AB  - Pollination and temperature are predominant factors affecting the progamic phase of sexual plant reproduction. In light of climate change and the emergence of increasing temperatures, new knowledge is necessary to encourage fruit breeding programmes to develop cultivars adapted to these changes, as well as to find the best incompatibility relationships with the aim of achieving high fruit quality and yield. This research was conducted to reveal the effect of pollination treatments and temperature on the progamic phase and fruit set in three European plum (Prunus domestica L.) cultivars (‘Jojo’, ‘Hanita’ and ‘Katinka’) resistant/tolerant to Sharka virus using fluorescent microscopy. Reproductive parameters (flowering overlapping, pollen germination, number of pollen tubes in the upper part of the style and locule of the ovary, dynamics of pollen tubes growth and initial and final fruit set) were investigated in vivo under different pollination treatments (cross, open and self-pollination). The influence of different temperature regimes (20 °C, 23 °C and 26 °C) on the progamic phase was also observed under cross and self-pollination. The pollination treatments significantly influenced the number of pollen tubes in the style and ovary, as well as dynamics of pollen tubes in different regions of pistil. Pollen tubes showed better growth in different crossing combinations compared to open and self-pollination. Higher temperatures accelerated pollen tube growth and reduced the time they need to reach ovules. Generally, ‘Jojo’ appeared to be the best pollenizer among the examined cultivars, while ‘Katinka’ exhibited the best response of pollen tube growth to various temperature regimes. The differences observed between growth of the pollen tubes in each genotype-temperature combination revealed that certain crossing combinations were better adapted to higher temperatures so this can be taken into account as one of the adjustments to climate change. The ability of cultivars to respond to high temperatures in the progamic phase can also be helpful for breeding programs in developing new cultivars better adapted to different temperature conditions.

AB  - Compatibility and synchrony between specialized tissues of the pistil, female gametophytes and male gametophytes, are necessary for successful pollination, fertilization, and fruit set in angiosperms. The aim of the present work was to study the development and viability of embryo sacs, as well as fertilization success, in relation to the fruit set of the cultivars ‘Mallard’, ‘Edda’, ‘Jubileum’, and ‘Reeves’, under specific Norwegian climatic conditions. Emasculated, unpollinated, and open-pollinated flowers were collected at the beginning of flowering, and on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th days after flowering, from all four plum cultivars over two years (2018/2019). Ovaries were dehydrated, embedded in paraffin wax, sectioned, stained, and observed under a light microscope. Results showed the existence of synchronization between successive phases in the development of the embryo sac and individual phases of flowering. All plum cultivars had higher percentages of viable embryo sacs, fertilized embryo sacs, and fruit set in 2018 than in 2019. These differences may be related to the very low temperatures during the post-full-flowering period in 2019, and to the low adaptation of some studied cultivars to unfavorable conditions. In our study, the cultivar ‘Jubileum’ showed the highest percentage of viable embryo sacs, fertilized embryo sacs, and fruit set compared to other cultivars, i.e., the best low-temperature adaptation.

AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the content and profile of the phenolic compounds (PCs) and antioxidant properties of field-grown leaves, in vitro leaves and in vitro callus cultures of the blackberry ‘Čačanska Bestrna’ and blueberry ‘Toro’. In vitro shoots of the selected genotypes were grown either on original Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 1 mg/L BA, 0.1 mg/L IBA and 0.1 mg/L GA3 (‘Čačanska Bestrna’) or on MS medium with macroelements reduced to 1/2, 2 mg/L zeatin and 0.2 mg/L IAA (‘Toro’). Callus cultures were induced from in vitro leaves and established on MS medium with 2 mg/L BA and 2 mg/L 2,4-D (‘Čačanska Bestrna’) or MS medium with half strength macroelements, 2 mg/L BA, 2 mg/L 2,4-D and 1 mg/L NAA (‘Toro’). Total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC) were the highest in blueberry leaves, whereas low TPC and TFC values were obtained in callus cultures of both cultivars. A higher content of PCs in blueberry leaves compared to blackberry leaves was determined by the UHPLC-DAD MS/MS technique. Quercetin derivatives and phenolic acids were the dominant PCs in the leaves of both berries, whereas gallocatechin was present in a significant amount in blueberry leaves. Callus cultures of both berries had a specific PC profile, with none detected in the leaves except quercetin-3O-glucoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside. Blackberry leaves showed the best antioxidant properties as estimated by ferric reducing power (FRP), ABTS•+ and DPPH• scavenging activity assays. Callus cultures of both berries exhibited three to five times lower ABTS•+ and ten to seventeen times lower DPPH• scavenging activity compared to corresponding leaves. The analyzed leaves and callus cultures can be a good source of PCs with good antioxidant properties and specific phenolics, respectively, for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

