M. B. BANU, M.Q.I. MATIN, T. HOSSAIN, M.M. HOSSAINAn experiment was conducted at Crop Botany Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Gazipur, Bangladesh to study flowering behaviour and flower morphology of passion fruit grown from cutting and grown from seed. Flowers opened within 10:52 to 12:25 hr. in plants grown from cuttings and within 10:55 to 12:31 hr. in seeded plants. From visible flower bud to full bloom requires 14.17 days for plants grown from cutting and requires 13.33 days for plants grown from seeds. Flowering started earlier in case of plants grown from cutting which continued 152 days as against 99 days in case of plant grown seed. Average size of floral parts was recorded more or less similar in both types of plants. Percentage of fruit set was higher under hand pollination than under natural pollination. Download
