definition of backcross A backcross in anthuriums or other plants is a breeding method in which an offspring of a particular cross is crossed again with one of its parents. The aim of this method i...
Wavelengths of Light for Anthuriums
Light of different wavelengths has a significant influence on the physiological and biochemical processes in plants, especially on photosynthesis and photomorphogenetic development. The wavelengths...
The term UMOL (µmol) describes the amount of photons (light quanta) that hit a surface in a certain period of time and are in the range of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). PAR covers wave...
Cataphylls are specialized leaf structures that take on special functions and therefore differ from true leaves ("euphylls") in form and function. In anthuriums, cataphylls are usually protective ...
Topcut / Midcut / Basecut (Buttcut)
For example, to propagate an anthurium vegetatively, i.e. without using seeds, pollen and flowers, stem division is often used. To do this, the trunk is inspected to determine where and whether gr...
The branch generation is a term that, in its application, numerically designates and orders the different generations of descendants. The "F" in these generational designations stands for "filius,...
Ineditus (=ined.). Latin for "not published". This means that a name is planned or has already been established, but a corresponding scientific publication is still pending or is currently in prog...
