Objective:
To investigate botanical characters and yield of four cultivars of Chrysanthemum morifolium for further study on their genetic diversity and selective breeding.
Method:
The characters were observed and yield was investigated by field randomized block and analysis of variance.
Result And Conclusion:
The botanical characters are difference among four cultivars; the amount of single flower head is the main factor influencing on the output of Chrysanthemum morifolium (r = 0.925); the yield of "Hongxinju" and "Xiaobaiju" are remarkably higher than that of "Dabaiju" and "Changbanju".

Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
