Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Cuttings from in vitro-derived plum stockplant hedges rooted at greater percentages than conventional-source cuttings nine years after transfer to the field.
- Intervention effect In vitro-derived plum stockplant cuttings produced more roots than conventional-source cuttings.
- Intervention effect Severe winter pruning enhanced rooting of conventional and in vitro-derived plum cuttings compared with lighter pruning.
- Observation The benefit of severe pruning was similar to the benefit of an in vitro-derived source.
- Observation Cuttings from severely pruned, in vitro-derived plum stockplants had the highest rooting level.
- Intervention effect Roots developed earlier in in vitro-derived and severely pruned plum cuttings than in conventional and lightly pruned cuttings.
- Observation Higher rooting potential was more consistent between years in proximal winter cuttings from completed shoots than distal summer cuttings from actively growing shoots.
- Intervention effect Shoot apices from in vitro-derived field plum stockplants initially grew more vigorously in culture than conventional-source apices.
