Stigma Receptivity Test in Diverse Species of Tomato
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The present experiment on tomato comprised of 17 genotypes belonging to ten different species. The research was carried out at “Research Centre for Distant Hybridization in Field and Fruit Crops, Dept. of Agricultural Biotechnology, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during 2016-2017”. Stigma receptivity being one of the important traits influencing the rate of pollination and successful fertilization was under taken in the present study. The observations were recorded from tomato species on stigma receptivity by using Hydrogen peroxide. The stigma was found receptive before 12 hrs. of an thesis and may continue upto withering stage of flower, which was the common pattern observed in all the species. Stigma became fully receptive after opening of flower bud. But, in case of accession LA 1777 (S. habrochaites), the stigma did not become receptive at bud stage, while stigma of LA 2157 (S. arcanum) and LA 2819 (S. lycopersicum) showed receptivity from bud stage.
