Abstract
Efforts to develop a pollen selection system have led to the development of a stylar selection method. This method involves the absorption of selective agent through the exterior of the style such that it can effect pollen as it grows through the style. Results of experiments about to be described indicate that selective agents can absorb into the style where they can affect pollen tube growth, and that progeny from such crosses reproducibly differ from progeny of control crosses.
