Observations on the biology of flowering of wild forms from the subgenus Glycine

Halina Skorupska, Jerzy Nawracał

Abstract


Wild forms from the subgenus Glycine were collected and cultivated from 1977. In total 45 forms were gathered. Observations on the degree of variability of traits connected with the biology and effectiveness of flowering were made. Studies were done on the process of pollination and pollen tube growth in vivo in cleistogamic and chasmogamic flowers. As a result of these analyses, it was found that the phenomenon of very poor pod setting in racemes may be connected with disturbances in the process of pollination.
