DEVELOPMENT FEATURES OF GENERATIVE BUDS OF APPLE TREE OF VARIOS MATURING DATES IN AUTUMN-WINTER PERIOD IN CONNECTION WITH WINTER HARDINESS
Anatomical and morphological studies of generative buds of the apple tree variety maturing in autumn-winter period of development are conducted. Using light microscopy 3 groups of the generative buds, varying in degree of development of anthers are identified. The relation between the degree of the development of anthers and the winter hardiness of buds is revealed.
