SoLongFairWell Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I heard you need 2 different genetic clones to get a seed set. Does anyone know if this is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moi Vinnok Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) I heard you need 2 different genetic clones to get a seed set. Does anyone know if this is true? I heard too. But ICPS says that it is posiblle. The trick: "yesterday's pollen on today's stigma". http://www.carnivorousplants.org/howto/GrowingGuides/D_regia.php 3 flowers closed. I hope soon begin to grow up. Each flower have 3 stigmas and 5 anther. I did put pollen in each mature stigma several times to make sure. We will know soon pd: the original post: http://www.daepc.org/portal/drosera-regia-la-reina-florece-vt6387.html Edited June 19, 2014 by Moi Vinnok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest paul y Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 im following this with interest please keep us updated as to the quality of seed set, I have several d regia and whilst they are simple to propagate from root cuttings I also like to grow from seed as well and need a good solid method for seed set regards paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've never managed to get seed through self pollination, despite using a mixture of pollen ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moi Vinnok Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) In this video for the Spanish Association (DAEPC). I commented the process (in spanish ). It's my first time, i hope have luck im following this with interest please keep us updated as to the quality of seed set, I have several d regia and whilst they are simple to propagate from root cuttings I also like to grow from seed as well and need a good solid method for seed set regards paul Thank you, Of course. :) I've never managed to get seed through self pollination, despite using a mixture of pollen ages. bad news, but I'll try with pollen from another plant genetically distinct. Pollen from a friend who mailed Edited June 20, 2014 by Moi Vinnok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel H-C Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yes, you can get a single clone to produce seed. I first managed this a number of years back and the oldest resultant seedling is now around 15 years old. It hinges on when the stigmas are receptive. I wrote an article on this a year or two back which was in the CPN and I think the CPS journal. I have it as a PDF if anyone wants me to send it to them.

Moi Vinnok Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Thank you very much for the info, Nigel H-C. I'm also interested in that pdf. The experiment has been a success so far. I pollinated with pollen from another plant and also self-pollinated. In total there are 18 buds, Photos a few weeks ago : (click to enlarge) and video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=810837035616577&set=o.60357160697&type=2&theater Today's Photos: These are the buds that remain to collect I collected 4 now. Each flower had enough seeds The first flower had large and small seeds, perhaps because self-pollination. But the following (cross pollination with another plant genetically distinct and self-pollination for sure) had better seed size. Some seeds are larger than others, surely not all are viable. In this pic i separated the small seeds In this link, Our friend AlberBcn obtained seeds from a self-pollinated very easily. With a similar process to self-pollinated of a dionaea. http://www.daepc.org/portal/ir-a-la-pagina-68-vf9-vt4786.html?start=1005 and: http://www.daepc.org/portal/ir-a-la-pagina-9-vf34-vt6387.html?start=120 Regards, as soon as possible i'll make a youtube video :) Edited July 25, 2014 by Moi Vinnok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Will you be selling any of these seeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Only the large seeds are viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moi Vinnok Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Thank you friends :) Yes, I will sell some seed, but first I want to check how many seeds are for DAEPC association. Small seeds do not I sell In this video you can see how I gather: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=810837035616577&set=o.60357160697&type=2&theater best regards Edited July 25, 2014 by Moi Vinnok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I heard you need 2 different genetic clones to get a seed set. Does anyone know if this is true? Based on the species ecology, that is extremely doubtful in my understanding of things. There are only two locations directly adjacent each other. Each location is effectively a group of highly inbred individuals; so why would this species have a selfing block??? There is no logic here. It might have a system for avoiding selfing, but if it couldn't self pollinate, I believe it would have died out centuries ago when the population first started shrinking.

Moi Vinnok Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Very interesting, Dave Evans . I agree with you. In this picture of our friend AlberBcn we can see seeds of self-pollination germinating: After 16 days germinated http://www.daepc.org/portal/files/posted_images/746/390_1406911934_504359.jpg http://www.daepc.org/portal/files/posted_images/746/388_1406911909_492019.jpg I used their pollen to cross some pollen flower of my regia Complete Post: http://www.daepc.org/portal/9-vf34-vt6387.html?postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=120 Edited August 2, 2014 by Moi Vinnok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
