Floral Biology Studies in Certain Commercial Species of Jasmine (Jasminum spp.)

Abstract

In any plant breeding program, knowledge of the floral biology of the species is an essential prerequisite. Floral biology studies and information on flowering and fruiting season are required for a comprehensive understanding of reproductive barriers. Jasmine is highly influenced by seasons, which profoundly affect the flowering and fruit set. The floral biology of certain popular varieties belonging to the three most commercially important Jasminum species has been documented and presented in this paper. Variations were observed for flower bud color, flowering season, pollen production and fruit set potential. Two morphotypes of carpel namely, ‘pin’ and ‘thrum’ was observed in the J. auriculatum genotypes
