Use of physiological criteria to differentiation of indigenous figs from northern Morocco

Abstract

This work is a contribution to the differentiation of cultivars of autochthones figs prospected in Northwestern of the Morocco. 96 ecotypes of fig trees prospected in northern Morocco and about 49 indigenous figs well identified. Hierarchical classification showed that the different accessions were a great variability. This diversification could enrich the genetic base of this genus and required more studies to achieve the maximum usefulness from this diversification. Physiological results will be useful in characterizing and to create the first reference and catalogue of the fig accessions.
