Investigation of the Breeding Mechanism of African Yam Bean [Fabaceae] (Sphenostylis stenocarpa Hochst. Ex. A. Rich) Harms

open access: yesNotulae Scientia Biologicae, 2018
The many reported inherent nutritional potential in African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst. Ex. A. Rich.) Harms) seem to provide platform for the need of its genetic improvement.

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.

The explosive flowers of Marsypianthes chamaedrys (Lamiaceae) resort to self-pollination and improve reproduction

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2022
Explosive pollination includes a rapid release of floral sexual elements that are enclosed in modified petals, and a subsequent contact with pollinators’ body.

Evaluation of the risks of contaminating low erucic acid rapeseed with high erucic rapeseed and identification of mitigation strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
High erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) oil is under increasing demand for various industrial applications. However, many growers are concerned that if they grow the crop, they will not be able to revert to other rapeseed varieties in the future due to the risk

Pollination ecology and breeding system of two Calceolaria species in Chile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Indexación: Web of Science; Scielo.Many angiosperms are exclusively dependent on pollinators for its reproduction (Matallana et al.2010; Arroyo et al. 2006).

Iterative allogamy-autogamy transitions drive actual and incipient speciation during the ongoing evolutionary radiation within the orchid genus Epipactis (Orchidaceae).

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2019
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The terrestrial orchid genus Epipactis has become a model system for the study of speciation via transitions from allogamy to autogamy, but close phylogenetic relationships have proven difficult to resolve through Sanger sequencing.

Extent of cross-fertilization in Orobanche cumana Wallr.

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2013
Sunflower broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) is considered a self-fertilizing species, but there is no indication as to whether it is strictly self-fertilized or that it presents some extent of cross-fertilization.

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 ...

Pollination Ecology of Sabatia Campenstris Nutt. (Gentianaceae)

open access: yesOklahoma Native Plant Record, 2016
Flower timing studies in June and July (1972) on populations of Sabatia campestris Nutt. show this plant to be allogamous (out crossing) under natural field conditions.

Changes in Reproductive Traits in Physalis philadelphica; An Unexpected Shift Toward Self-Incompatibility in a Domesticated Annual Fruit Crop

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Domestication is an evolutionary process with an impact on plant reproduction. Many domesticated plants are self-compatible (i.e., they lack mechanisms to reject their own pollen), but few domesticated plants are fully or partially self-incompatible.
