Elucidation of genetic diversity in hawthorn (Crataegus azarolus L.) accessions naturally growing in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Türkiye using morphological, pomological, and inter simple sequence repeat markers.

Background: Türkiye hosts many important fruit species due to its geographical location and ecology. Hawthorn, which is highly beneficial for human health, is one of these significant fruit species. In the present study, 125 accessions of Crataegus azarolus L.

Genetic relationships between sweet cherry ( L.) and sour cherry ( L.) as revealed using fruit characterizations and chloroplast microsatellites.

In the present study, the genetic diversity as well as the relationship between sweet cherry ( L.) and sour cherry ( L.) genotypes were investigated based on fruit traits and chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSRs).
