No fruits were obtained in the emasculated and bagged flowers, which fell soon after the treatment, indicating the absence of agamospermy for this species. |
In the bagged experiment, fruitlet formation was never observed, suggesting that no agamospermy takes place, and that pollination is critical for fruit set. |
The breeding system of T. sinense is mixed with self-pollination and out-crossing, with no indication of agamospermy. |
In addition, pollination experiments showed that fruit set of T. sinense in natural population was limited by pollinators, and there is no agamospermy. |
Artificial pollination experiments showed that T. sinense is self-compatible, with facultative xenogamy and no indication of agamospermy. |
