PLANT MORPHOLOGY
Plant form shrub, Tree. Mature plant growth habit
Prostrate (to be recorded in fully mature plants).
Branching habit
Intermediate(recorded simultaneously with plant height).
Thorniness
Absent (Recorded the comparative thorn density on mature Plant).
Branching of thorn
Non-branched(Recorded simultaneously with plant height).
Immature steam colour Brown (Recorded on immature stem, 5cm before the stem tip – Rusty Brown). Mature steam colour Brown (Recorded on main stem, 25 cm above the soil). Silver scale on steam Absent (Recorded on new shoot growth). Stellate hairiness on 0,1,3 Stem bark Not remove (NR). Young branches - Stem shape
Rounded (Recorded from the main branch, 15cm above the soil).
QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS
Plant height (cm) 3 m (Recorded as the length from soil level to topmost portion in the canopy centre exactly above the main trunk). Canopy width (cm)
2.5m (recorded simultaneously with plant height as the max. Canopy diagonal in a horizontal planes –Two directions East-West and North-South).
Inter-branch distanc
Record the mean distance between 5 mature branches from the main stem at base of the plant above 30 cm ground. This character is recommended only when the accessions under evolution have a common geographical origin, otherwise the different rate induced by varying growth condition will not represent the true genetic variability
LEAF CHARACTERS
No. of leaves attached at single point More than three (To be recorded at immature fruit stage). Upper Leaf Surface (Adaxial Side)
Rough, Leathery (Recorded at immature fruit stage).
Lower Leaf Surface (Adaxial Side) Non shiny Colour of abaxial side Brownish Green. Colour of leaf midrib on the abaxial side Cream, Yellowish white (To be recorded at green fruit stage) Phyllotaxy (arrangement of leaves) whorled ( (Recorded on the 10cm of branch). Adaxial leaf surface colour Dark green, Dark green with black tinage Leaf tip Shape Acute. Leaf margins Smooth.
Leaf senescence nature Non-Deciduous even after winter. Stellate hair beneath the leaves Absent. Leaf attachment to stem Pedicellate. Sliver scales on the leaves
Absent
Leaf venation Reticulate.
QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS
Leaf Length (cm) 7.51 cm (Recorded as mean length of 10 leaves from the base of secondary fruit bearing branches. Length is measured from the base to the tip of the leaf blade). Leaf width (cm) 2.93 cm (To be recorded on the same leaves used for the measurement of leaf length. Width is measured at the widest portion of the leaf). Leaf pedicel length (mm) 1.2 mm (To be recorded on same leave used for the measurement of the leaf length). Leaf weight 0.8758 g
FLOWER CHARACTERS
(Qualitative Characters)
Flower Colour Red (To be recorded at full ripe stage). Flower maturing month April, May, June, and July (recorded at max. Fruit of plant matures). Flower arrangement on Alternate Shape of the flower tip Depressed (To be recorded at full fruit maturity). Density of flower bearing Intermediate (Recorded at full ripe stage) Flower stylar end Persistent style (To be recorded at full ripe stage), Persistent style. Flower length (cm) 3.84 cm (Recorded mean length of fully mature fruits randomly harvested from a single plant. To be recorded on a min. Of 10 randomly selected samples) Flower width (mm) 2.7 mm (Record on the same fruits used for measuring the fruits length. Width is recorded at the widest portion of the fruit.) Flower weight (g) - Flower peduncle length (mm) 0.94 mm (To be recorded as mean peduncle length of 10 randomly). Secondary branches - Flower Inflorescence -
STEM CHARACTER
(Qualitative Characters)
