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.

Contrasting reproductive strategies and their functional consequences in two populations of Opuntia robusta (Cactaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyHermaphroditism is the predominant sexual condition in angiosperms, but populations of a single species can diverge markedly in their reproductive allocation and in the expression of their mating system.

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 ...

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).

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