For the purpose of character transfer of soft-seedless from soft-seedless cultivars that hasn,t market favorit with comerical cultivars in Yazd province, hybridation was done. This research carried out in country pomegranate germplasm collection, since 2002 for five years, from soft-seedless gynotypes that were provided from country different locations in agricultural and natural resourse research of Yazd province. Soft_seedless gynotypes were malas-yazdy cultivar was use for female parent and male parent was gynotype that from country different locations.
