The kind of pollination and ability to parthenocarpy of pepino ( Ait.)

<trans-abstract xml:lang="pl" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p> Badano zdolność roślin pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.) do zawiązywania owoców w wyniku partenokarpii, zapylenia krzyżowego oraz samozapylenia. Doświadczenie prowadzono w warunkach szklarniowych. Obserwacji dokonano na roślinach sześciu klonów pepino o różnym pochodzeniu. Testowane, samopylne klony pepino były zdolne do zapylenia krzyżowego oraz fakultatywnie partenokarpiczne. Stwierdzono różnice między badanymi klonami w zdolności do zawiązywania owoców w wyniku partenokarpii. Również okres osiągnięcia dojrzałości zbiorczej owoców oraz ich masa były zależne od klonu pepino</p></trans-abstract>
