Pollinator-dependence and specialization in three sunbird-pollinated, fire-stimulated flowering species. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Through field observations and experimental verification, we found that three bird‐pollinated plant species with fire‐stimulated flowering specialize in, and heavily depend on, sunbirds for pollination and reproduction. Abstract Fires dramatically reduce both floral resources and pollinator abundance, potentially compromising flowering plant ...

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

A novel strategy to study apomixis, automixis, and autogamy in plants. [PDF]
Plant ReprodThe combination of a flow cytometric seed screen and genotyping of each single seed offers a cost-effective approach to detecting complex reproductive pathways in flowering plants. Reproduction may be seen as one of the driving forces of evolution.

Factors affecting reproductive success in three entomophilous orchid species in Hungary [PDF]
, 2015 The reproductive success of orchids is traditionally estimated by determining the fruit-set of individuals. Here, we investigated both the fruit and the seed production of three orchid species and the factors that may affect individual fruit-set, like ...

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).

The dark side of the rain: self-pollination setbacks due to water exposure in Pavonia varians Moric (Malvaceae), a species with rain-dependent flowering [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2020 Plants that occur in arid or semi-arid environments may restrict their flowering to the rainy season to ensure water availability for reproductive functions. However, the exposure of flowers to rainfall can compromise their functionality, such as complex

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 ...
