Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the fertility of "Huajin 6" and the effect of exogenous methyl jasmonate on its fertility. In this study, "Huajin 6", "Huajin 6" treated with methyl jasmonate and "Damaohua" were used as the research objects, the stamen phenotypes and the shape of pollen grains were observed, pollen viability and stigma receptivity were measured. The results showed that the pistil structure and function were normal, and although the stamen anthers did not dehisce, they were still capable of producing pollen with a certain amount of vigor. Methyl jasmonate could promote the opening of the flowers of "Huajin 6" and improve the development of pollen grains to a certain extent, but it could not promote anthers dehiscence of "Huajin 6". This study can provide theoretical guidance for the cultivation of new honeysuckle varieties using "Huajin 6".
