Influences on Seed Formation of Different Hybrid Combinations in Lilium pumilum and Three Asiatic Hybrids by Two Pollination Methods

Two pollination methods were used to study influences on seed formation of Qinghai Lilium pumilum and three Asiatic hybrids of lily,according to reseaching the production rate of ovules,the percentage of seeds with embryo and the swelling of the capsules.The results demonstrated that application of cut-style pollination can overcome incompatibility and improve the swelling of the capsules in some parental combination,but inhibit seed formation in others.
