Selection criteria in cloudberryEivind Uleberg, Inger Martinussen, Gunnlaug Røthe
Clone evaluations at Bioforsk Holt • Selection criteria • Number of pistils or stamens per flower • Number of flowers • Number of shoots per m2 • Released cultivars • Two female; ‘Fjellgull’ and ‘Fjordgull’ • Two male; ‘Apollen’ and ‘Apolto’
Materials and methods • Clones planted on peat in open outdoor benches • 0.8 m2 squares • 16 plants per square • Established 2003 • Observations • Number of flowers • Number of berries • Fresh weight of berries
Conclusions • Further evaluations needed before deciding future selection criteria • Genetic and environmental variance • Heritability estimates • Genotype by environment interactions? • Berry contents will most likely be included as new selection criteria
