Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Compact growth habit was identified in populations of Cuphea leptopoda.
- Observation A single recessive gene designated si conditioned the primary morphological effect.
- Mechanism Short internodes in compact plants reduced main stem length.
- Mechanism Short internodes reduced the number and length of primary and secondary branches.
- Mechanism Short internodes reduced flowering through fewer flowers per node.
