Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation PM 143 gave results similar to C. moschata cv. Seoul-Dadagi in pollen tube growth, fruit set and seed production in interspecific crosses.
- Association C. moschata x C. maxima showed reciprocal differences in pollen tube growth, fruit set and seed production.
- Association PM x C. maxima showed reciprocal differences in pollen tube growth, fruit set and seed production.
- Association C. maxima x C. pepo showed reciprocal differences in pollen tube growth, fruit set and seed production.
- Mechanism Differences in seed production between reciprocal crosses are a result of differences in pollen tube growth and embryo development after fertilization.
