Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between styles and locules through observation seed set under manual control-pollination in loquat (Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.). After hand-pollination with removal of 4 styles (only 1 style left), accordingly there are seeds only in one locule per fruit with 2 types of seed set patterns: 76.67% fruit had 2 normal seeds which are in accord with pattern I; 23.33% had only 1 normal seed but the other one degenerated which are in accord with pattern II. While all the ovules in other 4 lobules are unfertilized and in wilts; seed degradation rate is 11.67%.
