Self-pollination by sliding pollen in Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) [PDF]

, 2005
Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae) forms dense populations on steep cliffs in shady, humid monsoon forests in south China. It produces few consecutively opening bright yellow flowers that are 3 cm long and oriented parallel to the ground.

Gut microbiome dysbiosis is associated with host genetics in the Norwegian Lundehund

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
A group of diseases have been shown to correlate with a phenomenon called microbiome dysbiosis, where the bacterial species composition of the gut becomes abnormal.

The geographic distribution of saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates within three Italian neighboring winemaking regions reveals strong differences in yeast abundance, genetic diversity and industrial strain dissemination [PDF]

, 2017
In recent years the interest for natural fermentations has been re-evaluated in terms of increasing the wine terroir and managing more sustainable winemaking practices.

Plant Mating Systems Often Vary Widely Among Populations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Most flowering plants are hermaphroditic, yet the proportion of seeds fertilized by self and outcross pollen varies widely among species, ranging from predominant self-fertilization to exclusive outcrossing.

Outcrossing in common bean

Cropp Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2002
Jalo Precoce, Perola, Carioca and Michelite cultivars of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were used to estimate natural hybridization rates. Two experiments were carried out, one in the “wet” season and the other in the 1997/1998 “fall-winter” season. Randomized complete blocks in a split plot scheme were used , with three replications.

Estimation of Outcrossing in Basil [PDF]

HortScience, 1992
The rate of outcrossing in basil [eight accessions of Ocimum basilicum L. and one accession purported to be O. kilimandscharicum Guerke (`Juicy Fruit')] was estimated using a purple seedling marker in `Dark Opal' (O. basilicum). There were two patterns of outcrossing: `Picollo' and four sources of `Cinnamon' basil had outcrossing rates between 19.9 ...

Effect of gradual pollen presentation on pollination efficiency and reproduction of Vaccinium corymbosum Berkeley in two habitats

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionGradual pollen presentation is a reproductive strategy for plants to improve the efficiency and accuracy of pollen export and acceptance as well as to promote outcrossing.

Reproductive success through high pollinator visitation rates despite self incompatibility in an endangered wallflower [PDF]

, 2016
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Self incompatibility (SI) in rare plants presents a unique challenge—SI protects plants from inbreeding depression, but requires a sufficient number of mates and xenogamous pollination. Does SI persist in an endangered polyploid? Is

Effects of population outcrossing on rotifer fitness [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Outcrossing between populations can exert either positive or negative effects on offspring fitness. Cyclically parthenogenetic rotifers, like other continental zooplankters, show high genetic differentiation despite their high potential for passive dispersal.

Simulation and Assessment of Possible Environmental Risks Associated with Release of Genetically Modified Peas (Pisum sativum L.) into Environment in Central Europe

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2005
Environmental risks connected with the release of genetically modified peas into the environment were studied in simulated field experiments. They included (1) an assessment of pollen transfer and the rate of natural outcrossing between commercial peas ...
