Table 1. Pollen viability of three jasmine petal-types during flowering.
Phenotype | Pollen viability (%) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Stage 1a | Stage 2 | Stage 3 | Stage 4 | |
Single-petal type | 10.1±1.4Ab | 9.0±0.6B | 5.3±0.7C | 3.2±0.5D |
Double-petal type | 20.3±1.9A | 16.7±0.8B | 9.6±1.2C | 5.6±0.7D |
Multi-petal type | 4.1±0.7B | 5.2±0.6A | 4.0±0.3B | 1.8±0.4C |
aThe definition of Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4 was following: one day before flowers partially opened, flowers partially opened, flowers fully opened, and one day post flowers fully opened, respectively.
bDifferent capital letters represent significant differences at the level of P<0.01 between different developmental stages (mean ± SD).
