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.

SNP markers reveal relationships between fruit paternity, fruit quality and distance from a cross-pollen source in avocado orchards

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 ...

Role of insects in the pollination of Acacia nigrescens (Fabaceae) [PDF]

, 2006
We examined pollination biology of Acacia nigrescens Oliver, flowering at the end of the dry season in Kruger National Park, South Africa. A. nigrescens produces small quantities of concentrated nectar, and has abundant pollen resources available to ...

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 ...

Typology in pollination biology: lessons from an historical critique [PDF]

, 2011
Typological schemes that describe putative floral adaptations for pollinators have played a central role in pollination biology. In 1882 the prominent German botanist and Darwinist Hermann Müller commented critically on a precursor of modern versions of ...
