Leucanthemum x superbum (Bergmans ex J. W. Ingram) D. H. Kent
In Leucanthemum x superbum, the bud is a descriptive trait for cultivar identification rather than a quantitative measure. Evaluation involves visual characteristics of sepals and petals, as well as phenological observations of developmental stages.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Shasta daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.
During variety trials of Shasta daisy, qualitative traits such as the color and pubescence of sepals at the bud stage, as well as the coloration of petal tips, are subject to recording. These parameters are used for primary cultivar identification, for instance, when describing pigmentation intensity or specific coloring in individual cultivars.
The condition of the buds plays a key role in the agronomy and breeding of the crop. Moisture deficit during their formation leads to bud abortion or delayed flowering. Phenological observation of bud appearance and opening serves as a basic method for assessing developmental uniformity and a cultivar's resistance to environmental conditions.
