Title: A Method for Blind Node Evaluation
Authors: U. Boonprakob, D.H. Byrne and R.E. Rouse
Abstract:
A quick visual method for evaluating blind
node propensity was proposed.
The method
was based on the proportion of blind nodes on
one-year-old shoots.
The scores ranged from 1
as less than one third of the branch having blind
nodes, to 9 as greater than two thirds of the
branch having olind nodes.
The correlation
coefficient (r) of actual percentage of blind
nodes was 0.84 indicating that this method will
be usefull to evaluate peach germplasm for
blind node propensity.
