Self-incompatibility is common in apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars of Central Asian and Irano-Caucasian ecogeographical groups, while cultivars of European group are traditionally considered as self-compatible. However, the number of known self-incompatible cultivars of the European group has increased rapidly over the last two decades. This can be explained by using Asian or North American self-incompatible cultivars in breeding programs that aim to create new genotypes with the traits including: Plum Pox Virus resistance, frost tolerance, increase of the sugar content or extending the harvest time. In this work self-(in)compatibility was tested in 38 apricot cultivars. Pollentube growth in pistils pollinated in laboratory was analysed using fluorescence microscopy. Cultivars were considered self-compatible if at least one pollen tube reached the ovary in the majority of pistils. In self-incompatible cultivars growth of pollen tubes in the style of pistil stopped along with formation of characteristic swellings. Of the examined cultivars, 17 were self-compatible, and 21 were self-incompatible.

Niesamopłonność jest powszechna u odmian moreli (Prunus armeniaca L.) w środkowo-azjatyckich i irańsko-kaukaskich grupach eko-geograficznych, natomiast odmiany grupy europejskiej są tradycyjnie uważane za samopłonne. Jednak liczba znanych samopłonnych odmian grupy europejskiej gwałtownie wzrosła podczas ostatnich dwóch dziesięcioleci. Można to wyjaśnić, używając azjatyckich i północno-amerykańskich samopłonnych odmian w programach hodowlanych, które mają na celu stworzenie nowych genotypów o cechach obejmujących odporność na Plum Pox Virus, tolerancję na mróz, wyższą zawartość cukru czy przedłużony okres zbiorów. W niniejszej pracy testowano samo(nie)płonność u 38 odmian moreli. Przy użyciu mikroskopu fluorescencyjnego przeanalizowano wzrost łagiewki pyłkowej na słupkach zapylonych w laboratorium. Odmiany uważano za samopłonne, jeśli przynajmniej jedna łagiewka pyłkowa docierała do zalążni na większości słupków. U odmian niesamopłonnych wzrost łagiewki pyłkowej na szyjce słupka zatrzymał się wraz z wytworzeniem się charakterystycznych zgrubień. Spośród badanych odmian, 17 było samopłonne, natomiast 21 odmian było niesamopłonnych.

The paper describes impacts of the main ecological factors on the development of horse fly populations in the alluvial floodplains of the Danube River in the Pannonian plain. The study has been conducted from 2004–2009 in the four, water dependent, succession stages of alluvial forest communities of Kopacki rit wetlands. In total more than 23 000 adult horse flies of 22 species were collected by canopy traps that were placed annually during the flight season from May–September. The most abundant species during the study period were: Tabanus bromius with 47%, T. sudeticus with 17% and Haematopota pluvialis with 11%, respectively. Correlation analysis has confirmed the influence of the deviations from long-term average values in the temperature, precipitation and flood duration on the numbers of adult horse flies during the following year. A significant positive correlation has been found between spring and autumn precipitation and rainy seasons yielded more horse fly individuals the following year. A significant negative correlation has been found between the higher temperatures during summer, autumn and spring and the number of adults in the following year. The impact of the seasonal divergence from long-term average values in temperature, precipitation and flood on different species was not straightforward and different species have shown diverse correlation responses, either positive or negative.

Phenological traits, yield, and fruit characteristics of 14 plum cultivars of late maturation period were studied in the region of Belgrade in the five-year period (2013–2017). The control cultivar for comparison was ‘Stanley’. The average time of flowering was in the first half of April, and of fruit maturation in the second half of August and the beginning of September. Yield per tree was lowest in the cultivar ‘Pozna Plava’ (10.2 kg) and highest in the cultivar ‘Topking’ (23.6 kg). Compared to the control, significantly lower yield was achieved in three cultivars: ‘Pozna Plava’, ‘Vengerka Pozdnyaya’, and ‘Narach’. Fruit weight ranged from 26.1 g in the cultivar ‘Elena’ to 57.0 g in the cultivar ‘Empress’. Compared to the control, it was significantly higher in three cultivars (‘Empress’, ‘Vengerka Pozdnyaya’, and ‘Tophit’). All studied cultivars had high soluble solids content, ranging from 17.1% to 21.6%. The best rated cultivar for fruit appearance was ‘Empress’, while cultivars ‘Nada’ and ‘Pozna Plava’ were best scored for taste.

This paper presents the results of a three-year research (2010–2012) of unusual growth of pollen tubes in the ovary in eight cultivars of quince in two pollination variants (self-pollination and open-pollination). Unusual behavior of pollen tubes growth could be seen in all parts of the ovary, and it was most often manifested by larger or smaller branching and the formation of bundle in the ovary, without signs of further penetration of pollen tubes to the ovule. In addition, in a small number of cases, branching of the pollen tubes, as well as bypassing micropyle and forming swellings at the tips of the pollen tube was noticed. There were also the cases where the pollen tube filled embryo sac forming a bundle in it. The occurrence of unusual growth of pollen tubes in the quince ovary was primarily dependent on the genotype and pollination type. This phenomenon was more expressed in open-pollination than in self-pollination variant in all examined cultivars. Leskovacka cultivar was characterized by the highest percentage of unusual growth of pollen tubes in both variants of pollination, as follows: 13.23% (self-pollination) and 15.89% (open-pollination).
