| Abstract: | 18 species of Eucalyptus were subjected to trials to investigate their suitability for floriculture and the effect of pruning for cut flower production. Post harvest trials were conducted to assess the vase life of cut stems, and the effect of pulsing and simulated transportation on vase life. Species of Eucalyptus were also studied for changes in wax morphology of juvenile foliage with leaf age and for variation in amount and composition of leaf epicuticular wax. Molecular markers were discovered which may facilitate the management of E. gunnii breeding and selection for the cut foliage industry, by providing an initial screen for glaucousness. 12 species were recommened for the cut foliage industry. |
