(1) Background: Considering the serious damage caused by castration and the extremely high outcrossing rate in nature, we hypothesized that artificial controlled pollination of black locust without castration could be conducted for hybridization breeding. (2) Methods: The study conducted controlled pollination on 20 mating combinations of black locust without castration using a single or mixed male parent. Offspring of different developmental stages and the leaves of parents were collected to extract DNA and perform paternity analysis using SSR molecular markers. (3) Results: The contribution rate of each male parent differed according to developmental stage after pollination using different pollens mixed in equal proportions. There were significant correlations between the genetic similarity between each male parent and female parent and contribution rate of each male parent at three different developmental stages after pollination. (4) Conclusions: The composition of offspring pollen donors showed no bias toward selfing or outcrossing when artificially pollinated without castration. Hybrid breeding of black locust by artificially controlled pollination without castration may not be feasible, given that our manual method resulted in a large number of abortive and abnormal offspring. Introduction of honeybees in a limited space to conduct controlled pollination of black locust for hybrid breeding may be feasible. |
