Seed set was estimated as the percentage of cross-pollinated flowers that produced achenes. |
|
Utilization of hybrid vigor or heterosis has been successful in cross-pollinated crops, of which maize is a primary example. |
|
The plants to be cross-pollinated were planted in alternate rows in 5 m x 5 m plots with a row spacing of 60 cm. |
|
It can self-pollinate, which saves one from having to manually go in with a tiny brush, but it can also be cross-pollinated. |
|
Further complicating matters, corn is cross-pollinated, and corn pollen can travel fairly long distances, according to some. |
|
Apple trees are cross-pollinated, and any that grow from seed are different from their parents. |
|
Some carpels and ovules were only slightly enlarged despite the flowers being cross-pollinated by hand. |
|
Fourteen progeny plants were cross-pollinated in all combinations. |
|
And when a flower is the only show in town, there's a strong likelihood of its attracting attention and being cross-pollinated, even with few insect species around. |
|
Therefore, wild rice often absorbs genes from cultivars through hybridization since the wild progenitor tends to be cross-pollinated with its surrounding cultivars. |
|
Cross-pollinated flowers were not emasculated, and pollinations were performed by rubbing anthers onto stigmas. |
