caladiums used as pot or landscape plants is determined primarily by leaf characteristics. Improving leaf characteristics or generating new combinations of them has been one of the most important objectives in caladium breeding and cultivar development
many other outstanding rootstock characteristics. As a consequence, use of HLB-tolerant rootstocks is considered one of the most effective tools currently available to combat the disease. After new rootstocks are tested and released, one of the first
large extent in Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) where the climate is adequately warm but mild. Indeed, the highest producers by volume are Brazil and Oceania, followed by East Africa and the remaining Latin American countries. The potential for
(measured here as leaf width) is also an important characteristic used in the development of new turfgrass cultivars. Fine leaf texture is typically correlated with higher shoot density in mowed turf situations ( Bashaw and Funk, 1987 ; Turgeon, 1999
suggest Corylus contains 11 species ( Bassil et al., 2013 ; Erdogan and Mehlenbacher, 2000 ). Of these species, cultivated forms of C. avellana produce the largest nuts with the most desirable kernel characteristics with the remaining species
