Abstract
Attempts to cross Cajanus cajan with Atylosia albicans, A. cajanifolia, A. grandifolia, A. mollis, A. platycarpa, A. sericea and A. volubilis resulted in varying degrees of success. Hormone treatment (gibberellic acid and kinetin) increased pod-set and the number of seeds per pod. Hormone treatment among the unsuccessful crosses delayed bud drop by 3-4 days, which prolonged ovule development. Our results indicate that treatment with hormones helps post-fertilization development and leads to improvement in the rate of crossing success.
