| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted to investigate the vegetative and fruit characteristics of grape hybrid produced by crossing between Thompson seedless and Alabbasi and compare it with its parents. This study was conducted at the College of Agriculture , University of Baghdad during the seasons of 2008 and 2009. Results revealed that the hybrid tended to look like Alabbasi in date of fruit maturity but it was earlier that Thompson seedless in ripeness , which was ranged 17 days in first season and 19 days in the second season. The hybrid was similar to Thompson seedless in vegetative and fruit characteristics. Thompson seedless and hybrid were superior in leaf area in comparison with Alabbasi , which were 93.71 and 96.11 cm2 (Thompson seedless), 93.57 and 95.21cm2 (hybrid) and 86.72 and 88.21 cm2(Alabbasi)for both seasons, respectively. Higher cluster length was observed in Thompson seedless (19.62 and 20.43 cm) and hybrid (18.92 and 20.11cm) as compared with Alabbasi (16.72 and 17.41cm) for both seasons, respectively. Alabbasi was superior in cluster weight (370.10 and 375.21 g) in comparison with Thompson seedless (290.11 and 295.65 g) and hybrid (259.68 and 285.3 g) for 2008 and 2009 seasons, respectively. Alabbasi exhibited the greater average of 100 berries (382.21 and 375.63 g) as compared with Thompson seedless (145.44 and 153.93 g) and hybrid (137.68 and 150.23 g) for both seasons, respectively. The differences among parents and crossbred in quality characteristics lacked significance. In conclusion , the hybrid produced from crossing between Thompson seedless and Alabbasi was characterized by good quality characteristics and early maturity. The results of the second season confirmed this fact . It was worthy to mention that a hybrid will remain for always without any genetic chang for it is propagated vegetatively. | ||
