Productivity characteristics of F1 ornamental progenies between Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier. and Potentilla nepalensis Hook

Abstract

The current study presents the results of the evaluation of the productivity characteristics of pink-flowered F1 progenies obtained as a result of hybridization between Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier. and Potentilla nepalensis Hook. Based on the selection results, a hybrid fund of four promising pink-flowered strawberries forms with increased winter hardiness was created. The samples possess stable fruit crop, form plentiful flower stalks, form rather large fruits with good taste, and are appropriate for further inclusion in breeding programs in order to obtain a culture of decorative and fruit purposes in the conditions of the Siberian region.
