ISBN: 9781390439700 - inheritance of composition in fruit through vegetative propagation: bud variants of eureka and lisbon lemons (classic reprint) (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides valuable data from a scientific study on citrus fruit and the effects of grafting on various citrus species. The author examines the physical and chemical composition of lemons belonging to distinct strains of the Eureka and Lisbon varieties. The research seeks to determine whether the unique traits of parent trees are genetically passed on to offspring trees through vegetative propagation. The author discusses experimental procedures, differences in composition, and the potential for using bud selection to improve citrus varieties for specific purposes like oil or acid production. The findings have implications for both citrus growers and plant breeders, offering insights into the inheritance of fruit characteristics like rind thickness, oil content, and acidity. Ultimately, this book contributes to the understanding of how to enhance citrus quality through selective breeding practices.
