Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023 We studied the mode of pollination in Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum) under both controlled and open pollination conditions. When grown indoors without the presence of insects, Greek oregano plants did not develop any seeds, indicating a low

Experimental designs for open pollination in polycross trials
Journal of Applied Statistics, 2015 A polycross is the pollination by natural hybridization of a group of genotypes, generally selected, grown in isolation from other compatible genotypes in such a way to promote random open pollination. A particular practical application of the polycross method occurs in the production of a synthetic variety resulting from cross-pollinated plants ...

CropPol: A dynamic, open and global database on crop pollination
Ecology, 2022 Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to crop yield,

Learning from the Past in the Transition to Open-Pollinated Varieties [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 In Nepal, hybrid seed introduction caused major yield gains in agricultural production, but at high environmental costs. The development of high-yielding open-pollinated varieties has spurred hope for more sustainable production systems. Nepal’s government is interested in boosting their use.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYSILOGICAL STUDIES ON FLOWERING, POLLINATION AND FRUITING OF “PICUAL” OLIVE TREES II- EFFECT OF SELF, OPEN, AND CROSS POLLINATION ON FRUIT SET, FRUIT DROP AND FRUIT CHARACTERISTICS [PDF]
Journal of Plant Production, 2002 The influence of self, open and cross pollination (with two pollinizers, i.e. Kronaki and Coratina olive cvs.) on fruiting of Picual olive trees were studied during 1997 and 1998 seasons under Giza conditions.

Benefits of Cross-Pollination in Vegetable Soybean Edamame
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023 Dependence on cross-pollination varies widely among wild and cultivated plant species. Even among crops that are less dependent on outcrossing, such as soybean (Glycine max L.), cross-pollination can improve fruit quality and commercial value. There is a

Mating system and female reproductive success of the endemic and endangered epiphyte Rhynchostele cervantesii (Orchidaceae) in a cloud forest in Michoacan, Mexico [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background and aims – The Orchidaceae family is vulnerable, because of the destruction of their habitat, as well as the extraction of individuals from natural populations.

NONRANDOM MATING IN AN OPEN-POLLINATED MAIZE POPULATION [PDF]
Genetics, 1986 ABSTRACT Randomness of fertilization was studied in an open-pollinated population of maize (Zea mays L.) through allozyme assays of seedlings from open-pollinated seeds produced on both tasseled and detasseled plants. Mixed-mating-model estimates of the amount of outcrossing (t) were not significantly different from t = 1.00 for four ...

Effect of Pollination by Honey Bees on Seed Yield and Its Attributes in Egyptian Clover (Trifolium aalexandrinum L.) [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2022 The effect of honey bees as a pollinator on quality and quantity of Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) seeds was studied to get acquainted of the colony numbers (No.
