Morphological description and evaluation of some Prunus ursina K.y phenotypes in Syrian coast


Abstract in English

This study was carried out during 2011- 2013 to determine some qualitative and quantitative features of some distribution trees of Prunus ursina in different regions of Syrian coast.7 natural distribution sites were determined and 43 trees were determined as samples. 22 features of different plant portions were studied using biological measurements(leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds). Statistical analysis of investigated phenotypes showed that trees were distributed in 5 groups (A, B, C, D, E) each one considered phenotype. The results showed existence of one phenotype in several sites (C, D, E) while (A and B) phenotypes were distributed in one site, while (A) phenotype was located in one tree only in " Nabeen" site whereas (B) phenotype was located on only half investigated trees in "Btmaze" site, while the other half distributed in (D) phenotype.
