Seed production in Rosa x hybrida L.: development of fertility and dormancy markers

The yield of vital seeds in rose breeding programmes is usually low. In order to optimize breeding efficiency morphological markers to identify suitable pollen parents for high seed production are developed. The role of pollen fertility in relation to embryo development will be studied. Genetical markers, indicative for dormancy release, will also be developed.
