Abstract
Abstract The selection is a process in which the best genotypes are chosen according to the desired characteristics for the specific use of the plant. Novelty, health, particular characteristics of each market and, increasingly, the low environmental impact of its production, are valued. One of the most questionable points in the selection of ornamental plants is the fact that beauty is subjective. To reduce subjectivity, breeders have chosen to delimit the selection criteria previously, generating a ranking and assigning values to each of the characters for the new cultivar. The selection criteria and traits to be evaluated depend on the use for which the crop is intended: cut flowers and foliage, pot plants, and landscape plants. In addition, the selection of functional plants (green walls and curtains, green roofs and ecological function plants) have their own criteria.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