AB  - Pollen grain micromorphological characterisation of four plum (Prunus domestica L.) genotypes from two different breeding programmes (Fruit Research Institute, Serbia, and Hohenheim, Germany) was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The studied characteristics were pollen size and shape, colpus length, mesocolpium width as well as exine characteristics. All genotypes had tricolpate pollen grains and striate exine ornamentation, with more parallel longitudinal ridges. The most significant differences among the analysed genotypes concerned the length of the pollen grain and exine sculpturing. The genotypes 'Pozna Plava', 'Presenta' and 'Čačanska najbolja' had the largest pollen grains (> 57 µm), whereas 'Hanita' showed a smaller pollen size, below 54 µm. 'Pozna Plava' had perprolate pollen in the equatorial view (L/W ratio 2.06), while the other three genotypes had prolate shaped pollen. By analysing the pollen morphological characteristics of the plum varieties in this paper, primarily the shape, size, length of colpi and, most importantly, the sculpture of the exine, each variety showed a specificity which can be used together with other morphological characteristics for description and characterisation.

AB  - Norwegian plum production is characterized by climatic limitations, different flowering time, deficiently of wholly-adapted cultivars and appropriate pollen donors for cultivars that can be grown in this region. This study evaluated the progamic phase of fertilization and fruit set in four European plum cultivars (´Mallard´, ´Edda´, ´Jubileum´, and ´Reeves´) after crossing with different pollinizers over two years (2018/2019). Reproductive parameters, in vitro pollen germination, number of pollen tubes in the upper part of the style and locule of the ovary, number of pistils with ovule penetrated by pollen tube, fruit set in all crossing combinations, and fruit set in open pollination of pollen recipient cultivars showed different adaptability of both recipient and donor cultivars to the specific ecological conditions prevailing in Western Norway. The pollinizers ´Victoria´, ´Opal´ and ´Č. Lepotica´ proved to be a very good pollinizers for cultivar ´Jubileum´, while pollinizers ´R. C. Souffriau´ and ´Valor´ for the cultivar ´Reeves´. Cultivars ´Opal´, ´R. E. Prolific´ and ´Mallard´ are excellent pollinizers for ´Edda´ in conditions of higher temperatures during flowering period and post-flowering period. Cultivar ´Č. Lepotica´ proved to be the best pollinizer for ´Edda´ in conditions when the temperatures were lower. Cultivars ´Opal´ and ´R. E. Prolific´ can be considered as good pollinizers for ´Mallard´.

AB  - The effect of three different temperatures (8, 16 and 24°C) on pollen germination and pollen tube growth in vitro in eight quince cultivars (‘Leskovacka’, Vranjska’, ‘Morava’, ‘Pazardzijska’, ‘Hemus’, ‘Asenica’, ‘Portugal’ and ‘Triumph’) was studied. The research was carried out in a two-year period (2015-2016). Germination rate and pollen tube growth were determined on the culture medium containing 15% sucrose and 0.7% agar. The temperature showed a significant effect on in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube length. The lowest pollen germination was determined at the temperature of 8°C (22.73%). However, pollen germination was three times higher at temperatures of 16 and 24°C (62.60 and 72.16%, respectively). The temperature effect was significantly more pronounced on the pollen tube length. The smallest pollen tube length was determined at 8°C (241.5 μm) and it was four to five times lower than the pollen tube length measured at 16 and 24°C (809.6 and 1137.4 μm, respectively). On this basis, it can be concluded that the temperature of 8°C was not sufficient for pollen germination and pollen tube growth in quince cultivars. However, temperatures of 16 and 24°C were optimal for pollen germination and pollen tube growth.

