Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Adventitious shoots were induced on apical fragments of Meunier grapevine.
- Observation Apical culture yielded plants phenotypically resembling Meunier.
- Observation Apical culture yielded plants with tomentose leaves and relatively hairless sectors.
- Observation Apical culture yielded non-tomentose shoots resembling Pinot noir.
- Mechanism The adventitious buds produced by fragmented apex culture are multicellular in origin.
- Mechanism Fragmented apex culture disturbs apical tissue integrity and separates chimeral component genotypes.
- Recommendation The authors advise against fragmented apex culture when trueness-to-type is paramount.
