Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Microvine main shoot lignification was delayed relative to macrovines.
- Intervention effect The Vvgai1 mutation did not affect leaf carbon assimilation rate.
- Observation Macrovines reached adult phyllotaxis and first tendril at lower node rank than microvines.
- Observation Microvines produced first perfect flowers from internode 18 within months, while macrovines produced none in the first vegetative cycle.
- Observation Sex type segregation confirmed heterozygosity at the sex determining locus of V. labrusca cv. Isabella.
- Association Opposite-to-leaves organ proportions suggested complex genetic determination of that trait.