abstract = "The effect of three different temperatures (8, 16 and 24°C) on pollen germination and pollen tube growth in vitro in eight quince cultivars (‘Leskovacka’, Vranjska’, ‘Morava’, ‘Pazardzijska’, ‘Hemus’, ‘Asenica’, ‘Portugal’ and ‘Triumph’) was studied. The research was carried out in a two-year period (2015-2016). Germination rate and pollen tube growth were determined on the culture medium containing 15% sucrose and 0.7% agar. The temperature showed a significant effect on in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube length. The lowest pollen germination was determined at the temperature of 8°C (22.73%). However, pollen germination was three times higher at temperatures of 16 and 24°C (62.60 and 72.16%, respectively). The temperature effect was significantly more pronounced on the pollen tube length. The smallest pollen tube length was determined at 8°C (241.5 μm) and it was four to five times lower than the pollen tube length measured at 16 and 24°C (809.6 and 1137.4 μm, respectively). On this basis, it can be concluded that the temperature of 8°C was not sufficient for pollen germination and pollen tube growth in quince cultivars. However, temperatures of 16 and 24°C were optimal for pollen germination and pollen tube growth.",

AB  - Aim of study: To determine the self-compatibility level of eight quince cultivars. Area of study: The region of Belgrade (Central Serbia). Material and methods: Pollen tube growth in vivo and fruit set in two pollination variants (self- and open-pollination) were studied in eight quince cultivars. The quantitative parameters of pollen tube growth (average number of pollen tubes in the upper and middle third of the style, base of the style and in the ovary; the dynamics of pollen tube growth through these parts of the pistil) was determined using the fluorescence microscopy. Main results: The parameters of pollen tube growth and fruit set were primarily dependent on the genotype and variants of pollination. All studied parameters were significantly higher in the open-pollination variant compared with the self-pollination in all cultivars. In the self-pollination variant, 'Leskovacka' and Vranjska' had the highest number of pollen tubes that penetrated the ovary (2.10 and 0.54 in average, respectively), as well as the largest percentage of pistils with the penetration of pollen tubes in the nucellus of ovules six days after pollination (40.09% and 14.74%). Also, they had the highest percentage of initial fruit set (17.01% and 28.52%) and final fruit set (9.32% and 9.86%). Based on this, 'Leskovacka' and 'Vranjska' can be classified as self-compatible cultivars, while the others are self-incompatible. Research highlights: The majority of quince cultivars were self-incompatible. When establishing new orchards with these cultivars, care should be taken about the choice of pollenisers in order to achieve high yields.

AB  - Norwegian pear production is low due to climatic limitations, a lack of well-adapted cultivars and suitable pollinizers. However, nowadays it is increasing as a result of newly introduced and bred pear cultivars. Since cross pollination is necessary for high yields and good fruit quality, the aim of this investigation was to find the most suitable pollinizers for the pear cultivars "Ingeborg" ("Conference" x "Bonne Louise") and "Celina" ("Coloree de Juillet" x "Williams"). Self-pollination of "Ingeborg" and "Celina", together with "Conference", "Belle Lucrative", "Anna", "Clara Frijs", "Herzogin Elsa", "Kristina" and "Fritjof" as potential pollinizers, were studied in this experiment during the 2017 and 2018 seasons in Norway. The success rate of each pollinizer was tested under field conditions, while the monitoring of pollen tube growth was done using the fluorescence microscopy method. All reproductive parameters (pollen germination, number of pollen tubes in the upper part of the style, pollen tube number in the locule of the ovary, number of fertilized ovules, initial fruit set, and final fruit set) in all crossing combinations were higher in 2018 due to much warmer weather. Based on the flowering overlap and success rate of each individual pollinizer and fruit set, the cultivars "Anna" and "Clara Frijs" can be suggested as pollinizers for the cultivar "Ingeborg", while "Fritjof", "Anna", "Kristina" and "Herzogin Elsa" for the cultivar "Celina". An even distribution of two compatible pollinizers having overlapping flowering times with the main commercial pear cultivar is a general recommendation for commercial pear production.

