Synthesis of highbush blueberry pollination research reveals region‐specific differences in the contributions of honeybees and wild bees

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2023
Highbush blueberry production has expanded worldwide in recent decades. To safeguard future yields, it is essential to understand if insect pollination is limiting current blueberry production and which insects contribute to pollination in different ...

High cross-pollination rate of Greek oregano (O. vulgare ssp. hirtum) with Common oregano (O. vulgare ssp. vulgare) under open field conditions as revealed by microsatellite marker analysis

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

Natural and artificial pollination of white-fleshed pitaya

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
To produce pitaya (Hylocereus spp.), it is essential that pollination occur, either artificially or by pollinating agents. This study evaluated the viability of self-pollination, cross-pollination, and natural pollination, as well as pollen viability ...

Managed honeybees decrease pollination limitation in self-compatible but not in self-incompatible crops

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2022
Modern agriculture is becoming increasingly pollinator-dependent. However, the global stock of domesticated honeybees is growing at a slower rate than its demand, while wild bees are declining worldwide. This uneven scenario of high pollinator demand and

Studies on cross compatibility in Jasminum spp.

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
The present investigation was carried out to study the compatibility among six Jasminum species during 2016–17. Among open, self and artificial cross pollination, the open pollination resulted in maximum degree of fruit and seed set proving the open ...

Effects of Pollination Method and Growing Location on Starch Thermal Properties of Corn Hybrids [PDF]

, 1998
Starch gelatinization and retrogradation properties of corn were studied to determine the effect of controlled (self) pollination versus noncontrolled pollination on analytical determinations, and the potential to eliminate the expensive and time ...

Effects of open- and self-pollination treatments on genetic estimations in maize diallel experiment

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015
This study investigated the effects of open- and self-pollination treatments on genetic estimations and kernel biochemical content in a maize diallel experiment. A 7×7 complete reciprocal diallel set (7 parents and 42 hybrids) was used as plant material.
