Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 648-657, November 2026.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 636-647, November 2026.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

Flower Visitation, Floral Traits, and Reproduction of Nicotiana glauca (Solanaceae) in an Urban Landscape

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
Across a heterogeneous urban landscape in the high tropical Andes, Nicotiana glauca showed strong spatial and temporal variation in floral traits and visitor assemblages, with hummingbirds acting as the only legitimate visitors and bees as nectar robbers.

Rice Productivity in Saline–Alkaline Soils: Constraints, Microbiome‐Mediated Regulation and Management Strategies

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Saline–alkaline soils are widespread and represent a particularly restrictive environment for rice, especially in arid and semi‐arid regions. These soils commonly combine elevated salinity with high pH, sodium‐related soil constraints and bicarbonate/carbonate accumulation, resulting in severe physicochemical and nutritional limitations. Under

Male sterility and anther wall structure in Copper-deficient plants

, 1981
Anther development and pollen sterility were followed in plants of wheat, oat, barley, sweetcorn, sunflower, petunia and subterraneum clover grown at a range of copper supplies. Copper-deficient plants had increased pollen sterility.

Linking genomic variation to floral trait adaptation across species boundaries

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 4, Page 1399-1412, November 2026.
Examples of floral trait divergences between sister species adapted to different pollination modes. Summary Flowers are highly diverse in shape, scent, and colour and may differ strikingly even among closely related species. Floral traits experience correlational selection favouring trait combinations that maximise plant reproduction, leading to ...

Heterosis in crosses between remnant populations of the rare prairie forb Silene regia: Implications for restoration genetics

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Premise Calls to adopt seed‐sourcing strategies in biological restoration that preserve local adaptation while maximizing genetic variation (e.g., regional admixture provenancing) are increasingly common. Heterosis, the increased fitness of progeny from crosses between populations relative to progeny from crosses within populations, could ...

Embryogenic response of potato anther culture to colchicine

, 2008
Colchicine, an antimicrotubule agent, has enhanced the androgenic response of cruciferous and graminaceous species. Our objectives were to determine if colchicine treatments enhanced androgenic embryo production in diploid potato, and if colchicine ...
