Effect of Simulated Autogamy and Allogamy on the Success of <i>Cephalanthera longifolia</i> and <i>Cephalanthera rubra</i> (Orchidaceae) Fruit Set by Laurynas Taura, Zigmantas Gudžinskas

“…No significant differences in fruit set rate were found between simulated cross-pollination and self-pollination, but significant differences were found compared to the control group (free pollination) in both study species. We conclude that both study species are self-compatible, can set fruit after self-pollination, and that natural low fruit set is not related to limited energy resources of the individual, but is caused by the inefficient pollination of flowers due to a lack of pollinators during the flowering period. …”
