| Abstract/Description: | Utchi has narrow genetic base owing to greater use of asexual propagation. Cultivar synonymy on the basis of local nomenclature causes confusion in identifying a genotype for any specific purpose. There fore, 17 genotypes under study have been characterized on the basis of fruit shape index (FSI), specific gravity, seed shape index (SS/), flatness of seed, number of protuberances/cm' and other physico-chemica/ characters of fruit. The cultivars China, Purbi and Bombaiya-11 found to have elongated fruit shape whereas Bedana, Swarna Roopa, Trikolia and Shahi posses roundish fruit shape. Regarding pulp %, the cultivars Bedana, D. Rose, Late Bedana, Green and Rose Scented has the high values. The cultivars Purbi, China, Swarna Roopa and Dehradun has thick peel. Widely spread protuberances was noticed in cultivars Swarna Roopa, Dehradun and Bedana. Bedana, Late Bed;ma and Swarna Roopa had smaller seeds. The cul/ivars Bombaiya-1, Bombaiya-11, Late Bedana, CHES-II, China and Purbi had slender seeds while Deshi, Bombaiya-1 and Late Bedana has flat seeds. |
| Description: | The litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is an important evergreen sub-tropical fruit tree specific to climatic requirement for 'its production. Litchi possesses a narrow genetic base for various agrom ophol ogical traits. Continuous vegetative propagation of commercial cultivars has further narrowed down the genetic base resulting in the .restricted period of availability of fruits in the market. Cultivars have been classified on the basis of economic traits in China and on the basis of growth and flowering pattern in India (Arora et al. 1996; Singh, 1998). Rai and Vishal Nath (2001) reported a total of 51 genotypes being augmented from different litchi growing regions and maintained at HARP, Ranchi. Xuequin (1995) reported 20-25 main litchi types possessing characters of larger fruit size, small stone, thick and free aril of good quality with good flavor having canning quality from south China. However, cultivar synonymy does exit due to the insufficient information on i:;haracterization for different fruit morphological traits and delineation of the characters in its original name. Only few cultivars and be distinguished based on their fruits characters and maturity period. which creates confusion in identifying the suitable cultivar for any specific region. Keeping this in view, a study was carried out to characterize the different litchi genotypes on the basis of physico-chemical characteristics of fruit under the Chotanagpur plateau region of eastern India |
