Abstract
Late-spring frost causes serious damage to almond flowers. The present study aimed to introduce potential cold-tolerant almond genotype(s). A cold-susceptible almond commercial cultivar and a cold-tolerant genotype were crossed. Twenty four progenies were evaluated using visual damage assessments, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, antioxidant capacity, ion leakage and pollen germination rate. The results indicated that all the parameters influenced by genotypes and temperature regimes. H24 have identified the promising cold tolerant hybrid and the elite candidate genotype for the future almond breeding programs.
