STIGMA AND POLLEN PARAMETERS IN SELECTED MONOPODIAL ORCHID HYBRIDS AND SPECIES

扫码查看
Floral biology studies were conducted in 15 monopodial orchid genotypes belonging to the genera Aranda, Aranthera, Kagawara, Mokara, Renanthera and Vanda, with good cut flower qualities and popularity in the market. The genotypes showed significant variation for parameters such as flower opening time, anthesis, stigma receptivity period, pollen size, pollen fertility and pollen germination. A clear understanding of these traits under particular experimental locations is inevitable for the successfulconduct of crop improvement programmes in orchids, as some of these traits vary depending on the climatic conditions. The days from flower opening on which these genotypes could be pollinated with maximum success have also been assessed.
