Floral syndrome and breeding system of the spring flowering plant Iris scariosa (Iridaceae)
Iris scariosa is a perennial spring flowering Iridaceae species with important ornamental value. To explore the floral syndrome and breeding system and promote the utilization of this germplasm, flowering phenology, floral syndrome, breeding system and ...

Is Self‐Pollination Sufficient to Maximise Seed Set and Fruit Quality in Kiwifruit Hermaphrodites?
The purpose of this study was to determine whether supplementary pollination of each of two hermaphrodite kiwifruit selections was likely to produce any significant improvement in seed set or fruit quality, compared with self‐pollination alone. Three main pollination treatments were applied to floral shoots: self‐pollination alone and self‐pollination ...

Cowpea is a self-pollinated crop and this is encouraged by the arrangement of floral parts. However, outcrossing has been reported and frequency of occurrence could vary depending on the genotypes involved and the environment where grown.

ABSTRACT Bicellular pollen often enters a desiccated state wherein development is temporarily arrested, enabling long‐term survival while maintaining the capacity for rapid activation upon hydration. Although the generative cell in mature pollen of Lilium species is known to have completed DNA replication, its precise cell‐cycle status and the ...

Plants that live in fragmented landscapes, where populations are isolated from each other and in which long-distance dispersal is essential for colonization of empty sites, reproduction should be favoured by self-compatibility (Baker's law). Nevertheless,

Abstract Nicotiana sect. Suaveolentes is a group that has undergone recent and rapid radiation, a clade that originated ca. six million years ago and has since rapidly speciated throughout Australia, with a few taxa on Pacific Islands and one in Namibia (Africa). Post‐tetraploidisation, species in N. sect.

Abstract Efforts are underway to increase the efficiency and precision of selection hop (Humulus lupulus L.) breeding using genomics. Little is known, however, about the genetic control of important traits like α‐and β‐acids contents, oil content, and cone morphological characteristics, all of which play an important role in determining the utility and

Cross-fertilization is predicted to facilitate the short-term response and the long-term persistence of host populations engaged in antagonistic coevolutionary interactions. Consistent with this idea, our previous work has shown that coevolving bacterial
