INDUCTION OF FLOWERING QUINCE (CYDONIA OBLONGA) AT NORTHERN LATITUDES BY GRAFTING BUDS OF JAPANESE QUINCE (CHAENOMELES JAPONICA)
An example that allows to induce flowering with subsequent fruiting is given. As an inducter for flowering, grafting buds were used. In this case, the vegetative buds Chaenomеles japonica were used. The induction of flowering with graftings was relevant in the case of the growth of Cydonia oblonga (Atbashi variety) to the north of the habitat. It was shown that the contact of the buds provided a phytohormonal status sufficient for the initiation of generative reproduction.
