Noteworthy specific germplasm of wild apricot (Prunus sibirica) in Chaoyang, Liaoning
Abstract: We surveyed apricot germplasm resources in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, and identified 11 specific germplasms, including 3 kernel-use germplasms, 4 landscaping germplasms, and 4 germplasms pending further identification. These new germplasms not only enrich the apricot germplasm resources of Liaoning Province, but also lay a material foundation for breeding new cultivars. Keywords: apricot germplasm, kernel use, landscaping. Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province is one of the main apricot production areas in China, with a long history of apricot cultivation. In the past, local wild apricots were mostly propagated by seed, and the genetic differences of wild apricot at the three levels of individual, stand and provenance were fully differentiated and accumulated.
