Abstract
A comparative study concerning the stigma/anthers reciprocal position in 15 self- fertile and 15 self-sterile almond cultivars has been carried out.
No statistically different values of stigma/anthers spatial distance were found according to the biological behaviour of the cultivars.
Moreover, self-fertile almonds exhibited a more pronounced epistigmatism compared to self-sterile ones.
No statistically different values of stigma/anthers spatial distance were found according to the biological behaviour of the cultivars.
Moreover, self-fertile almonds exhibited a more pronounced epistigmatism compared to self-sterile ones.
The results obtained suggest that the reciprocal stigma/anthers position within the same flower should be interpreted just as a morphological trait of almond cultivars, totally independent of their biological behaviour.
