Examples
Both species use a mixed breeding system, consisting of xenogamy, geitonogamy, and autogamy.
Artificial pollination experiments showed that T. sinense is self-compatible, with facultative xenogamy and no indication of agamospermy.
Fruits produced by autogamy and geitonogamy had larger size and lower seed number and mass than those derived from natural pollination and xenogamy.
However, the fruit set, seed mass and germinate rate from autogamy are significantly lower than that from xenogamy and control.
Likewise, there was no difference between the xenogamy treatment and corresponding controls.
Treatment O was conducted to examine xenogamy through artificial pollination using pollen from flowers 5 m away, but within the same population.
