Estimates of the Percentage of Self- and Cross-Pollination in Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciaefozia Scop.)1

W. J. Knipe and A. E. Carleton2

Percent cross-pollination in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciaefolia Scop.) was estimated under three planting arrangements by using flower color and growth characteristics as genetic markers. The amount of cross-pollination was dependent upon the planting arrangement. A substantial amount of crossing occurred when one row of a maternal multicut line was seeded between two rows of a sinplecut pollen parent. More than 90% of progeny produced by three white-flowered maternal clones surrounded by rows of pink-flowered pollen parents resulted from crosspollination. Eight to 28% cross-pollination occurred between white-flowered maternal clones and pink-flowered male clones in two clone crosses under isolation with honey bees as pollinators.

Key Words: Reproduction • Single cross • Forage breeding • Legumes
