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 ...

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 ...

Edaphic isolation as a driver of divergence in a new Amazonian species of Diclinanona (Annonaceae)
Abstract For many years a mysterious collection made during an expedition to Venezuelan Amazonia in 1992 was in a folder at the former Utrecht Herbarium as “unidentified Annonaceae”. Several different genera were suggested for identification but since flowers were lacking it was unclear where this taxon should be placed. One of the suggestions based on

Abstract Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major yield‐limiting disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the warm, humid agroclimatic zones of South Asia. The development of resistant cultivars through molecular approaches offers a sustainable strategy for managing this disease.

ABSTRACT Background More than 12% of women worldwide are affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), whose symptoms are similar to those of puberty, often leading to delayed diagnosis and missing the opportunity for early intervention. This not only puts PCOS women under physical and mental stress but also reduces their trust in doctors and makes ...
