- Statement
- All open flowers were removed from the 48 E. californica plants prior to their placement in pre-marked locations across the landscape. Plants remained in the field for 16 days to ensure full anthesis of new flowers and to allow for multiple pollination events. After this period, we supplemented a flower from each of the 48 plants with outcrossed pollen. This involved methodically wiping four dehiscing anthers from a donor plant onto the receptive stigma of a pollinator exposed plant with dissecting tweezers. All fruit were then tagged and supplemented flowers were covered with fine muslin to protect against accidental windborne transfer of pollen from the glasshouse air-conditioning system. Plants were then collected and stored under controlled glasshouse conditions until fruit maturation. Upon maturation, tagged fruit were collected and the number of filled seeds per fruit were counted to quantify seed set per fruit. The degree of pollen limitation was expressed as a ratio between the mean seed set (field exposed plants) and the potential seed set (supplemented) in each of the 48 field exposed plants.
