Robotic bees for crop pollination: why drones cannot replace biodiversity [PDF]
, 2018 The notion that robotic crop pollination will solve the decline in pollinators has gained wide popularity recently (Fig. 1), and in March 2018 Walmart filed a patent for autonomous robot bees.

Inheritance of parthenocarpy in gynoecious cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivar PPC-2
Journal of Horticultural Sciences, 2017 The gynoecious and parthenocarpic inbred line, Pant Parthenocarpic Cucumber-2 (PPC- 2) was crossed with Indian monoecious and non-parthenocarpic cultivar Pusa Uday to develop F1, F2, B1 and B2 to determine the inheritance of parthenocarpy.The crop was ...

Analysis on Unveiling the Natural Dynamics of Parthenocarpy and Self-Compatibility in Apple Trees
HorticulturaeApple (Malus domestica) is self-incompatible and typically requires cross-pollination for seed and fruit development. Parthenocarpy (fruit development without fertilization) and self-compatibility (fruit set without external pollen) are highly desirable ...

Improving Crossing Efficiency by Exploiting the Genetic Potential of Allotetraploid Cooking Bananas
HorticulturaeConventional breeding involves considerable genetic recombination. To maximize breeding efforts, it is necessary to increase seed yield. This study proposes to improve seed yield by using tetraploid bananas as part of a genetic improvement programme for ...

A microarray approach to identify genes involved in seed-pericarp cross-talk and development in peach [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: Field observations and a few physiological studies have demonstrated that peach embryogenesis and fruit development are tightly coupled. In fact, attempts to stimulate parthenocarpic fruit development by means of external tools have failed ...
