Exempel på floret

• 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.

• Grains were harvested from the first and second florets of the six middle spikelets.

• These numbers probably underestimated the proportion of larvae that dropped because not all shed skins remain when larvae moult and wriggle out of the florets.

• Floret development and spike growth as affected by photoperiod during stem elongation in wheat.

• Floret moisture content at the start of experiments was 10.8 ^ 1.0% (fresh weight basis).

• Ray floret ovules are the main food source of late instar larvae of both species.

• Larvae bore into the ovary or corolla tube of disc or ray florets, moving from one floret to the next.

• Floret development in near isogenic wheat lines differing in plant height.
