Abstract
Examination of flowers of carrot (Daucus carota L.) using the scanning electron microscope revealed that some cytoplasmically male-sterile genotypes exhibit flower abnormalities that may be associated with reduced pollination and seed set. Such abnormalities, evident in many inbred lines, may carry over to the male-sterile F1 parents used to produce 3-way hybrids and probably affect insect pollinator activity.
