OBSERVATIONS ON SOME ANATOMICAL ELEMENTS OF ANNUAL BRANCHES, IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SPECIES OF THE GENUS PRUNUS

Abstract

Genus Prunus contains many species, but only a few of them have contributed at the current varieties under cropping. Observations on some anatomical elements at the annual branches of some varieties of the species Prunus domestica, Prunus armeniaca and Prunus persica plays an important role in understanding and using the useful results from scientific and practical point of view, in agricultural research. Usefulness of the results obtained intervenes in breeding programs in order to create new interspecific genitors with high biological value.
