  Prunus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prunus is a genus of trees and shrubs, including the plums, cherries, peaches, apricots and almonds.
Prunus species are used as food plants for the larvae of a large number of Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera which feed on Prunus.

 Cherry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cherry (originally "cherise" reinterpreted as a plural, from the Old French word, in turn from Latin cerasum and Cerasus - i.e., the Classical name of the modern city of Giresun in Turkey) is both a tree and its fleshy fruit, a type known as a drupe with a single hard stone enclosing the seed.
The cherry belongs to the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus (along with almonds, peaches, plums, apricots and bird cherries).

 Cherry
Strange though it may seem at first to the unbotanical reader, the Cherries are classed, owing to various details in their structure, as related to that great group of plants known as the Rose tribe.
With these last the Cherries are united by botanists in the genus Prunus, a group mainly characterized by the structure of its well-known fruit, which they term a "drupe." This is simply the enlarged ovary of the flower, the calyx of which has fallen with its snowy petals.
Avium), he points out that they will readily grow straight upwards if planted close together; and, being a fast-growing tree, is therefore well adapted for planting as a "nurse" for oak--that is, for admixture with the slower-growing, but longer-lived, timber-trees, to draw them up, being subsequently felled to make room for their further development.

 Fruits
The first group encompasses at least a thousand forms derived from Prunus avium: their common characteristic is the sweet pulp of the fruit.
The geographical distribution of the two species is as follows: Prunus avium (sweet cherry) grows in the wild state in western Asia, in the area between the Caucasus, Iran, and Asia Minor; in Europe between Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, and in North Africa.
Prunus avium is thought to have originated in the Caucasus and Asia Minor; later, certainly before the introduction of agriculture, it spread throughout Europe.

The bait plant tests with woody Prunus avium ‘F12/1’ and herbaceous indicators did not provide evidence for vector-less soil transmission of PNRSV and/or PDV.
With non-flowering Prunus plants also the hypothesis of extrafloral virus transmission by insects feeding on nectaries of virus infected individuals and transferring the virus particles to nectaries of healthy plants was proposed.
This was investigated by caging bumblebees with infected Prunus trees and virusfree Prunus avium ‘F12/1’.

Inheritance and linkage studies were conducted with microsatellite and AFLP markers in a F1 progeny including 127 individuals of a cross between sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars "Regina" and "Lapins".
For mapping, 91 Prunus microsatellites were tested for polymorphism and 28 segregated in the progeny.
The comparison with the reference Prunus map obtained with the F2 population from the interspecific cross between "Texas" almond and "Earlygold" peach allowed the identification of seven homologous linkage groups.

 CHARACTERIZATION OF XYLEM VESSELS IN SWEET CHERRIES (PRUNUS AVIUM L.) ON DWARFING ROOTSTOCKS
Interspecific hybrid rootstocks for sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) have been introduced to reduce plant height and increase productivity.
Historical work on apples (Malus spp.), citrus (Citrus spp.), and some Prunus species indicate possible mechanisms: graft incompatibility; presence of virus; incomplete formation of vascular elements during healing of graft wounds; and hormonal or phenolic interactions between scion and rootstock.
Trees were bud-grafted using ‘Rainier’ (scion) on Gisela 5 (Gi 5, 148/2; Prunus cerasus x Prunus canescens; most dwarfing), Gisela 6 (Gi 6, 148/1, P. cerasus x P. canescens), and Colt (P.

 LOCALISATION OF CHERRY LEAF ROLL VIRUS IN PRUNUS AVIUM X P. PSEUDOCERASUS ROOTSTOCKS
Previous work has shown that Prunus avium x P. pseudocerasus hybrid cherry rootstocks are resistant to infection when inoculated with cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) by P. avium bark grafts, and Cropley suggested that this resistance might be caused by a hypersensitive reaction of these hybrid rootstocks to CLRV.
The virus was readily transmitted from bud, leaf, flower and all bark extracts of F12/1 plants similarly inoculated with the same virus isolate.
The localized necrotic reaction of these rootstocks to this strain of CLRV resembles the reaction of Shirofugen cherry to Prunus necrotic ringspot and prune dwarf viruses, but these two viruses caused no local lesions in the stems of P. avium x P. pseudocerasus hybrid rootstocks, and the viruses became systemic.

Prunus avium (bird cherry) is native to Central Europe, occurring as solitary trees or groups of only a few trees in hardwood forests.
While there are numerous polymorphisms between the different Prunus species growing in Central Europe, only a few are present within Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus (sour cherry).
One polymorphism differentiates between two groups of cultivated cherry varieties, with one group being identical to the Austrian bird cherries investigated to date.
