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

open access: yesAgronomy, 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

Pollen Viability and Autogamy Fitness in Bauhinia forficata Link (Fabaceae)

open access: yesFloresta e Ambiente, 2018
Bauhinia forficata (Fabaceae) occurs in many phytophysiognomies of southern Brazil, however its ecological relevance is not well understood. The present study was developed in the Central Depression of Rio Grande do Sul and aimed to determine variations ...

Self fertility of pear varieties conditioned by natural self pollination (autogamy)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Horticultural Science, 2000
Authors studied the autofertility depending on natural self pollination (autogamy) in 59 pear cultivars during 4 seasons at three locations with different ecological conditions (Helvetia, Kecskemet-Kisfai, Keszthely).

Notes on the self-pollination in Dendrobium biflorum (Orchidales, Dendrobiinae)

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2012
The conditions favouring self-pollination are determined for a species of Dendrobium Sw. A survey of gynostemium micro­morphology in collected flowers of Dendrobium biflorum revealed two stages of a unique form of autogamy: on germination of pollen ...

Transfer of Self-Fruitfulness to Cultivated Almond from Peach and Wild Almond

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2022
The almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] is normally self-sterile, requiring orchard placement of pollinizer cultivars and insect pollinators. Honeybees are the primary insect pollinators utilized, but climate change and the higher frequency of ...

Comparative reproduction mechanisms of three species of Ocimum L. (Lamiaceae)

open access: yesActa Agrobotanica, 2016
Ocimum species have a combination of reproductive system which varies with the locality and cultivar. We have studied here the reproductive mechanisms of five variants of three Ocimum species in Nigeria, namely: Ocimum canum Sims., O. basilicum L., and O.

Genetic variability and selection criteria of some sunflower genotypes under different pollination methods

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Slovenica, 2020
To determinate self-compatible genotypes for increasing autogamy yielded, the ten sunflower genotypes were sown under four pollination methods i.e., open-, self-, hand- and sib-pollinations in a randomized complete block design replicated thrice at Kafr ...
