outcross

Seed production from hand outcrosses and natural pollination.--To estimate the maximum number of seeds that could be produced per flower under outcross pollination conditions, six unopened flowers on each of six plants per population were emasculated while in bud.

Localisation of outcrosses within the panicle of fertile sorghum.

Johnston (1992), however, found larger differences in flower number between selfs and outcrosses of Lobelia siphilatica and L.

I also analyzed the larger D4 data set as above excluding mate type as a main effect because all matings were outcrosses. All models were checked for violations of ANCOVA assumptions by examining residuals and main effect x covariate interactions in preliminary models.

NPM-4 was derived from open-pollinated outcrosses of white grain inbred line 57028[R.sub.1]w grown in a 1998 Puerto Vallarta winter nursery.

Selfs were also significantly smaller (P [less than] 0.05) than outcrosses after four years in the field [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1b OMITTED].

Harrington (1944) reported that several seed increases of `Triumph' breeder's seed had to be discarded because of outcrosses to a red-glumed cultivar, Concho.

One pollen donor was used for each outcrossed flower, and most maternal plants received pollen from six donors for outcrosses (with a minimum of three outcross donors).

In 1996 my analysis of the pedigrees of Pattern winners showed that 48 were inbred within four generations, while 43 were complete outcrosses, showing no duplications within five.
