Title: Verification of the True ´Witte` Pecan and Naming of the ´Martzahn` Cultivar
Authors: L.J. Grauke, T.E. Thompson, B. Reid and W.A. Gustafson
Abstract:
A discrepancy in the identification of the pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] cultivar
'Witte' has been resolved by a combination of techniques, including comparison of voucher specimens
and evaluation records, supplemented by isozyme analysis.
The origin of the error is traced in hopes of
extricating accurate cultivar evaluation information on the historic cultivar, from evaluation records of
a previously unnamed accession.
A name, 'Martzahn', is given to that accession to facilitate separation
of the two entities.
