Title: Heritability of Flowering and Harvest Dates in Vaccinium corymbosum L.
Authors: J.F. Hancock, M. Sakin and P.A. Callow
Abstract:
Six highbush cultivars with varying flowering dates and fruit development periods were crossed in a diallel fashion to measure the heritability of flowering and harvest dates. Sig nificant levels of general combining ability were observed for both of the traits, along with high levels of heritability. 'Bluejay' and 'Spartan' show promise as parents which can both delay flowering and hasten harvest.
