Abstrakt: Pollinating apple cultivars twice with compatible pollen at an interval of one or two days produced about twice as many seeds per pollinated flower as a single pollination. With the aid of scab- or mildew resistant ‘marker pollen’, it could be shown that the second pollen formed on average twice as many seeds as the first. The first pollen appears to ‘pave the way’-partly at its own cost-for the second and was therefore called ‘pioneer pollen’.
