Wayne,
Could the number of seeds within a quadrant have a direct relation to
the amount of pollen it got? More pollen more seeds? It is not clear to
me whether pollenation is like human fertilzation where only one sperm
fertilizes no matter how many are deposited. Would a female be
pollenated by only a single unit of the pollen deposited? What ever it
is those seeds from his Howard Dill Prize winner look to be winners
themselves. Do you know whether the offspring have carried the traits
that made it win the Dill prize? Thanks again for answering the call for
help on the children's pumpkin competition.
ZOO-DOO
