Question

Dormant buds are used for _____________________​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dormant budwood twigs are harvested from the previous season’s growth of field-grown apple trees (Fig. 1; Video 1). In the USDA, budwood is derived from trees grown in Geneva, NY in January, ideally after temperatures have been below 0 oC for a few days. The harvested twigs are 5-7 mm in diameter, have about 10 nodal sections each, and should total 17-20 twigs (170-200 nodal sections) per accession; appropriate budwood is shown in Figure 2, in contrast to the material shown in Figure 3. The budwood is packaged in bundles and sent by overnight courier to NLGRP. It is kept at -5 oC in sealed plastic bags for up to a few weeks until it is used for cryopreservation.
