The frequency of natural cross-fertilization in a composite cross of barley grown in Scotland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
The frequency of natural crossing in 1972 was estimated, in two subsets of a composite cross grown in F6 in Nairn and in Fife, as 2·61±0·25% and 4·59±0·35% respectively. The estimated inbreeding coefficients of the parental generations were less than would be expected if all types of pollination were equally fertile and gave equally fertile offspring.
