Abstract:Fruit and seed development of seven jojoba [Simmondsia chinensis (Link) C. Schneid.] clones were monitored over two seasons. Pollination occurred in late February and early March.

While all seven clones exhibited similar fruit and seed developmental patterns, there were large diff… Show more
