Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Late-acting self-incompatible system, preferential allogamy and delayed selfing in the heteromorphic invasive populations of Ludwigia grandiflora subsp. hexapetala

bioRxiv, 2021
Breeding system influences local population genetic structure, effective size, offspring fitness and functional variation. Determining the respective importance of self- and cross-fertilization in hermaphroditic flowering plants is thus important to ...

Yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) Displays Prezygotic and Postzygotic Barriers to Prevent Autogamy in Monoecious Cultivars

Agronomy, 2022
Cultivated yam (D. rotundata) is a staple tuber crop in West Africa whose sexual reproduction control remains largely unknown despite its importance for plant breeding programs. In this paper, we compared self-pollination, intracultivar cross-pollination

Pollination strategy of Gennaria diphylla (Orchidaceae) on the Canary Islands and on Madeira

Mediterranean Botany, 2022
Gennaria diphylla (Link) Parl. is a terrestrial, inconspicuous green orchid. Its distribution includes the central and western Mediterranean region as well as the Canary Islands and Madeira. Investigations on its pollination biology are scarce.

The Ecology of Autogamy in Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton): Does the Early Clone Get the Bee?

Agronomy, 2020
Wild blueberry, Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton, for the most part requires cross-pollination. However, there is a continuum across a gradient from zero to 100% in self-compatibility. We previously found by sampling many fields that 20–25% of clones during

Pulasan [(Nephelium ramboutan-ake (Labill.) Leenh.] fruit trees: variations in flower morphology, and associated differences in pollination type

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2016
Pulasan (Nephelium ramboutan-ake) is a species of Sapindaceae which has hermaphrodite and staminate flowers on different trees. Morphological flower structures and pollination types of the pulasan fruit tree have not previously been reported thoroughly ...

Chemodiversity of Essential Oils From Eugenia uniflora L. Collected in Different Phytophysiognomies of the Coastal Region of Rio de Janeiro. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
Essential oils from Eugenia uniflora collected in different coastal phytophysiognomies of Rio de Janeiro showed notable chemodiversity. GC‐MS and GC‐FID analyses revealed nine chemotypes, mainly rich in curzerene and selina‐1,3,7(11)‐trien‐8‐one. ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the yield, color, and chemical composition of Eugenia uniflora ...

Elevated temperature drives a shift from selfing to outcrossing in the insect pollinated legume, faba bean (Vicia faba) [PDF]

, 2016
Climate change can threaten the reproductive success of plants, both directly, through physiological damage during increasingly extreme weather events, and indirectly, through disruption of plant–pollinator interactions.

Investigation of the Breeding Mechanism of African Yam Bean [Fabaceae] (Sphenostylis stenocarpa Hochst. Ex. A. Rich) Harms

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2018
The many reported inherent nutritional potential in African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst. Ex. A. Rich.) Harms) seem to provide platform for the need of its genetic improvement.
