Segregation of fertility, fruit forms and early yield performance of selected, sibbed and outcrossed fertile pisifera progenies
1982
Chin, C.W.
Selected fertile pisiferas were sibbed and outcrossed to infertile pisiferas. The distribution of fertile, semi-fertile, and infertile palms in both types of progenies suggested that fertility is a highly heritable trait and is perhaps under simple genetic control. Segregation of shelled or partially shelled fruit forms also occurred in the sibcross progenies. It is postulated that fertile pisiferas can carry genes for shell development. Early yields show that some of the outcrosses and sibcrosses perform as well as the D x P progeny. It may be possible to select pisifera progenies which are highly fertile as well as giving good yields
