Did you donate pollen to someone with PK?

Thanks all.

Did you donate pollen to someone with PK?

Donated to John. I think his putting it on another fisheri.

Dont think a Phrag. fischeri sib cross is possible. According to Eliseo's presentation in Ecuador, Phrag. fischeri always self pollinates (autogamous).

Tom, I've been thinking about that problem. I wonder if opening the bud (just as it's about to open naturally), and removing the pollen from the developing flower would still allow the stigma to mature and become receptive, while preventing self fertilization? I'll give it a try.

Tom is right, it is autogamous, but John also is right.... If you remove the pollen as soon as the bud starts to open you can use it as a pod parent. We tested to remove the pollen in a couple of plants the same day they started to open and this avoided self pollination. Later we made some crosses using fischeri as pod parent (x kov. for example) and it worked... hope it helps!

 

[John M]

Yes, that's great news! Thank you very much for the information, Eliseo!

 

[tomkalina]

Good information; gives me some ideas. Thanks, Eliseo.
