Table 5.
Number of embryos in Sikitita mother trees assigned to each pollen genotype (columns) in the different pollination treatments during the 2023 season. LOD score threshold = 0.89. In bold, the most successful fathers.
| Pollination Treatment | Sikitita * | Arbequina | Arbosana | Koroneiki | Tosca | Below LOD Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self-pollination | 1 | 0 | 28 | 1 | 8 | 5 |
| Open-pollination | 0 | 8 | 37 | 9 | 7 | 16 |
| ×Arbequina | 0 | 2 | 5 | 1 | 6 | 6 |
| ×Koroneiki | 0 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 6 | 7 |
* ×Sikitita represents self-fertilization. Fertilization by a different genotype of the pollen applied denotes some degree of pollen contamination in self- and cross-pollination treatments.
