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 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.

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.

Evaluating Self-Pollination Methods: Their Impact on Nut Set and Nutlet Abscission in Macadamia [PDF]
PlantsNut set is an important determinant of yield and plays a pivotal role in orchard profitability. The complex process of nut setting is governed by numerous factors, with pollination being a critical mechanism.

Mixed pollination system and floral signals of Paepalanthus (Eriocaulaceae): insects and geitonogamy ensure high reproductive success. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2022 AbstractBackground and AimsEriocaulaceae exhibit a great variety of floral traits associated with insect (e.g. nectariferous structures) and wind pollination (unisexual flowers, exposed sexual organs and small pollen grains), as well as the ‘selfing syndrome’ (small flowers, short distance between stigma and anthers, and temporal overlap of male and ...
