Anthesis and anther dehiscence of cashew flower

Abstract

Round the clock observations on anthesis were made for five consecutive days in three periods of flowering viz., early December, mid-February, and late April. The peak period of anthesis of male flower was around 6 b and the same for bisexual flower was around 11 h. The time taken for anther to dehisce with respect to flowers opened at different hours starting from 6 h was recorded. The time required for dehiscence reduced linearly as the day advanced.
