Flowering characteristics and breeding system of Deutzia parviflora by WANG Qi, LI Jinyu, WANG Xinyi, WANG Yixuan, GUO Wei, YUAN Tao

“…[Conclusion] There is no apomixis in D . parviflora and the breeding system is a mixed mating system, dominanted by outcrossing mechanism, requiring pollinators, and it is more fertile and can be used as a parent for hybrid breeding in the genus Deutzia. Its low self-incompatibility is not due to dichogamy and herkogamy.…”
