Abstract

In conventional methodology of female seed production, pistillate line is maintained by allowing the 20- 25% population of monoecious plants of female as the pollen source and
harvesting the seeds only for the pistillate plants for seed purpose. In this process, the progeny of the seed thus produced exhibited a large proportion of monecious plants in the seed production plots. Hence, a modified method of seed production for production of high genetic purity with very high proportion of pistillate plants is advantageous.
