The studies conducted in the years 2004–2006 in a production orchard in the habitat conditions of the Sandomierska Upland showed that the trees budded on the seedlings of wild cherry grew more strongly than on Colt rootstock. No significant differences were observed between the rootstocks as for the trunk thickness and the crown size of young trees planted in 2001. In the group of trees planted in 1996, which were in the period of full fruiting, the crowns of trees budded on wild cherry were significantly bigger than on Colt rootstock. No significant differences were found out in the yielding of trees on wild cherry and Colt rootstock. Considerable differences in the yielding between the studied years in the group of young trees with systematic increasion was effected by increase of crown. ‘Kordia’ cv. is a valuable cultivar for Sandomierska Upland. It begins late the fruiting period (the first commercial yield in the fifth year after planting); however, it gives attractive fruits and high productivity of trees.
The molecular characteristics of partly purified sucrose synthase (NDP-glucose: D-fructose 2-α-D-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.13), extracted from the bird cherry (Prunus padus L.) leaves was elucidated. The sucrose synthase was successfully purified by using a four-step protocol including ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis, gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and ion-exchange chromatography with the use of DEAE-cellulose. The analysed enzyme occurred in two isoforms (SuSyI and SuSyII). The relative molecular weight of native isoenzymes was estimated to be 200 and 180 kDa, respectively. Isoform SuSyI contained two different subunits of 57.5 and 52.8 kDa, whereas the structure of SuSyII was consisted of identical 63 kDa subunits. Experimental data indicated that the structure of both SuSy isoforms was composed of three subunits
The subjects of this study were 8-year-old sweet cherry trees of the cultivar 'Kor­dia' grafted on the 'Colt' rootstock. The trees had been trained as spindles for four years after planting. In the fifth year, four systems of pruning were introduced: 1) the spindle form - i.e. the pruning system remained unchanged, 2) Zahn's method of pruning, 3) one-year-old shoots were cut back leaving approximately 10 buds, 4) no pruning at all - control trees. An assessment of the effects of these training systems was carried out in the third and fourth year of the study. The best results were ob­tained with the trees formed in the shape of a spindle and the trees pruned according to Zahn's recommendations. Cutting back long one-year-old shoots caused a signifi­cant decrease in the total yield and a small increase in the average fruit weight. The smallest values of canopy volume were obtained in the combination where long shoots had been shortened, while the largest canopies were found in the control com­bination. Canopy volumes of the trees shaped as spindles and of those pruned using Zahn's method were similar.
A study was carried out during 2007 in the Maule Region of Chile to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of manual thinning at three intensities (15%, 30% and 50%) on fruit yield and quality (fruit size, weight, firmness and soluble solids content) of sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) 'Lapins'. The study evaluated manual removal of entire fruiting spurs (extinction training), individual fruit buds on the spur, individual blossoms on the spur and individual fruits on the spur. Fruit size distribution was positively affected by the thinning treatments and in most cases yield was not affected by these treatments. Fruit which was not of fresh market quality (<21 mm) was reduced by the thinning. The control had 82% non market quality fruit. A 50% removal treatment reduced small fruit to very low levels and the yield of premium fruit (diameter > 28 mm) was also promoted. Manual thinning arises as a practical approach for improving fruit size distribution.
An inventory of wild cherry trees in the Wielkopolski National Park was made during 2007-2008. Totally, 1098 specimens of the species, in 86 forest compartments were inventoried. There were 28 monumental trees among them; the biggest one of 30 m height and 197 cm of circumference. The habitat conditions of Prunus avium occurrence on its natural sites of the Wielkopolski National Park show a wide range. Wild cherry grows here on soils representing eight types – most often on lessivè and rusty soils. In the typology of forest habitats, the species, occurs most often on habitats of a fresh deciduous forest sites, a fresh mixed deciduous forest sites and a fresh oak-pine forest sites. Also the community context of its sites shows a wide range. Wild cherry trees were recorded in eight forest plant communities – the most frequent in phytocoenoses of oak-hornbeam forests Galio sylvatici-Carpinetum, acidophilous oak forests Calamagrostio arundinaceae-Quercetum and continental pine-oak forests Querco roboris-Pinetum.
Host specialization plays a central role in physiological diversification of aphids and plant-insect co-evolution. Different morphs of the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.) are specialized and locally adapted to both primary and secondary hosts. The abundance of bird cherry-oat aphid population was estimated using the technique of direct counting of aphid individuals infesting 50 randomly selected, fully expanded 1-year side shoots of bird cherry (approx. 40 cm long) grown in the Municipal Park „Aleksanria” in Siedlce (central-eastern Poland). Entomological observations were conducted during three consecutive vegetation seasons: 2001–2003. The impact of R. padi feeding on composition of free amino acids within leaves of its primary host (the bird cherry, Prunus padus L.), infested and uninfested by aphids were studied. Eight essential amino acids (Val, Thr, Phe, Ileu, Leu, Met, His and Lys) and seven non-essential amino acids (Asp, Glu, Pro, Ser, Ala, Gly and Tyr) were identified in the bird cherry-oat leaves with the use of highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation. There were quantitative differences in free amino acids content between the tested bird cherry-oat leaves (infested and uninfested by aphids). Levels of the free amino acids were decreased in leaves attacked by R. padi, and detailed analyses revealed about 20% decline in the content of studied components during maximal aphid abundance in comparison with non-infested leaves. Additionally, the feeding behavior of the bird cherry-oat aphid seasonal morphs (fundatrix, fundatrigeniae, alatae) on the primary host was investigated. Using the electrical penetration graph (EPG) we showed differences in feeding behavior of bird cherry-oat aphid morphs on primary host. The total probing time was greatest for fundatrigeniae among all studied morphs. These individuals spent more time during phloem sap ingestion then others. Adults of alatae were not active in the phloem sap ingestion on the bird cherry. Among the tested morphs xylem sap ingestion activity was greatest for alatae. It is hypothesized that rejection of primary host and subsequent the bird cherry-oat aphid migration onto secondary hosts may be stimulated by the decline in levels of free amino acids within primary host leaves caused by long-term R. padi feeding. Comparative analyses of the aphid probing behavior additionally proved that P. padus leaves possessed high nutritive value of food for non-winged morphs (early stages of aphid infestation), while not sufficient for winged alatae (terminal phase of infestation).
The activity of beta-cyanoalanine synthase and rhodanese within the tissues of the three generations of the bird cherry-oat aphid that are specialized to feed on the cyanogenic spring foliage of bird cherry was assessed. The order of beta-cyanoalanine synthase activity in the three aphid generations was: generation 1> generation 2> generation 3; whereas that of rhodanese was: generation 3> generation 1>generation 2. The possible role of the bird cherry – oat aphid enzymes in metabolizing dietary cyanide is discussed.
