Evaluation of pomological and phenological traits of blueberries for breeding and cultivation practices

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is a promising fruit species due to its high nutritional value and health benefits. This study, conducted between 2020 and 2024, monitored the phenological and pomological characteristics of 32 different blueberry cultivars grown in the Czech Republic. The evaluation was carried out according to Czech Republic standardized methodologies, BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt und Chemische Industrie) and GRIN (Genetic Resources Information Network), and included parameters such as fruit size, flavor, aroma, firmness, color, and soluble solids content (SSC in ◦Brix). The correlation between individual traits was assessed, along with their phenotypic stability. The results showed that all cultivars exhibited high pomological values, making them suitable for breeding programs. The cultivars ‘Collins’ and ‘Patriot’ received the highest flavor ratings. Firmness, aroma, and color traits were found to be correlated with consumer preferences. The interannual coefficient of variation (CV) obtained for the evaluated blueberry cultivars differed for both pomological and phenological traits, allowing the identification of genotypes with high stability (CV ≤ 10%) and their potential use in targeted breeding programs and industrial production. The ‘Pink Lemonade’ blueberry cultivar, in particular, combines unique color characteristics with a strong aroma. Overall, this study provides valuable insights for future breeding efforts aimed at improving blueberry quality and cultivar adaptability under different cultivation conditions.
