  • Micropropagation of Pyrus rootstocks

    Creator:
    Yeo, Dennis
    Abstract:
    The availability of new pear rootstocks could be increased by development of an efficient micropropagation system. Many P. calleryana, P. betulifolia and P. communis rootstocks are resistant to many pear diseases and are graft compatible with leading cultivars.

  • Water partitioning and respiration activity of dormant grape buds

    Creator:
    Gardea, Alfonso A.
    Abstract:
    Dormancy of 'Pinot Noir' grapevines was characterized. Primary buds required ca 300 cumulative chilling hours (CCH) to initiate the transition from endodormancy to ecodormancy, which occurred in mid November. Additional chilling, up to 1000 CCH, improved budbreak. Changes in bud water content were estimated by gravimetric and spectroscopic methods. Total,...
