Abstract:
Hybrid seed production steps are evaluated and the pertinent literature reviewed. Experimental data are presented of environmental effects on pollination efficiency, pollen germination, and speed of pollen tube growth. A comparison between the use of male sterile and male fertile ovule parents bears out the superior efficiency of the former in hybrid seed production. © 1967 H. Veenman en zonen n.v., Wageningen.
