calculate optimal selection rates, maximize genetic gain rates, and choose the most appropriate selection system ( Silva-Cifuentes et al., 2011 ). The extent of genetic variability is of paramount importance for crop improvement because greater genetic

surface and allows extending the productive period over several years ( Kester and Gradziel, 1996 ). As a consequence, our objective was to evaluate the variability and stability of flower bud density and number of flowers buds per spurs in almond to

morphological and genetic variability in the material derived from clonal selection. The main objective of the present study has been the characterization and identification of the genetic material included in the OCARICY collection using up-to-date molecular

limited information is available on the extent of variability present for fruit characteristics of accessions within existing germplasm collections of C. baccatum . This study was conducted to examine the variability for mature fruit morphologic

mass, with its variability in physicochemical composition, presents different levels of apparent soil EC ( Machado et al., 2015 ). In view of these facts, this research aimed: a) to analyze the variability of the studied attributes of the plant and the

extensive variability from which increased vigor, green color retention, taller seed stalks, and increased disease-resistant types could be selected ( Beetle, 1950 ). However, the level of improvement that can be achieved through hybridization is not well

( Bettiol Neto et al., 2011 ). Previous studies showed that quince cultivars have high genetic variability ( Kafkas et al., 2015 ; Orhan et al., 2014 ); hence, the characterization of productive cultivars with high horticultural potential for cultivation in

angled dual planar architecture; 3) KGB, a multileader bush; 4) CL; and 5) MLOC, low density of trees comprised of three to five main leaders. To eliminate variability among pickers, a consistent commercial picking crew was used ( Table 1 ) in each

TP at harvest responded to salinity treatments ( P ≤ 0.05; Table 3 ). Species did have a significant effect on TP; however, only in Trial 1 was there an interaction between treatment and species on TP. Table 4 shows the variability of the at

Minnesota's Horticultural Research Center in Chanhassen, MN (lat. 44°52′ N, long. 93°36′ W). Criteria for inclusion were number of fruit-bearing genotypes, variability in texture traits among genotypes (observed in previous years), reciprocal crosses within
