Abstract | ||||
The two tested apricot cultivars (Amal and Canino) which grown under Giza conditions were compared, for their tree growth, fruiting, yield as well as fruit quality and protein profile. Results showed that the chilling requirements for Canino trees are higher than there for Amal apricot cultivar. The shoot length and leaf area were greater for Amal trees than Canino. In both cultivars the majority of the fruits were on one year old shoots. The fruit weight and size were greater for Canino than Amal. Consequently, the yield in killograms per tree was higher for Canino than Amal. The other fruit characters were highly similar. The protein profile indicated a close genetic relationship between the two caltivars. The total number of bands for each cultivar is eleven, eight of them are the same for the two cultivars. | ||||
