Abstract

In order to determination of elite genotype of cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) in East Azerbaijan province, Iran, current study was conducted in complete factorial randomized design with three replication on 14 local commercially cultivated genotypes in orchards of Kaleibar, East Azerbaijan, Iran in 2014. For this purpose, 16 quantitative, qualitative and biochemical characteristics of fruits was evaluated. Results of analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits at 1 percent probability level, indicating the existence of genetic diversity among studied cultivars. The highest genotypic coefficient of variation was found for the Anthocyanin content (50) and Vitamin C (23.58). According to cluster analysis, 14 genotypes divided into four clusters. Number four genotype with maximum amounts of phenol, antioxidant, TSS, total acidity, fresh weight, length, volume and diameter of fruits, pulp weight, stone weight, length and diameter have been known an elite genotype.
