The breeding system of Hyacinthoides non-scripta (Asparagaceae): assessing the role of geitonogamy with captive pollinators [PDF]
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.

Broccoli various genotypes regenerated plants (R0) seed set after geitonogamy
Relevance. Broccoli cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. convar. botrytis (L.) Alef. var. cymosa Duch.) is widely spread around the world due to its dietetic attribute, preventive and healing effect, cooking simplicity.

The sexual reproductive strategy in clonal Scopolia carniolica is based on obligatory cross-pollination and self-incompatibility [PDF]
Understanding the reproductive biology and breeding system of rare species is crucial for effective conservation. We examined floral biology, assessed the true pollinators, and investigated the reproductive effect of six pollination treatments ...

Is Self-Incompatibility Related to Nectar Presence in Dendrobium? [PDF]
Studies on the gain or loss of nectar during the course of evolution in Dendrobium Sw. (Orchidaceae) are able to provide important information concerning the reproductive biology of this enormous orchid genus and highlight reproductive barriers—in ...

Dactylorhiza maculata is a common terrestrial orchid in Finland. It is nectarless and the seed production is relatively high for a deceptive species. The pollinators of D. maculata do not have frequent visits to the flowers, but the species is capable of over 50 % seed capsule production.

Pump mechanism, secondary pollen presentation, psychophily and anemochory in Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC. (Asteraceae) [PDF]
Emilia sonchifolia flowers profusely during August-November. The plant produces capitulum inflorescence with only disc florets presenting nectar and pollen as rewards.

How far does pollinator behaviour -conditioned by floral rewards- determine geitonogamy rate?
The quality and quantity of floral rewards, together with pattern of presentation, “drive” pollinator visits within and among plants. In multi-flowering species, besides floral traits and display, the degree of geitonogamous pollination is determined by intra-plant pollinator movements.

Floral Color Change Mediated by Pollen Input-Output and Its Manipulation of Pollinator Foraging Behavior in Heterostylous Plant <i>Arnebia guttata</i> (Boraginaceae). [PDF]
The inducement, functions of flower color change (FCC) and its ecological effects have been studied by controlling pollination, accurate statistics of pollen transfer and visiting behavior in a typical distylous species. The results showed that limiting pollen input–output can delay fading time of spots, adding fake spots to old flowers can improve ...
