Fig. 6. — Changes in percentage pollen viability (A), percentage in vitro pollen germination (B), and number of pollen tubes per style (C) with the fraction of transpirable soil water (FTSW) in the water-stressed (WS) treatment of two chickpea genotypes, DICC8156 and DICC8172. FTSW was maintained at 1.0 in the well-watered (WW) plants, but the pollen characteristics were measured on the same days as the WS plants. For pollen viability, there was a two-way interaction between water treatment and FTSW (P<0.001, LSD_0.05=4%). For pollen germination, there was a three-way interaction of genotype×water treatment×FTSW (P<0.001, LSD_0.05=5%). For the number of pollen tubes per style, there was a significant effect of genotype (P<0.001, LSD_0.05=0.4) and a two-way interaction between water treatment and FTSW (P<0.001, LSD_0.05=0.8). No other effects or interactions were significant. Date are means ±SE (n=3). Pollen from five flowers per replicate was pooled for pollen viability and pollen germination, while 10 flowers per replicate were pooled for the number of pollen tubes per style.