AB  - One of the most important plum (Prunus domestica L.) breeding objectives is regular and large yield which depends on the degree of self-fertility. Partially self-fertile and self-sterile genotypes require compatible pollenizers. The aim of this study was to investigate suitability of the cultivar 'Čačanska Lepotica' as a pollenizer for six promising plum genotypes (hybrids 38/62/70, IV/63/81, 32/21/87, 34/41/87, and 22/17/87, and the cultivar 'Nada') developed at Fruit Research Institute (FRI), Čačak. Previous studies showed that the abovementioned plum genotypes were characterized by different levels of self-fertility. Also, a satisfactory overlapping in the flowering time between the pollenizer and studied genotypes was found. The investigation was conducted over two years and included pollen germination in vitro of the pollenizer cultivar, as well as quantitative parameters of pollen tube growth in vivo (the number of pollen tubes in the upper third and in the base of the style, number of pollen tubes in the ovary, the percentage of pistils with the pollen tube penetrating the nucellus of the ovule 10 days after pollination) and fruit set under cross-pollination. The same quantitative parameters of pollen tube growth in vivo and fruit set under open pollination were used for comparison. The tested cultivars had good pollen germination, ranging from 44.16% in the first year to 44.57% in the second year of study. All studied plum genotypes except hybrid 22/17/87 had higher values of quantitative parameters of pollen tube growth in vivo and fruit set in the cross-pollination variant compared to the open pollination variant. Average fruit set in the cross-pollination variant ranged from 15.42% (hybrid IV/63/81) to 32.61% ('Nada'). Based on the obtained results, the cultivar 'Čačanska Lepotica' represents a satisfactory pollenizer for hybrids IV/63/81 and 32/21/87, and a good pollenizer for hybrids 38/62/70, 34/41/87, 22/17/87, and the cultivar 'Nada'.

AB  - A newly released, late ripening plum cultivar 'Pozna Plava' sets fruit poorly, although it produces high quality fruit. This study aimed to evaluate which factors in the reproductive process could be related to the lack of fruit set. In two consecutive years, establishment of a suitable polleniser and the stage of ovule development at anthesis as well as initial and final fruit set have been studied. In addition to this, the impact made by temperature fluctuations on the interaction between male gametophytes and female sporophytes was also analysed. Growth of the pollen tubes in the style and penetration into the nucellus as well as fruit set were more effective in cross-pollination than in open and self-pollination. A relative delay in ovule development was observed, and most ovules had an embryo sac with eight nuclei. Considering the results of the quantitative parameter study of pollen tube growth in the ovary as well as the results of the stage of ovule development, a conclusion can be made that this cultivar is characterised by an extremely short effective period of pollination.

AB  - The Norwegian newly bred pear cultivar, Celina/QTee®, which was launched in 2010, has been released from the Norwegian breeding program that was initiated in 1983. It was derived from the combination ‘Colorée de Juillet’ × ‘Williams’. In Norway the flowering is medium to late and it ripens in the beginning of September. It has large attractive fruits with a red blush. It has a good fruit quality, storability and shelf life. Cross pollination is necessary in order to have high yields of this diploid cultivar. Pollination of ‘Celina’ with pollen of four donors (‘Conference’, ‘Kristina’, ‘Anna’ and ‘Fritjof’), together with open- and self-pollination were studied in this experiment during the 2016 season in Norway. The dynamics of the pollen tube growth (third, sixth and ninth day after anthesis) in style (upper, middle and lower third) and parts of the ovary in all crossing combination, were observed by fluorescent microscopy. Besides giving the best results regarding the average number of pollen tubes in different parts of pistils and the dynamics of pollen tube growth, ‘Conference’ was the only one of which the pollen tubes didn’t show any incompatible signs while growing through the transmitting tissue of the ‘Celina’ style. According to those preliminary results, ‘Conference’ was the best pollenizer, followed by ‘Kristina’. The study has to be repeated for another season.

