Abstract

 The research aims to select distinctive local apricot strains before they disappear due to their limited area and lack of spread. The selection was 6 strains that were valuable and had high traits; the selected strain was given abbreviated names Am1, Am2, Am3, Am4, Am5 and Am6. The study showed the following results, Strain Am1 was early in flowering and harvesting, while strain Am5 was the most delayed. Strain Am2 was distinguished by a reddish color with greenish sepals and the presence stipules for leaves from the rest of the strains. It also gave the highest yield and highest measurements of vegetative growth. Strain Am4 had the highest fruit weight and size. The highest fruit hardness was for strain Am5. The highest fruit TSS were for the Am1 strain. The genetic relationships among six strains and total bands with SCoT-ISSR primers revealed a sum of 68 bands. These bands were identified as 29 monomorphic and 39 polymorphic ones with polymorphic % (57.35%) and the polymorphic bands were scored as 17 unique markers.
