Reduction of Self-pollination by High Night Temperature in Naturally Self-fertilized Poa Annua L
1958
Hovin, Arne W.
SynopsisHigh night temperature arrested the normal development of Poa annua anthers without noticeably damaging the pistillate organs when plants with emerging panicles were transferred to a glasshouse with controlled night temperature. Pistillate panicles emerged 11 to 19 days after initiation of a treatment characterized by 29° C. maximum day temperature and 20° C. minimum night temperature. Following controlled pollination, approximately 96% of 274 seeds resulted in definite F₁ hybrids in this naturally self-pollinated species.
