Table 2. Germination ratio of pollen grains on the stigmas at different flowering stages after artificial pollination of three jasmine petal-types.

Flowering stage	Ratio of germinated pollen grains on the stigmas (%)
	SP × SPb	DP × DP	MP × MP
Stage 1a	10.6±2.2Cc	6.9±1.5C	11.1±1.6A
Stage 2	23.8±3.5A	21.4±3.6A	8.1±1.1B
Stage 3	18.5±2.5B	13.9±1.8B	4.3±0.9C
Stage 4	2.8±0.9D	2.5±1.0D	1.8±0.5D

^aThe definition of flowering stages 1, 2, 3 and 4 was following: one day before flower partially opened, flower partially opened, flower fully opened, and one day post flower fully opened, respectively.

^bSP, DP and MP represent the single-, double-, and multi-petal jasmine phenotypes, respectively.

^cDifferent capital letters represent significant differences at the level of P<0.01 between different flowering stages (mean ± SD).
