713 pollinations produced a total of 620 embryos, of which 34.4 % died on the culture medium. All the progenies attaining full growth proved to have resulted from self‐pollination. Under greenhouse conditions only diploid red clover retained its strong self‐incompatibility: pollinations made on it produced no progenies. Nonetheless, the pollinated inflorescences produced as many globular embryos as did those of alsike or of the tetraploid clovers. These globular embryos, which died on the culture medium, were probably hybrids whose development was arrested at the globular stage by strong post‐fertilization crossing barriers between red and alsike clovers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
