Abstract
While Campsis radicans flowers exhibit complete self-incompatibility when flowers are pollinated only with their own pollen, mixing pollen of other genotypes with self-incompatible pollen resulted in 1/6th of seeds resulting from self-fertilization. Seeds resulting from self crosses were smaller and fruits of mixed (self and foreign genotypes) had more nonviable seeds and a greater range of seed sizes.Suggested Citation
