The study incorporates two major lines of analysis: a) a comparison of the ...

A significant negative correlation was found between pollen cold tolerance (0—97.9 %) and seed infection rate, as well as between seed germination at low temperature (0—77.7 %) and infection percentage. Pollen cold tolerance showed a significant positive correlation with seed germination on filter paper at 10 °C (r = 0.787; p < 0.01) and with overall seed cold tolerance (r = 0.757; p < 0.05).

At the center of the analysis is the figure of the Author, who functions simultaneously as a character and narrator, elevated above the other characters. However, his position is unstable, as, being the creator of the embedded play, he cannot fully control it and struggles to manage his characters. This duality highlights the central theme of the play — a conflict between the author and his creation, inherently metatheatrical....
