Application of Architectural Analysis and AMAPmod Methodology to Study Dwarfing Phenomenon: the Branch Structure of ‘Royal Gala’ Apple Grafted on Dwarfing and Non‐dwarfing Rootstock/Interstock Combinations

Application of architectural analysis to study dwarfing phenomenon in apples

A dynamic interpretation of plant architecture can be made without long-term observation once a correlation between growth and structure is established. Seleznyova et al. (665-672) apply architectural analysis to study effects of rootstock/interstock combinations on branch development. They show that M9 dwarfing rootstock dramatically reduces amount of neoformation in annual shoots.
