Pseudo-xenic Effect of Allied Annona spp. Pollen in Hand Pollination of cv. ‘Arka Sahan’ [(A. cherimola × A. squamosa) × A. squamosa]

Abstract: Annonaceous fruits are characterized by a serious problem of fruit set, and hand pollination is commonly practiced for improving the set. Because we observed that allied Annona spp. are freely crossable and often produce attractive Fo fruits, the possibility of using their pollen in hand pollination was investigated. A total of 1080 flowers of cv. Arka Sahan in 2003 and 3420 in 2004 were pollinated with A. atemoya Hort., Show more

“…The parents of the cross produce fruits weighing as much as 500-600 g, but the mean fruit weight of the fruit produced by the progenies was very low. This result can be explained by the earlier findings of Jalikop and Kumar (2007), who noted that pollen of interspecific Annona hybrids have a higher proportion of tetrads and a low proportion of fertile grains; when this pollen was used in hand pollination, low-weight fruits were produced. Fruits of A. reticulata have a stout stalk (13.4 mm), which is in contrast to atemoya (4.6 mm), but none of the offspring had fruit stalks measuring more than 7.1 mm in diameter which was, by far, less than the mid-parental value.…”

“…that is shed from the anthers is incompletely formed (dyad and tetrad stages) (Peña 2003). Among the edible annonas, A. squamosa pollen has the highest concentration of viable normal grains (Sahoo et al 2000;Jalikop and Kumar 2007); hence, supplementary pollination is not practiced in this species. Subjecting F 1 progeny of (A. cherimola 9 A. squamosa) 9 A. reticulata to a backcross with A. squamosa, a highly fertile species, is expected to yield productive introgressants in which the proportion of the A. squamosa genome will be extended from 25 to 62.5% in the F 1 BC 1 progeny.…”

“…Atemoya 9 A. reticulata hybrids are relatively easy to obtain despite some field causality that possibly does not seriously distort the segregation in this interspecific cross. However poor fruit set observed in this cross combination (*20%) could be attributed to higher frequency of dyads and tetrads in the pollen of A. reticulata (Jalikop and Kumar 2007), besides involvement of three species in the cross. Selfpollination in annonas is hindered by the presence of marked protogyny (Kahn et al 1994) leading to cross pollination and as a consequence Annona spp.…”
