'IAC Aurojima': a new yellow-fleshed nectarine selection for mild climates.

摘要

'Aurojima' (IAC N 2680-91) is a new red-skin-yellow-fleshed nectarine selection of the Instituto Agronomico, Capta - Frutas, Jundiai, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, adapted to the mild winter regions. It was originated as an open-pollinated seedling of 'Ouromel-4' (IAC 1870-2) - an F₁ hybrid obtained by cross between 'Ouromel' (IAC 2-76), an ancient IAC peach, with 'Sunred' a nectarine introduced from Florida, USA. The low chilling requirement, high plant vigour and productivity, medium-large fruit size, besides the excellent fruit appearance, quality and taste, are the main characteristics that justify the inclusion of this new IAC selection in the commercial peach orchards of Sao Paulo and regions of similar climate.
