Different Flowering Strategies Ensure Reproductive Success in Two Coexisting Self‐Incompatible Orchids [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionOrchids have evolved diverse reproductive strategies to overcome pollinator limitation and pollen discounting from geitonogamy, particularly in self‐incompatible species. This study compares two coexisting, self‐incompatible orchids (Pholidota articulata

The breeding system of Hyacinthoides non-scripta (Asparagaceae): assessing the role of geitonogamy with captive pollinators [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background and aims – In self-incompatible species, geitonogamous pollen deposition can result in stigma clogging, with negative effects on cross-fertilisation and subsequently reduced fruit and seed set.

Preventing self-fertilization: Insights from Ziziphus species [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The fitness of self-progeny individuals is inferior to that of their outcrossed counterparts, resulting in a reduction in a plant population’s ability to survive and reproduce.

The influence of self-pollen deposition on female reproductive success in a self-incompatible plant, Akebia quinata [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Geitonogamy is inevitable in hermaphrodite and monecious. Even for self-incompatible species, the negative effects of self-pollen are unavoidable when geitonogamous or self-mating occurs.
