Benefits of Cross-Pollination in Vegetable Soybean Edamame
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023 Dependence on cross-pollination varies widely among wild and cultivated plant species. Even among crops that are less dependent on outcrossing, such as soybean (Glycine max L.), cross-pollination can improve fruit quality and commercial value. There is a

Scientific Reports, 2021 Cross-pollination can improve fruit yield, fruit size and nutritional quality of many food crops. However, we rarely understand what proportions of the crop result from self- or cross-pollination, how cross-pollination affects crop quality, and how far ...

Algaculture: Cross-pollination of valuable knowledge [PDF]
, 2011 Pollinating insects form a key component of European biodiversity, and provide a vital ecosystem service to crops and wild plants. There is growing evidence of declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in plants relying ...

Application of pollen mixing device in front of the hive entrance
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2000 The model of a pollen mixing device was tested in sunflower culture in order to detect the effectiveness in helping the out-going honey bees to carry more and different varieties of pollen grains on the body and body hairs.

Pollination Compatibility and Xenia in Camellia oleifera
HortScience, 2020 Camellia oleifera, a major woody oil plant, has a low oil yield because of self-incompatibility. For commercial oil production, compatible pollen and optimal cross-pollination combinations are required.

Pollen-Mediated Movement of Herbicide Resistance Genes in Lolium rigidum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The transfer of herbicide resistance genes by pollen is a major concern in cross-pollinated species such as annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum). A two-year study was conducted in the greenhouse, under favorable conditions for pollination, to generate ...

Multi-model cross-pollination in time [PDF]
Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2017 Predictive skill of complex models is often not uniform in model-state space; in weather forecasting models, for example, the skill of the model can be greater in populated regions of interest than in "remote" regions of the globe. Given a collection of models, a multi-model forecast system using the cross pollination in time approach can be ...

Using citizen science to monitor pollination services [PDF]
, 2015 1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of ...

Cross-and self-pollination to evaluate the yield characteristics in F3 melon (Cucumis melo L.) inbred lines [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)This study aims to determine the percentage of pollination of a combination of cross-pollination and self-pollination in several melon inbred lines and to determine the yield character of the combination of cross-pollination and self-pollination in F3 ...

The Extended (Evolutionary) Synthesis Debate: Where Science Meets Philosophy [PDF]
, 2014 Recent debates between proponents of the modern evolutionary synthesis (the standard model in evolutionary biology) and those of a possible extended synthesis are a good example of the fascinating tangle among empirical, theoretical, and conceptual or ...
