Abstract

The instrument is especially of value in hybridization studies, since it can readily be sterilized and enables pollen to be collected from a number of varieties in different localities for use where desired. It is thought that the instrument could be used in the commercial production of F1 hybrids, since it greatly reduces the time required to effect a cross and is not affected by ordinary winds. Though designed for use with tomatoes, the instrument can be used in its present form for collecting pollen from other flowers, and, where necessary, could readily be modified.
