Abstract

Inbreeding coefficients and coefficients of coancestry were calculated for low chill requiring, short fruit development period (FDP) peaches released from the University of Florida (UF) breeding program. Inbreeding was relatively low for most cultivars as were coefficients of coancestry for most parental combinations. The UF cultivars represent a diverse pool of germplasm with potential for commercial production or for extending the genetic base of breeding programs in the tropical highlands and subtropics.
