 - 2015 in six locations
ranging from a height of between (0-500 m) in Syria, Tartous Governate in order to survey
and evaluate some mulberry types belong to (Morus alba and Morus nigra). 33 type
s (22
of white mulberry and 11 of black mulberry) were determined for the purpose of
morphological and phenological characterization and for the determination of the degree of
morphological relationship between those types in addition to setting their own taxonomic
keys. Morphological analysis was done based on 14 morphology characteristics (leaves,
catkins, fruits) in addition to a cluster analysis for all types belongs to white and black
species and for each species alone.
The morphological tree for all types showed two main groups with a contrast ratio of
(48%), the first group included three types belong to black mulberry, and the second group
included 30 types belong to both species with a contrast ratio of (0-38%), while the
morphological tree for the black species types showed a contrast ratio of (47%) and (33%)
for the white specie types.
The degree of morphological similarity is variable between the studied types
regardless of fruits color, and the percentage of contrast among the black mulberry types is
higher than white mulberry types.
The study was conducted in four sites belonging to the Sheikh Badr district in Tartous
province. Ten different types were identified according to international standards. During
the 2016 and 2017 growth seasons, readings were recorded for phenotypi
c parameters as
well as physical and chemical analysis of fruit clusters. The studied types differed in many
characteristics. The results of the cluster analysis showed the distribution of the studied
types in two groups with a variance of 93%. The mean weight of the cluster varied
between the medium (349 g) and the large (1140.45 g). The ratio of total dissolved solids
(TSS) between the low (12.75%) and high (18.82%). the acidity between the very low
(3.53 g/l) and medium (6.38 g/l).
