Description

Experimental addition of outcross pollen to flowers to test whether natural pollination limits plant reproductive success, comparing reproductive output between hand-pollinated and naturally pollinated flowers.

Typical Equipment

  • camel hair paintbrush
  • forceps
  • oil-based paint pen
  • bridal veil bags
  • analytical balance

Output Measurements

  • fruit set
  • seed production
  • seeds per fruit
  • seed mass