AB  - Vitality of pollen, in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth (pollen tube length and pollen tube growth rate) were investigated in Oblacinska sour cherry in order to determine the differences between clones which have divergent yielding potential. For this purpose two 'Oblacinska' sour cherry clones with high fruit set and high yields (II/2, III/9) and two with low fruit set and low-yielding (XI/3 and XIII/1) were used in this study. Pollen germination was done on artificial medium containing 14% sucrose and 0.3% agar-agar at room temperature (23 degrees C). Pollen tube growth was stopped with a drop of 40% formaldehyde, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after contact with the medium. The maximum percentage of germination ranged from 13.01% (clone II/2, after 1 h) to 54.19% (clone III/9, after 24 h). Pollen tube length varied from 64.84 mu m (clone XIII/1, after 1 h) to > 1,100 mu m (clones II/2 and III/9, after 24 h). Pollen growth rate was quite high (up to 1.71 mu m min(-1)) after 6 h of germination, but rather decreasing until 24 h of germination (0.56. 0.83 mu m min(-1)). The dynamics of in vitro pollen tubes growth among the clones were quite different, especially after 12 h and 24 h of germination. Clones that are singled out as fruitful (II/2 and III/9) gave much better results regarding pollen germination and pollen tube growth in comparison to clones which were characterized by low fruit set and yields (XI/3 and XIII/1).

AB  - Flowering is one of the most important factors in plant fertility. Fruit set in fruits is directly influenced by the beginning, sequence, flow, duration and abundance of flowering. The objective of this study was to evaluate the variability of flowering in 41 'Oblacinska' sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) clones, and to recommend early-flowering genotypes for growing in warmer locations where late spring frosts are rare, and some late-flowering clones for sites more susceptible for spring frost. Results from the three years period (2004-06), showed that 'Oblacinska' sour cherry clones flowered in a fixed sequence each year. Average for clone VII/2N, which flowered the earliest, was April 8 and petal fall took place by April 21, whereas clone III/1 bloomed last on April 14 and petal fall took place on April 25. Statistical analysis showed that almost all sub-phases of flowering were under the significant influence of both ecological and genetic factors. Besides, ecologic factors had the highest impact to the variability of beginning of flowering (79.8%), full bloom (76.8%), petal fall (80.2%) and duration of flowering (85.56%). Clones III/1, III/13, V/6 and V/2 were considered as late flowering, whereas clones VII/2N, VI/27, VI/28 and IX/P were early flowering, taking place five days earlier then previous group.

AB  - 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).

AB  - The self-compatibility of six promising plum genotypes (hybrids 38/62/70, IV/63/81, 32/21/87, 34/41/87 and 22/17/87 and cultivar 'Nada') was examined during the period 2009-2011 through quantitative evaluation of paiameters of in vivo pollen tube growth and fruit set. Mean daily temperatures were recorded during the flowering period. All genotypes showed good average in vitro pollen germination (36.34-38.63%) except the cultivar 'Nada' (25.64%). The lowest values for in vivo pollen tube growth parameters except with respect to number of pollen tubes in the upper third of the style - were found in hybrid 32/21/87 and cultivar 'Nada'. The same genotypes also had the highest numbers of incompatible pollen tubes. The average number of fruit set ranged from 1.25% (hybrid 32/21/87) to 31.08% (hybrid 34/41/87). All studied parameters depended on genotype, year and their interaction. There was a significant positive correlation between the number of fruit set and the number of pollen tubes in the base of the style. The number of pollen tubes in the ovary had a significant positive impact on percentage of pistils with pollen tube penetrating the nucellus 240 h after pollination and on number of fruit set. Based on these data hybrid 32/21/87 and cultivar 'Nada' were classed as partially self compatible and hybrids 38/62/70, IV/63/81, 34/41/87 and 22/17/87 as self-compatible.

AB  - Canetova' is a new sweet cherry cultivar released at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Belgrade. It was selected as a spontaneous seedling and recognized in 2014 by the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection. Comparisons with the standard cultivar 'Bigarreau Jaboulay' were done during two consecutive years (2013-2014). It bloomed 3-4 days after the control cultivar. Method of fluorescent microscopy proved that this is a self-incompatible cultivar. The maturing time was 3-4 days after 'Bigarreau Jaboulay'. The productivity was little lower, but the fruit weight is much higher in 'Canetova' (8.75 g) compared with 'Bigarreau Jaboulay' (6.75 g). The taste is sweet, higher value of soluble solid/total acidity ratio (23.31) compared to the standard cultivar (18.89). Aroma is very pleasant. It showed resistance to economically important diseases (Monilinia laxa and Monilinia fructigena, Blumeriella jaappi and Wilsonomyces carpophilus) and low teperatures, like standard cultivar. Regarding early ripening time, large fruit and pleasant taste, this cultivar started spreading in Belgrade's surrounding.

