These two trees of the variety Crispen (Mutzu) have been planted at the same time but have different root systems. The dwarfing root system is more productive, precocious, disease resistant and requires less pesticide and labor.
***Objective***
To develop new productive, disease resistant apple rootstocks using modern selection techniques.**2020 PGRU Vegetable Crop Germplasm-NE9-Presentation (MS PowerPoint)**/ARSUserFiles/80600500/images/Current-PGRU-Research-Images/PGRU-National Plant Germplasm.pngPGRU-National Plant Germplasm (MS PowerPoint)High-throughput Genotyping of Vegetable Crops for Germplasm Conservation (MS PowerPoint)2017 Envirothon Advisors Tour (MS PowerPoint)How to Find the Seeds You Need (MS PowerPoint)  .......................................................................................................................................................................................................
