Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource The combined indices efficiently predicted and classified apple genotype flowering behavior, with some misclassifications.
- Observation One QTL was highlighted for flowering synchronicity.
- Mechanism Flowering irregularity resulted from high annual shoot synchronism.
- Mechanism Regular flowering resulted from asynchronous, locally alternating annual shoot flowering.
- Mechanism Regular flowering also resulted from continual regular annual shoot flowering.
- Method / resource The proposed axis sampling and indices method efficiently evaluates breeding values for flowering regularity and may transfer to other species.
