Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Placental pollination of clone W166H gave 3.1 and 2.9 mature seeds per ovary in self- and cross-pollination.
- Observation Germinating pollen grains were observed on clone K146BH placental explants, but neither self nor cross combination produced mature seeds.
- Observation Stylar pollination of clone W166H gave 12.2 seeds per ovary in self-pollination and 11.5 in cross-pollination.
- Observation Self and cross stylar pollination of clone K146BH gave 5.2 and 5.9 mature seeds per ovary.
- Intervention effect Stylar pollination was substantially more successful than placental pollination in producing mature seeds per ovary.
- Observation About one-fourth of the seeds from stylar pollination germinated.
- Observation Some seeds from clone K146BH detached from placentas germinated normally on agar-only medium.
