Use of X-Ray Mutagenesis to Increase Genetic Diversity of <em>Zantedeschia aethiopica</em> for Early Flowering, Improved Tolerance to Bacterial Soft Rot and Higher Yield
2021-11-30
Abstract excerpt
The development of new cultivars is important for the profitability of the floriculture industry. There are a limited number of cultivars of Zantedeschia aethiopica, an iconic ornamental cut flower, garden plant, and potted plant, due to the incompatibility of interspecific crossings within the genus. Most present-day varieties are the result of spontaneous mutations or classical breeding within the species, follo...
