Effect of inbreeding on autogamy in Phlox [PDF]
Heredity, 1995 The effect of inbreeding on autogamy was studied in two greenhouse-grown populations of the weakly self-compatible Phlox dmmmondii. Sixty-one plants from a Lytle, TX. population and 20 plants from a Bastrop, TX. population were self-fertilized to generate an equivalent number of 10-plant self families.

RESPONSE TO SELECTION ON AUTOGAMY IN PHLOX [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1996 Two cycles of artificial selection were performed to increase autogamous fruiting in two wild populations of the self-incompatible Phlox drummondii, to decrease autogamous fruiting in two wild populations of the self-compatible Phlox cuspidata, and to both increase and decrease autogamous fruiting in a cultivar of P.

Evaluating Self-Pollination Methods: Their Impact on Nut Set and Nutlet Abscission in Macadamia [PDF]
PlantsNut set is an important determinant of yield and plays a pivotal role in orchard profitability. The complex process of nut setting is governed by numerous factors, with pollination being a critical mechanism.

Reproductive Success Beyond Pollinators: Microhabitat Effects and Pollen Dynamics in Epipactis bugacensis, a Traditionally Obligately Autogamous Orchid [PDF]
PlantsOrchid pollination is traditionally considered to rely on intact pollinarium transfer by animal vectors. Species lacking a functional viscidium are generally classified as obligately autogamous.

Identification of self-incompatibility in macadamia (Macadamia SPP.) using field-bagging and fluorescence microscopy [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceSelf-incompatibility (SI) significantly reduces crop yield, often far below its genetic potential. Developing self-compatible varieties is the most effective strategy for overcoming SI in crops.

Floral and pollination biology of dragon fruit reveals strategies for enhancing productivity through pollination management and reproductive window extension [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDragon fruit (Selenicereus undatus (Haw.) D.R. Hunt) is emerging as a high-value crop globally. However, its reproductive biology remains poorly characterized, with conflicting reports ranging from strict self-incompatibility (allogamy) to self ...

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