The application of the differentiation laws of the reproductive organs of hybrid corn variety Xinong 11 in its seed multiplication

Through experiment of planting dates and observation of reproductive organ differentiation,the laws that govern the reproductive organ differentiation, silk emergence and pollen shedding of the two parental inbred lines of Xinong 11 in seed multiplication of Xinong 11 by reciprocal crossings have been found out and thus the reason why the female and male reprodutive organs of WN 11 do not differentiate synchronously in their development and why the female parent should be planted earlier than the male parent in seed multiplication of Xinong 11 have been clarified;Meanwhile, the leaf age indices to predict the planting and flowering dates have been confirmed in seed multiplication of Xinog 11 by reciprocal crossings.
