Foliage refers to the leafy parts of a tree or plant. "Don't eat the foliage on the rhubarb plant because the leaves are poisonous and eating them can be fatal; the stems, on the other hand, are tasty." The noun foliage refers to leaves — either individual leaves or the collective leafy canopy of many trees or plants.

Breeding foliage
- 2. BREEDING OBJECTIVES FOR ALL FOLIAGE PLANTS A. Phenotypic Traits • Because the value of foliage plants lies in the esthetic qualities, the improvement of ornamental traits, such as plant form, leaf shape, texture, plant height, shape, thickness, and color, as well as growth rate, has always been important to any breeding program of foliage plants.
- 3. 1. Foliar Variegation and Colors. • Variegated plants comprise about one-third of the ornamental plants grown commercially (Betrock 1996). Due to their magnificent multicolored leaves, variegated foliage plants, such as Aglaonema, Calathea, Chlorophytum, Cordyline, Dieffenbachia, Dracaena, and Syngonium, are widely used in interior plantscapes. 2. Leaf Shape and Size; Petiole Colors. • Some characteristic leaf shapes and sizes are particularly attractive and striking. Changes in leaf size and shape can create new and exciting appearances in hybrids and in aroids; such traits are under multigenic control.
- 4. 3. Plant Form. • Plant overall form has always been an important trait in foliage plants. There are six principal groups Upright eg Dracaena fragrans ‘Massangeana Compact or Clumping eg Anthurium and Dieffenbachia Trailing eg Hedera helix and Ficus pumila Climbing eg Monstera deliciosa, and Philodendron scandens oxycardium Standards eg Ficus benjamina Architectural eg Chamaerops humilis, 4. Flowers. Breeding objectives concerning flowering foliage plants are to increase flower number and longevity and to expand the range of flower colors.
- 5. 5. Fragrance. 6. Growth Rate. B. Stress-related Traits 1. Adaptation to Interior Environments. • The ability of foliage plants to adapt to interior environments and maintain their esthetic appearance is one of the most important traits. • Cultivars with better interior performance could be potential parents for breeding future hybrids. 2. Disease and Insect Resistance. • Foliage plant production requires a warm and humid environment. These are ideal conditions for rapid increase and spread of bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases • The best long-term solution is the development of cultivars that resist infestation in interior environments.
- 6. 3. Temperature Tolerance. • Because of their tropical or subtropical origin, foliage plants are sensitive to chilling temperatures. • Use of resistant cultivars may greatly reduce chilling injury instances during production and transportation and also conserve energy used during the greenhouse production phase.
- 7. ORIGIN OF NEW CULTIVARS There are three main avenues for new foliage plant cultivars to enter the commercial trade: (1) Plant acquisition and introduction, (2) Selection of natural and induced mutations from established cultivars. (3) Hybridization and progeny selection.
- 8. Plant Acquisition and Introduction • Plant acquisition and introduction played important roles in the initial development of the foliage plant industry and will continue to be important in introducing new species and improving existing cultivars by providing germplasm for breeding.
- 9. 1. Plant Acquisition. • There are two avenues of obtaining new foliage germplasm, direct collection from the wild (usually done in conjunction with knowledgeable botanical garden personnel or avid private collectors) or acquisition of established material from botanic gardens or private collectors.
- 10. 2. Evaluation and Utilization of New Introductions. • Most newly collected foliage plants need to be systematically evaluated. This process may be an individual or joint effort between collectors, growers, and/or researchers. Evaluation of a newly collected plant prior to release includes taxonomic identification, methods of propagation, cultivation, and assessment of ornamental value.
- 11. B. Mutations from Vegetative Propagation • Mutant clones or sports have been widely used in foliage plant production as a source of new cultivars. Since most foliage plants are propagated vegetatively, spontaneous mutations may accumulate throughout consecutive generations, and offshoots or cuttings generated from the mutated cells may develop into mutant clones. • Spontaneous somatic mutations are often called bud mutations, bud sports, or sports (van Harten 1998).
- 12. 2. Somaclonal Variant Selection • In addition to sports commonly observed in those traditional vegetatively propagated foliage plants, another form of somatic variation or genetic instability occurs in tissue culture and has been termed somaclonal variation (Larkin and Scowcroft 1981). • Compared to spontaneous somatic mutations, somaclonal variations usually occur at much higher frequencies.
- 13. C. Hybridization • Foliage plants are predominantly cross- pollinating species. Parents used in foliage plant hybridization are not usually derived from inbred, single-seed descent, or pedigree selection, because inbreeding depression limits development of inbred lines in most foliage plant genera. • Interspecific hybridization is the most common practice in producing hybrid cultivars in foliage plant breeding. Interspecific hybridization offers opportunities for obtaining gene recombinations and expands the range of genetic variability beyond that of a single species.
- 14. D. Transgene Technology • Transgene technology has been proven to be a powerful method of altering crop characteristics (Hansen and Wright 1999) and should be particularly useful in foliage plant improvement. Foliage plants are not edible and are valued by their esthetic appearance. Transgenic foliage plants would not cause genetic contamination of other crops because most are vegetatively propagated. However, application of transgene technology in foliage plants is quite limited. Anthurium is probably the only foliage plant being successfully transformed.
