Saleeb 1965 dissertation.

[Rob]

This is a couple of interesting points from Saleeb's 1965 dissertation..and the full paper is below as a pdf.
This is interesting that he mentions here that parthenocarpic (persistent) pollen only lasts120 days in a fridge at 8C, I have not seen anyone mention that before.

How he mentioned retrieving pollen from the caprifigs, and hand pollinating.
