| Title : | MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FRUITS OF SELECTED TYPES OF WILD APPLES (MALUS SILVESTRIS L.) IN THE AREA OF BIJELO POLJE |
| Abstract : | Wild fruits represent an important natural resource and inexhaustible geo-fund of extremely important species that have not been sufficiently explored. The wild apple is the most important generative rootstock in the world. The aim of this paper is to describe morphological characteristics of fruits of selected types of wild apple in the area of Bijelo Polje, which in addition to the general biological importance also have practical value from the aspect of generative rootstock production. Type 9 has the least mass of fruits (8.95 g), then type 5 (11.34 g), type 8 (12.75 g) and type 3 (12.81 g). From the aspect of reserve material necessary for germination, respectively of seed mass, the best characteristics are possessed by the type 8 (3.832g) and the type 6 (3.668g). |
