Abstract: A dissertation by Carol Diane Ragone for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Horticulture.
The dissertation discusses the morphology of breadfruit trees, with descriptions of trees, leaves, inflorescences, and fruits starting from page 24.Results and discussions cover the field collection of germplasm, establishment in a greenhouse, and establishment of a permanent collection starting from page 41. Methodologies include traditional airlayering techniques (Figure 2.1) and shoot development from root sections (Figure 2.2).
The work also characterizes the collection with respect to isozyme variation, chromosome numbers, and major morphological features. Additionally, geographic locations such as the Philippines, Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, and Tonga are noted in the research, which may relate to the origins or sites of collection for the germplasm.
