Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association The incidence of triple cotyledons in peach seedlings was significantly influenced by cultivar.
- Mechanism Multiple stems in peach seedlings could be caused by multiple seeds or by multiple stems from cotyledonary axils.
- Association The incidence of both traits in peach seedlings was heavily influenced by genotype.
- Association The incidence of double seeds varied among cultivars of peach.
- Association Average size of seeds from stones with double seeds was significantly smaller than for single seeds.
- Association Smaller double seeds were associated with poorer germination in peach.
- Association Smaller double seeds were associated with reduced speed of germination in peach.
- Association Smaller double seeds were associated with reduced growth rates in peach.
- Recommendation Selection on the basis of stone size cannot be used to select out stones containing double kernels in peach.
- Recommendation Elimination of multiple shoots and double seeds from peach seedlings would reduce rootstock production costs.
- Recommendation Removing plants that exhibit multiple shoots or double seeds from the production system can achieve their elimination in peach.
- Recommendation Clonally propagating peach trees free of multiple shoots and double seeds is recommended.
