Re: [Aroid-l] hybridization of Amorphophallus kiusianus

From: Tony Avent <Tony at plantdelights.com> on 2018.03.05 at 14:53:20(23816) Hi Bernhard; We pollinated the reportedly apomictic Amorphophallus henryi with A. dunnii pollen and got seedlings with intermediate traits, so it is possible to overcome maternal apomixis. We did the same with the apomictic Hosta ventricosa, finding only one species, Hosta yingeri whose pollen would overcome the apomixis of the maternal parent.

Very curious, Bernhard.