AB  - Lenka' is a new sour cherry cultivar released from the sour cherry breeding program at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Belgrade. It was selected as a spontaneous seedling and recognized as cultivar in 2014 by the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection. The evaluation of this cultivar was done in comparison with the control cultivar 'Meteor Korai' during a two-year period (20122013). Averagely, it bloomed a day after the control cultivar. Method of fluorescent microscopy indicated that this is a self-compatible cultivar. The ripening time is a day after 'Meteor Korai'. The productivity is on a level with standard cultivar. The fruit is larger (7.6 g), compared to 'Meteor Korai' (5.6 g), with significantly higher fruit stalk length (4.5 and 3.6 cm, respectively). The taste is sweet-acidic, harmonic, having higher value of soluble solids/total acidity ratio (17.7) compared to the standard cultivar (13.7). 'Lenka' is highly resistant to economically important diseases (Monilinia laxa, Monilinia fructigena, Blumeriella jaapii and Wilsonomyces carpophilus) and low teperatures. Regarding large fruit and pleasant taste, this cultivar could be used both for processing and fresh consumption.

The evaluation of this cultivar was done in comparison with the control cultivar 'Meteor Korai' during a two-year period (20122013). Averagely, it bloomed a day after the control cultivar. Method of fluorescent microscopy indicated that this is a self-compatible cultivar. The ripening time is a day after 'Meteor Korai'. The productivity is on a level with standard cultivar. The fruit is larger (7.6 g), compared to 'Meteor Korai' (5.6 g), with significantly higher fruit stalk length (4.5 and 3.6 cm, respectively). The taste is sweet-acidic, harmonic, having higher value of soluble solids/total acidity ratio (17.7) compared to the standard cultivar (13.7). 'Lenka' is highly resistant to economically important diseases (Monilinia laxa, Monilinia fructigena, Blumeriella jaapii and Wilsonomyces carpophilus) and low teperatures. Regarding large fruit and pleasant taste, this cultivar could be used both for processing and fresh consumption.",

AB  - The Oblacinska sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) is a mixture of different clones with similar tree and fruit characteristics that is indigenous to and widely planted in commercial orchards in Serbia. Sour cherry, including Oblacinska sour cherry clones, exhibits irregular meiosis which may contribute to low fruit set in some selections. The goal of this study was to examine the process of microsporogenesis and to determine if meiosis and its anomalies effect the in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube length in four 'Oblacinska' sour cherry clones that differ in fruit set and yields. All clones displayed varying degrees of chromosomal abnormalities in all meiosis sub-phases. The abnormalities became evident from late pachytene with more than half of the pollen mother cells (PMC) showing abnormal conjugation of chromosomes in metaphase I. The lowest number of PMCs with laggards was in clone III/9 and the highest in clone XIII/1. In second division, the univalent and multivalent association was observed at metaphase-II, the lagging and stickiness in anaphase-II, and the phenomenon persisted up to the microspore stage. In all four 'Oblacinska' clones, PMCs exhibited cytomixis phenomena, however, it was only observed in the second experimental year. Cytomixis differed among the four clones but was equally frequent in all stages of meiosis. The syncytia formed, most often consisted of 2-3 PMCs that were at the same phase of meiosis, and exhibited common cytoplasm and occasionally nuclear fusion. In vitro pollen germination and pollen tube length significantly differed between the clones. Most probably abnormalities during meiosis, regardless of the good results of pollen germination, influenced the reduced potential clones XI/3 and XIII/1.

