[Charlie Dodgson]

We found that selecting the right parents’ combination is a highly important stage. While breeding for distinguished female cultivars, we also selected superior Caprifig and developed improved caprifigs. Several agronomic traits were evaluated within our segregating populations. We discovered that black color of the skin is dominant over green while red interior color was dominant over pale color. Smooth skin is dominant over cracked fruits and round fruit shape is dominant over pear shape. Fruit size is a quantitative trait as two large size fruit parents will generate large size fruits.
