Table 2.

Berry set and average number of seeds/berry and of seeds/pollination from 5x × Tbr-4x and Tbr-4x × 5x crosses involving two pentaploid (2n = 5x = 60) BC1 hybrids (P5 and P3) and three tetraploid (2n = 4x = 48) varieties (Blondie, Carmine, and Tollocan)

Cross combination* Pollinations no. Berries no. Berry set % Average no. of seeds per
Pollination Berry
5x × Tbr-4x 58 30 47.7 17.2 27.2
Tbr-4x × 5x 44 16 28.5 1.9 9.5
Tbr-4x × Tbr-4x 56 27 48.2 53.8 111.6

For comparisons, results from Tbr-4x × Tbr-4x crosses performed in the same environmental conditions also are given. 

*

No significant differences were found between crosses within each cross combination, so results are pooled for cross combination.
