Breeding For Ornamentals: Classical and Molecular Approaches

“…There is, however, the question of cost. Flower breeders have also been very successful in adapting the flowering process to marginal light conditions (DeJong, 1991). Ideally, lowtemperature tolerance without an equivalent reduction in growth and quality is looked for, or alternatively, faster growth at the usual temperatures, so that reduced costs result from shortening production time.…”
