Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Vegetated field margins generally increase plant biodiversity and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. They can deliver ecosystem services, such as providing food and shelter for insects, or maintaining biotic regulation. But they can also represent a risk, for example by hosting competitor plants or cultivated crop pests. In this work, we

Une sélection d’élite auto-compatible issue du programme d’amélioration de Zaragoza [PDF]
, 2011 The almond (Prunus amygdalus Batsch) breeding programme at the CITA de Aragón aims at the development of self-compatible cultivars in order to avoid all the problems related to cross-pollination, blooming if possible when the risks of late frosts are ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study compares the reproductive strategies of two self‐incompatible orchids, Pholidota articulata (mass‐flowering) and Coelogyne prolifera (steady‐state flowering). Despite differences in pollinator visitation and pollinia transfer efficiency—higher in P. articulata—both species achieved similar natural fruit set rates over 3 years.

Pollination in the Antarctic flowering plant Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl.
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Colobanthus quitensis forms chasmogamic and cleistogamic flowers. Their structure signals the possibility of both cross-pollination and self-pollination.

Adding perches for cross-pollination ensures the reproduction of a self-incompatible orchid. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Outcrossing is known to carry genetic advantages in comparison with inbreeding. In many cases, flowering plants develop a self-incompatibility mechanism, along with a floral component adaptation mechanism, to avoid self-pollination and to promote ...

Challenges for self-compatibility identification in almond [PDF]
, 2011 Several approaches have been used to assess self-compatibility in almond, such as fruit set after self-pollination and bagging, pollen tube growth, and the more recent Sf allele identification by molecular markers and gene sequencing.
