had crowns larger than 8 or 10 mm. The early planting for each cultivar corresponded with the time that the transplants are first available from the strawberry nurseries. ‘Florida Fortuna’ known as ‘Florida Radiance’ in the United States was developed
., 2012 ). Additionally, SSRs have been used to demonstrate that well-known cultivars such as Picual and Arbequina are self-incompatible ( DÃaz et al., 2006b ). As a consequence, paternity testing with SSRs is considered a very useful tool in olive
early 1980s, commercial farm land devoted to this specialty crop was estimated at 4000 acres ( Olein, 1990 ). Although early muscadine grape cultivars (e.g., Scuppernong) were selected from wild populations, plant breeders have steadily improved
In dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.), growth form, i.e., determinate vs. indeterminate, and growth habit, i.e., upright/erect/bushy vs. viny/prostate, are among the most important characteristics for classifying cultivars from an agronomic
exist, the popularity of this tree has led to the development of many cultivars. New cultivars are either developed from mutations or sports of other cultivars, or from the selection of wild dogwood trees for various horticultural traits ( Witte et al
Basil is a popular genus in the mint family (Lamiaceae) with more than 30 species currently identified ( Simon et al., 1999 ) and a constantly increasing number of cultivars ( Paton, 1992 ). Basil species and cultivars vary widely in their
An international breeding program has an ongoing requirement to reliably identify their cultivars to maintain correct material during propagation and for enforcement of plant breeders’ rights. The sweet cherry breeding program from the Summerland

distribution of A. triloba overlaps with that of some subtropical Asimina species, and introgression may have occurred. From 1900 to 1950, over 50 pawpaw cultivars were selected from the wild and named; however, only two remain: ‘Sweet Alice' and
). Although peach appears to favor its native temperate cool dry climate and well-drained soil, diverse cultivars developed around the world have expanded the adaptability to a wide range of climatic and edaphic conditions from subtropical to subarctic zones
