| In the experiments in Table 1, pricking of an anther and the ovary induced dehiscence whereas cutting or piercing of the glumes did not. |
| The whole perianth was colored, the anther dehiscence was extrorse, the stigma was subulate, and the perianth was hexamerous. |
| In maize, the stomium is located at the meeting point of the two loculi that make up each half anther. |
| Females produced more pollen per anther than males, and pollen size was the same in both sexes. |
| Florets were removed from the middle third of the main rachis on fully emerged tassels prior to anther exsertion. |
| This indicates that similar mechanisms may trigger anther dehiscence in rice and two-rowed barley. |
