Popis: | The impact of cross pollination 30 h, 4 h, and immediately prior to self-pollination, and self-pollination 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 30 h prior to cross-pollination was assessed for pollen tube number per style, seed number per siliqua, and proportion of self-seed (sibs) per siliqua, in two inbred lines of brussels sprout. Pollination procedure had a marked effect on the amount of sib-and hybrid seed produced. Cross pollination 30 h prior to self-pollination produced significantly greater numbers of sib progeny, as did self-pollination 8–12 h before cross pollination. Prior application of self pollen reduces the number of pollen tubes in the style. The results of this experiment suggest that self-incompatibility in brussels sprout could better be assessed by self-pollination with a subsequent cross pollination 8 h later, and the determination of amounts of sib and F1 hybrid seed per siliqua. |
