is an important breeding objective for multiflora chrysanthemum. Flowering time, an important adaptive trait that strongly influences planting area and productivity and the market price of cultivated plants, is affected by both endogenous and

Breeding is one of the most efficient methods for managing abiotic stress. Some abiotic stresses directly reduce growth. Others affect development in a way that reduces or eliminates the crop's value. An example of the latter is superoptimal

. Few breeding programs have developed cultivars with MFF in mind. The notable exceptions are from the North Carolina State University breeding program, where several cultivars (i.e., Reveille, Bladen, Craven, Pamlico, Lenoir, Carteret, and Beaufort

fumigant methyl bromide as their major management strategies for soilborne pathogens, including Fof . Outbreaks of fusarium wilt were relatively uncommon under a regime of methyl bromide fumigation so that neither the disease nor resistance breeding was

To be successful, a breeding program has to be able to track all its seedlings at every stage of testing and to ensure that the origin of each seedling product (e.g., fruit) tested is correctly recorded. The Washington State University apple
