Evaluation of reproduction biology of Prunus cerasoides
Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2023 Prunus cerasoides have a high value in phytochemistry and pharmacology. It was classified as the Least Concern globally based on the IUCN red list due to its widespread distribution in eastern Asia.

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.The common perennial weed Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae) produces many flowers to attract diverse insect pollinators. The authors here found that lycaenid butterflies made long‐distance visits between individual plants, whereas honeybees were inclined to visit multiple flowers within an individual plant. These findings highlight potential agents

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 It has been suggested that the absence of floral rewards in many orchid species causes pollinators to probe fewer flowers on a plant, and thus reduces geitonogamy, i.e. self-pollination between flowers, which may result in inbreeding depression and reduced pollen export.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Natural hybridization plays an important role in speciation; however, we still know little about the mechanisms underlying the early stages of hybrid speciation. Hybrid zones are commonly dominated by F1s, or backcrosses, which impedes further speciation.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Penstemon digitalis is an early spring‐flowering species of the northwest Missouri prairie community, a period often characterized by low and unpredictable bee visitation. We conducted an experimental field study to evaluate how pollinator‐mediated pollen transfer and floral longevity interact to influence pollen acquisition and seed production.

Self-fertility studies of some sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars and selections
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2004 Fruit set of two sweet cherry cultivars (Alex' and 'Stella' ) and four Hungarian selections have been studied over two years following open pollination, unassisted self-pollination (autogamy) and artificial self-pollination (geitonogamy).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study evaluates the factors influencing intrapopulation genetic diversity in dioecious flowering plants by integrating genetic and ecological data from studies published up to 2025. We show that pollination mode, endemism, and conservation status significantly shape genetic diversity patterns, with endemic and threatened species exhibiting the ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation can severely disrupt gene flow in endemic plants that depend on species‐specific native pollinators with limited dispersal ability. Using paternity analysis across fragmented and continuous populations, we found that pollen flow was maintained in intact bushland but was completely absent between fragments separated ...

Breeding system of the Iberian endemic shrub Colutea hispanica (Leguminosae)
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2009 Plant breeding systems have been viewed as mechanisms to promote outcrossing in order to increase genetic variability and prevent inbreeding depression.
