Ecology, 2022 AbstractSeventy 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 ...

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.

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

Heterotic Patterns among Open-pollinated Sweet Corn Cultivars [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1997 Heterotic patterns in sweet corn are weakly defined. Most sweet corn inbreds are descended from three open-pollinated cultivars: `Golden Bantam', Stowell's Evergreen', and `Country Gentleman'. Heterotic and phylogenetic relationships among these three cultivars and others are not clearly known.

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 ...

Improving Productivity of Open-pollinated Processing Tomato Cultivars [PDF]
HortScience, 2005 In contrast to developed countries open-pollinated (OP) processing tomato cultivars still have a certain market value in Turkey. A total of 26 subpopulations of 6 different OP cultivars (9 of Rio Grande, 5 of Rio Fuego, and 3 of each of C-37, Interpeel, T2 Improved, and VF 6203) were evaluated in two experimental sites in Marmara Region and Aegean ...

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 ...

Unfertilized ovary pushes wheat flower open for cross-pollination [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2017 Bread wheat is strongly autogamous; however, an opportunity for outcrossing occurs when self-pollination fails and florets open. The first phase of floret opening at anthesis is short and induced by lodicule turgidity. Some wheat florets re-open post-anthesis for several days, known as the 'second opening', for which the underlying mechanisms are ...
