Prunus × Rossica
''Prunus'' × ''rossica'', the Russian plum, is a hybrid cultigen between cherry plum (''Prunus cerasifera'') and Chinese or Japanese plum (''Prunus salicina''). It is of commercial importance in the European Russia European Russia is the western and most populated part of the Russia, Russian Federation. It is geographically situated in Europe, as opposed to the country's sparsely populated and vastly larger eastern part, Siberia, which is situated in Asia ..., and there are many cultivars developed there, such as 'Gek', 'Desertnaya', 'Kubanskaya Kometa', 'Obilnaja'. In the US, a few cultivars have also been developed, such as Sprite Cherry-Plum and Delight Cherry-Plum. The South African cultivar 'Methley' is also a cultivar of ''P.'' × ''rossica''.

Cultigen
A cultigen (), or cultivated plant, is a plant that has been deliberately altered or selected by humans, by means of genetic modification, graft-chimaeras, plant breeding, or wild or cultivated plant selection. These plants have commercial value in horticulture, agriculture and forestry. Plants meeting this definition remain cultigens whether they are naturalised, deliberately planted in the wild, or grown in cultivation. Naming The traditional method of scientific naming is under the '' International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'', and many of the most important cultigens, like maize (''Zea mays'') and banana (''Musa acuminata''), are named. The items in the list can be in any rank. It is more common currently for cultigens to be given names in accordance with the '' International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants'' (ICNCP) principles, rules and recommendations, which provide for the names of cultigens in three categories: the cultivar, the ...

Prunus Salicina
''Prunus salicina'' ( syn. ''Prunus triflora'' or ''Prunus thibetica''), commonly called the Japanese plum or Chinese plum, is a small deciduous tree native to China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It is an introduced species in Korea, Japan, the United States, and Australia. ''Prunus salicina'' should not be confused with ''Prunus mume'', a related species also commonly called Chinese plum or Japanese plum. '' Prunus japonica'' is also another tree that is a separate species despite having a Latin name similar to ''Prunus salicinas common name. Names Some names for this plant, in addition to Japanese or Chinese plum, are Willow-leaf cherry, Asian Plum, in English, Ameixa or Ameixa-japonesa in Portuguese, 李 lǐ in Mandarin and Japanskt plommon in Swedish. The generic name, ''Prunus,'' comes from the Greek ''Prunum,'' meaning plum. The specific epithet, salicina, is derived from the Latin word for willow. Description ''Prunus salicina'' grows up to tall, and its branches are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
European Russia
European Russia is the western and most populated part of the Russia, Russian Federation. It is geographically situated in Europe, as opposed to the country's sparsely populated and vastly larger eastern part, Siberia, which is situated in Asia, encompassing the entire North Asia, northern region of the continent. The two parts of Russia are divided by the Ural Mountains and Ural (river), Ural river, bisecting the Eurasia, Eurasian supercontinent. European Russia covers the vast majority of Eastern Europe, and spans roughly 40% of Europe's total landmass, with over 15% of its total population, making Russia the List of European countries by area, largest and List of European countries by population, most populous country in Europe. The region is divided into five Federal districts of Russia, Federal districts. Area and demographics European Russia accounts for about 80% of Russia's total population. It covers an area of over , with a population of nearly 110 million—making R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prunus Sect
''Prunus'' is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs from the family Rosaceae. The genus includes plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and almonds (collectively stonefruit). The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, being native to the temperate regions of North America, the neotropics of South America, and temperate and tropical regions of Eurasia and Africa, There are about 340 accepted species . Many members of the genus are widely cultivated for their sweet, fleshy fruit and for decorative purposes of their flowers. ''Prunus'' fruit are drupes, or stone fruits. The fleshy mesocarp surrounding the endocarp is edible while the endocarp itself forms a hard, inedible shell called the pyrena ("stone" or "pit"). This shell encloses the seed (or "kernel"), which is edible in some species (such as sweet almonds), but poisonous in many others (such as apricot kernels). Besides being eaten off the hand, most ''Prunus'' fruit are also commonly used in processing, such as jam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hybrid Plants
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Generally, it means that each cell has genetic material from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a chimera. Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents such as in blending inheritance (a now discredited theory in modern genetics by particulate inheritance), but can show hybrid vigor, sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent. The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in animal and plant breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of chromosomes. In taxonomy, a key question is how closely related the parent species are. Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridization, which include genetic and morphological ...