AB  - The study of pollen performance in vivo of four self-incompatible sweet cherry cultivars-'Karina', 'Kordia', 'Regina' and 'Summit' was performed. The results were considered in the context of climatic conditions of West Serbia, bearing in mind increased frequency of seasons with higher temperatures during the flowering. Each cultivar was used as polleniser and pollinated cultivar, and together with the open pollination variant, a total of 16 combinations were analysed during the three-year period. The effect of variability factors on pollen tube growth efficiency occurred as a common impact of polleniser, its requirement to flowering temperatures, the influence of pollinated cultivar on pollen performance, and the response of male-female relations to air temperature. 'Summit' induced the highest pollen tube number, while the pollen tube number of 'Kordia' was the lowest. Higher temperatures during the flowering have caused a decrease in the number of pollen tubes in 'Kordia' and 'Karina', and increase of their number in 'Regina' and 'Summit' as pollenisers. The genotype-dependent response of pollenisers in terms of air temperature during the flowering has not consistently manifested, and was partially modified by the influence of the pollinated cultivar. The main tendencies were more apparent in the 'borderline cases', i.e. in pollination of cultivars having diametrically opposite requirements, than in those of cultivars having similar requirements regarding the flowering temperature.

AB  - The pistils of plum (Prunus domestica L.) cv. 'Cacanska Lepotica' were self- and cross-pollinated in order to investigate occurrence of incompatible pollen tubes in the style, and their impact on fertilization success. The investigation also included open pollination variant. The highest percentage of these stopped the growth in the upper third of the style. Under cross-pollination variant, 15.4% and 12.1% of pollen tubes observed in the upper part of the style in the first and the second years of study, respectively, were found incompatible. In view of the above parameters, in the self-pollination variant, 15.0% and 17.0% of pollen tubes were found incompatible by years. As for the open pollination, percentages of incompatible pollen tubes in the upper part of the style by years were 14.0% and 14.4%, respectively. The occurrence of incompatible pollen tubes did not influence the fertilization success in these pollination variants.

AB  - In vitro pollen germination on agarose-sucrose medium, and pollen grain morphology by scanning electron microscopy, were investigated in four sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars ('Karina', 'Kordia', 'Regina' and 'Summit'). The highest percentage of in vitro pollen germination over a three-year period was observed in 'Regina' (46.60 +/- 3.58%), and the lowest in 'Kordia' (26.68 +/- 1.59%). The results suggested a major influence of cultivars specificities which induced the different response to experimental conditions among years. The differences in morphological characters of pollen grains - size and shape (length, width and length/width - L/W ratio), germinal furrows (number and shape, length, width, distance between furrows) and exine ornamentation (the number of ridges in 100 mu m(2) of exine, ridges and stria width) were significant enough to separate and identify the investigated cultivars. When all parameters were considered together, the pollen of each cultivar exhibited a unique pattern. The results also suggested a relationship between pollen grains properties and origin of the studied sweet cherry cultivars. The most significant differences were observed among 'Summit' (North American cultivar) and the other three European cultivars investigated. The highest similarity in pollen grain characteristics was observed between 'Karina' and 'Regina', originating from the same parental combination.

AB  - The paper presents two-year results of the study (2008-2009) of the initial and final fruit set in sweet cherry cultivars 'Kordia', 'Summit', 'Karina' and 'Regina' grown under agroecological conditions of Čačak, which were subjected to different types of pollination. Each of the above mentioned cultivars was investigated under cross-pollination and self-pollination conditions (16 combinations); for each combination 300 flowers were emasculated and pollinated. The study of the initial and final fruit set under the conditions of open pollination was concurrently performed. The characteristics of flowering phenophase as well as in vitro pollen germination of the stated cultivars were monitored. Generally, in all the cultivars fruit set was higher in the first year of study. 'Karina' and 'Regina' had high fruit set rate in both years, in cross- and open pollination. 'Regina' proved to be the best pollinator, especially for 'Karina', and demonstrated the best in vitro pollen germination in comparison with the other studied cultivars.
AB  - U radu su predstavljeni dvogodišnji rezultati (2008-2009. godina) ispitivanja inicijalnog i finalnog zametanja plodova sorti trešnje 'Karina', 'Kordia', 'Regina' i 'Summit' u zavisnosti od tipa oprašivanja, u agroekološkim uslovima Čačka. Inicijalno i finalno zametanje plodova je ispitivano u varijantama unakrsnog i samooprašivanja (16 kombinacija), a za svaku kombinaciju je emaskulirano i oprašeno 300 cvetova. Istovremeno je obavljeno ispitivanje zametanja plodova navedenih sorti u varijanti slobodnog oprašivanja, kao i karakteristike fenofaze cvetanja i klijavost polena in vitro. Procenat zametanja plodova je kod svih sorti generalno bio viši u prvoj godini ispitivanja. Sorte 'Karina' i 'Regina' su imale visok procenat zametanja plodova u obe godine, u svim kombinacijama stranooprašivanja, kao i u slobodnom oprašivanju. Sorta 'Regina' se pokazala prosečno najboljim oprašivačem za preostale sorte, a posebno za sortu 'Karina'. Sorta 'Regina' je takođe imala i najbolju klijavost polena in vitro.

