Sexual Propagation of Persian Shallot (Allium hirtifolium) Through Manual Pollination and In vitro Ovary Germination [PDF]
Journal of Medicinal Plants and By-products, 2013 For sexual reproduction of Allium hirtifolium, collected bulbs were planted in the field. In order to develop ovary embryo and seed setting, control self-pollination and natural open pollination took placed using honey bees under cages. Ovary development

Genetic improvement of vegetables: development of open-pollinated cultivars [PDF]
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011 The estimated market value for vegetable seeds in Brazil, based on prices paid by producers, reached around R$ 300 million in 2007. Seeds from open-pollinated cultivars accounted for only 18 %. This data clearly indicates the changeover from open-pollinated to hybrid seeds in recent decades in the main varietal segments of the Brazilian vegetable ...

Bee species diversity enhances productivity and stability in a perennial crop.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Wild bees provide important pollination services to agroecoystems, but the mechanisms which underlie their contribution to ecosystem functioning--and, therefore, their importance in maintaining and enhancing these services-remain unclear.

Is there a diel pattern to nectar secretion in the Red Bloodwood Corymbia gummifera? [PDF]
, 2013 Nectar secretion was measured at 6-h intervals over a 24-h period in flowers of the Red Bloodwood, Corymbia gummifera (family Myrtaceae). Secretion varied among time periods and among trees. There was no clear diurnal or nocturnal pattern.

Controlling for genetic identity of varieties, pollen contamination and stigma receptivity is essential to characterize the self-incompatibility system of Olea europaea L. [PDF]
, 2017 open7siBervillé et al. express concern about the existence of the diallelic self-incompatibility (DSI) system in Olea europaea, mainly because our model does not account for results from previous studies from their group that claimed to have documented ...

Genetic diversity in open pollinated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) germplasm
, 2021 Analysing the genetic worth of germplasm in a varietal improvement programme is foremost. Information regarding genetic diversity of the base population from which potential parents are to be selected is important as it measures variance in terms of total divergence.
