AB  - Viticulture is of great economic importance in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thanks to favorable climatic conditions and a long-standing tradition of growing vines. The assortment is dominated by international varieties, as well as some autochthonous and domesticated varieties. The subject of the research is the analysis of the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Vranac, and Blatina varieties at two localities in Herzegovina during the period 2020–2021. The paper examined the most important economic and technological characteristics, grape quality, and berry phenolic profile. A particularly pronounced variation of the tested characteristics during the research period was observed in the Merlot and Blatina varieties, while the Cabernet Sauvignon and Vranac varieties showed a slightly higher stability of the tested characteristics. Poorer grape quality during the research period was registered with the Blatina variety, which can be considered a varietal characteristic to some extent. The analyzed grape varieties were rich in polyphenols, and the impact of grape variety on the berry phenolic profiles was confirmed. The most abundant polyphenols in the analyzed grape samples were quercetin 3-O-glucoside and catechin gallate, followed by kaempferol 3-O-glucoside. The highest values of polyphenols were found mainly in the samples originating from Trebinje. Indigenous Balkan grape varieties (Vranac and Blatina) stood out with particularly high contents of some phenolics. Research has shown that climatic conditions have a significant influence on the most important characteristics of grapes, which are conditioned by genotypic specificities. The conditions for growing vines in the conditions of Herzegovina enable high quality in the production of grapes, especially the Cabernet Sauvignon and Vranac varieties. The autochthonous variety Blatina shows significant variations in grape quality during the test period, which was confirmed by the results of a larger number of studies in the previous period. © 2023 by the authors.

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  - In this study we report on the content of organic acids, sugars and minerals in the pulps of the twelve cherry laurel accessions most commonly consumed in eastern Black Sea Region. Malic acid was the dominant organic acid ranged from 43.27 (CL6) to 54.23 (CL3) mg/100 g fresh weight basis. The dominant sugars were glucose and fructose in the pulps that ranged from 4.83 (CL1) to 5.74 (CL5) mg/100 g and 4.66 (CL3) to 5.53 (CL7) mg/100 g, respectively. The pulp of cherry laurel was shown to be rich in potassium (187-241 mg), phosphorus (26-45 mg), calcium (15-22 mg), magnesium (15-24 mg) and sodium (3.9-6.1 mg) in 100 g fruit pulp. The data may be useful in selecting wild edible fruit species appropriate for incorporation into diets.

AB  - The effects of 5 crop load levels (all fruit removed and 10, 20, 30, and 40 fruit per tree) in the second growing year on vegetative growth, productivity, and fruit quality were studied in apple cultivars Gala and Braeburn on M9 rootstock in the second and the third leaf. An increase in vegetative growth was observed on the defruited trees in the second growing year. The highest crop load of 40 fruits per tree reduced average fruit weight by 18.7% in Gala compared to those obtained on the trees carrying the lowest crop load (10 fruits per tree). The reduction in average fruit weight was compensated by the increase in yields. Yield per tree in the treatment with the highest crop load was 2.4-fold higher in Gala and 2.7-fold higher in Braeburn than the treatment with the lowest crop load. Yield efficiency (kg cm(-2) trunk cross-section area) in both tested cultivars ranked the highest on the trees carrying the heaviest crop. The highest crop load in the second growing year did not have negative consequences on the yield and fruit quality obtained in the third growing year.

AB  - The chemical fruit composition, phenolic profile, and corresponding total antioxidant activity of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) and 2 commercial blueberry cultivars (Vaccinium corymbosum) were analyzed. Results from this study showed that cultivar Berkeley yielded the highest glucose and fructose contents (70.8 and 88.8 mg/g FW, respectively), and the sweetness index expressed a similar trend, achieving the highest value for cultivar Berkeley (279.2). Citric acid was the major organic acid in the berries tested. V myrtillus yielded a total organic acids value 2-fold higher (0.35 mg/g FW) as well as the highest vitamin C content (25.8 mg/100 g FW). Among the flavonols measured, myricetin was most abundant in V myrtillus (10.7 mu g/g FW), whereas the highest amounts of kaempferol and quercetin were detected in the blueberry cultivar Bluecrop (4.75 and 9.11 mu g/g FW, respectively). Despite the challenge of characterizing phenolic acids due to the complexity and natural variation in fruit composition, this study confirms that cultivars of V corymbosum are rich sources of chlorogenic acid, particularly cultivar Bluecrop (71.2 mu g/g FW). Nevertheless, total phenolics were higher in V myrtillus than in the cultivated blueberries, and consequently the highest level of total antioxidant capacity was recorded in wild bilberry (6.16 mg asc/g FW). This semicomprehensive study characterizes the fruit quality attributes and illustrates differences in the content of taste- and health-related compounds present in these Vaccinium berries.