The study of the initial and final fruit set under the conditions of open pollination was concurrently performed. The characteristics of flowering phenophase as well as in vitro pollen germination of the stated cultivars were monitored. Generally, in all the cultivars fruit set was higher in the first year of study. 'Karina' and 'Regina' had high fruit set rate in both years, in cross- and open pollination. 'Regina' proved to be the best pollinator, especially for 'Karina', and demonstrated the best in vitro pollen germination in comparison with the other studied cultivars., U radu su predstavljeni dvogodišnji rezultati (2008-2009. godina) ispitivanja inicijalnog i finalnog zametanja plodova sorti trešnje 'Karina', 'Kordia', 'Regina' i 'Summit' u zavisnosti od tipa oprašivanja, u agroekološkim uslovima Čačka. Inicijalno i finalno zametanje plodova je ispitivano u varijantama unakrsnog i samooprašivanja (16 kombinacija), a za svaku kombinaciju je emaskulirano i oprašeno 300 cvetova. Istovremeno je obavljeno ispitivanje zametanja plodova navedenih sorti u varijanti slobodnog oprašivanja, kao i karakteristike fenofaze cvetanja i klijavost polena in vitro. Procenat zametanja plodova je kod svih sorti generalno bio viši u prvoj godini ispitivanja. Sorte 'Karina' i 'Regina' su imale visok procenat zametanja plodova u obe godine, u svim kombinacijama stranooprašivanja, kao i u slobodnom oprašivanju. Sorta 'Regina' se pokazala prosečno najboljim oprašivačem za preostale sorte, a posebno za sortu 'Karina'. Sorta 'Regina' je takođe imala i najbolju klijavost polena in vitro.",

AB  - The initial fruits set as well as the correlation between the dynamics of pollen tubes growth and the numbers of initially fruits set in cv Čačanska Lepotica were studied in this investigation were studied. The study included three variants of fertilization, i.e. open-, cross-(pollen of Čačanska Najbolja), and self-pollination. The largest percentage of the fruits set was recorded in the cross-pollination variant in both years. The lowest percentage of the fruits set in the first year was in selfpollination variant, while in the second year it was recorded in open-pollination variant. The results for the coefficient of linear correlation in both years show high correlation between the dynamics of pollen tubes growth and the number of initially fruits set in cross and self-pollinated variants. In open-pollination variant coefficient of correlation was in the rang of low correlation. The largest coefficient of linear correlation between the dynamics of pollen tubes growth and the numbers of initially fruits set was in cross-pollination variant (with cv Čačanska Najbolja), which is another positive confirmation effect of cross- pollination on the fruits set.
AB  - U radu je utvrđen broj inicijalno zametnutih plodova kao i korelacija između dinamike rasta polenovih cevčica i broja inicijalno zametnutih plodova kod sorte šljive Čačanska lepotica u tri varijante oprašivanja: slobodno, samo- i stranooprašivanje (polenom sorte Čačanska najbolja). U obe godine ispitivanja najveći procenat zametnutih plodova bio je u varijanti stranooprašivanja. Najmanji procenat zametnutih plodova u prvoj godini ispitivanja bio u varijanti samooprašivanja, a u drugoj godini u varijanti slobodnog oprašivanja. Dobijeni rezultati koeficijenta linearne korelacije za obe godine ispitivanja pokazuju da u varijantama stranooprašivanja i samooprašivanja postoji visoka korelacija između dinamike rasta polenovih cevčica i broja inicijalno zametnutih plodova. U varijanti slobodnog oprašivanja koeficijent korelacije se kretao u rangu slabe korelacije.
