Pollen–pistil interaction in self-pollinated and sib pollinated flowers of sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea L.)
Abstract:Pollen pistil interaction studies were carried out in six sunnhemp genotypes. Pollen viability percentage of the six genotypes ranged from 0.0 to 93.5% and pollen germination ranged from 0.0 to 84.0% at four different floral stages starting from bud to opening of a flower. The viable pollen grains were present at the later three stages of flower for globose type anthers, while the pollen grains were viable at the later two floral stages for heart shaped anthers. Stigma receptivity was high to very high during … Show more
