Abstract
The use of a simple crossing method, named 'post-harvest pollination method' was examined. The point of this method is the utilization of panicles cut at internode m, below the node of the 2nd leaf from the flag leaf, as female parents. By this method it was possible to pre-pare receptive panicles on the day of crossing. After pollination, these panicles were able to grow only with water and to form seeds in the glass-house (Fig. 1). In some crosses using this method, the seed set percentage was lower than the *"eneral pot cultured pollination method' (Table 1). However, the post-harvest pollination method was more convenient b, ecause of its simplicity
