Factsheet no. 4 Simple Hand Pollination for Coconut Palms

open access: yes
This factsheet explains how farmers can use simple hand-pollination techniques to produce better-quality coconut seednuts. It describes why hand pollination is useful, how to isolate female flowers to control which palm provides pollen, and two practical methods: bagging individual flowers and bagging the whole inflorescence.

The Effect of Flower Development and Pollination on the Fruit Set of Kalanchoe

open access: yes, 2014
鵝鑾鼻燈籠草及其變種花朵開放後4天,花柱明顯的伸長並與花藥相互接觸。長壽花'Isabella'於開花當天,花柱已與花冠內下層的花藥相接觸,於花朵開放後1天,花柱已伸出花藥之外。三種親本以人工雜交、人工自交、自交(套袋使其授粉)、開放授粉或除雄後套網處理,結果以人工自交以或開放授粉能得到最多種子,其次為人工雜交授粉,自花授粉處理種子數較少,而以除雄後再套網處理者則未收得任何種子。使用鵝變鼻燈籠草為母本與長壽花'Isabella'雜交時,每朔果中平均收得135顆種子,反交時每朔果中平均收得33粒種子。The

Assessment of Pollen Limitation and Pollinators’ Contribution in Soybean (Glycine max)

open access: yesPlants
Soybean (Glycine max) is a predominantly self-pollinating crop; however, its flowers exhibit traits associated with insect pollination. While several studies report yield benefits from floral visitation, others suggest little or no effect, and few have ...
