We followed the idea that characterisation of genetic materials has to involve highly heritable morphological traits which are important for the selection and are easy for the determination. the study is based on 5-year long observations of the Slovenian and Croatian naturally grown populations and gerplasm collections. The papers describes 72 morphological traits that appear to be at last partly genetically controlled and can be used as descritors of Christmas rose genotypesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Fakulteta za kmetijstvo
