| Abstract:
Germplasm from 38 accessions was characterised under greenhouse conditions during the autumn-winter period in the Institute of Floriculture, INTA Castelar, Argentina. Flowering precociousness was detected in C. calycina and C. linoides and one accession of C. linearis. Plant habit variability was observed, especially in C. linoides where erect, semierect and decumbent phenotypes could be found. Most of the Calibrachoa accessions showed sprouting capacity after pruning, with the exception of C. linoides and C. helianthemoides. Genotypes suitable for breeding pot plants were selected. | |
