But a good thing to do if germination percentages from untreated seeds are
low.

According to the literature I've seen, all three should cross in all
directions, but I don't know from personal experience (and who knows, maybe
it depends on the particular accessions, anyway, just like self-infertility
does, i.e. negative results tell little, only positive results are
certain).
