Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation A capitulum accumulated fewer than 20 newly opened florets daily for more than 15 days.
- Observation Kumamotonokagayaki had 210 to 330 florets per capitulum.
- Observation Snowball had 220 to 290 florets per capitulum.
- Observation Purple Zem had 160 to 240 florets per capitulum.
- Association Tubular floret numbers were negatively correlated with ray floret numbers.
- Recommendation Maintaining a high proportion of double-flowered plants may decrease seed yield.
