Each plant was labelled with its flowering date when pollen had been released by florets from the upper two-thirds of the panicle.
In control buds, larvae fed on disc florets and destroyed the developing ovules of most ray florets.
In control buds, larvae destroyed most ray and disc florets and larvae were often found feeding on ovules within developing fruits.
As with wheat and barley, the oat husk is fully formed prior to grain filling, protecting the stamens and ovary, which collectively constitute the floret.
Duration of the stem elongation period influences the number of fertile florets in wheat and barley.
Duration of stem elongation period influences the number of fertile florets in wheat and barley.
Effects of temperature, light and humidity during the phase encompassing pollen meiosis on floret fertility in wheat.
Grain and floret number in response to photoperiod during stem elongation in fully and slightly vernalized wheats.
