trees of OSU 954.076 and asked to comment on its suitability as a landscape plant. These comments supplemented the notes recorded by the hazelnut breeding program and led to its release as ‘Burgundy Lace’. Description Descriptions are based on plants 5
Hazelnuts, of the family Betulaceae, are deciduous wind-pollinated, monoecious, self-incompatible nut-bearing shrubs ( Gürcan et al., 2010a ). More than 20 species have been described that are widely distributed throughout temperate regions of the
incidence of EFB. The name ‘McDonald’ honors the contributions in many capacities of Peter G. McDonald (deceased) to the Oregon hazelnut industry, the Oregon State University (OSU) hazelnut breeding program, and a long list of other noteworthy causes. He was
European hazelnut belongs to the family Betulaceae, which is one of eight families of the Order Fagales. Betulaceae, which includes six genera and ≈140 species, is subdivided into two clades, Betuloideae and Coryloideae. Betuloideae includes
commercial production of gooseberries ( Beyer and Roser, 1989 ; Pluta et al., 2010 ). To develop new gooseberry cultivars, a basic understanding of the feasibility of selecting and breeding for the trait of interest from the available variation present in
Most almond breeding programs have fostered the development of self-compatible cultivars to overcome the problems related to cross-pollination of this mostly self-incompatible species ( Socias i Company, 2002 ). Consequently, self
rest appear to have been lost through neglect or abandonment of collections, or cannot be identified due to loss of records. Since 1950, additional pawpaw cultivars have been selected from the wild or developed as a result of breeding efforts of
defined as the reduction in biological fitness in a given population as a result of inbreeding or breeding of related individuals. Similar results were found in almonds ( Torre-Grossa et al., 1994 ), hazelnuts ( Fattahi et al., 2014 ), and pecans
Length of the juvenile phase seems to be the main obstacle of the fruit tree breeding program because of the land area required for breeding plots, the fact that it is time-consuming, and costly nursery management, all restricting breeding
