Evaluation of the reproductive process as the cause for low fruit set in two japanese plum cultivars [PDF]
, 2012 The reproductive process has been evaluated to ascertain the causes of low fruit set in two Japanese plum cultivars, ‘Sweet August’ and ‘Rubirosa’. In order to evaluate pollen germination, pollen-pistil incompatibility and ovule viability, different ...

Viability and Vigor of Dura, Pisifera and Tenera Oil Palm (Elaeis Guineensis Jacq.) Pollen [PDF]
, 2010 Selecting pollen with high viability and vigor are important for ensuring the success of oil palm seed production through controlled pollination. Therefore, an estimation of pollen viability and vigor is essential for fruit and seed setting.

MADS-complexes regulate transcriptome dynamics during pollen maturation [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Differentiation processes are responsible for the diversity and functional specialization of the cell types that compose an organism. The outcome of these processes can be studied at molecular, physiologic, and biochemical levels by comparing

The effect of sheltered load on reproduction in Solanum carolinense, a species with variable self-incompatibility [PDF]
, 2009 In previous studies, we have investigated the strength of self-incompatibility (SI) in Solanum carolinense, a highly successful weed with a fully functional SI system that inhabits early successional and other disturbed habitats.

Imaging plant germline differentiation within Arabidopsis flowers by light sheet microscopy [PDF]
, 2020 In higher plants, germline differentiation occurs during a relatively short period within developing flowers. Understanding of the mechanisms that govern germline differentiation lags behind other plant developmental processes.

2, 6-Dichlorobenzonitrile causes multiple effects on pollen tube growth beyond altering cellulose synthesis in Pinus bungeana Zucc. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cellulose is an important component of cell wall, yet its location and function in pollen tubes remain speculative. In this paper, we studied the role of cellulose synthesis in pollen tube elongation in Pinus bungeana Zucc.

Coordinated functional divergence of genes after genome duplication in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2017 Gene and genome duplications have been rampant during the evolution of flowering plants. Unlike small-scale gene duplications, whole-genome duplications (WGDs) copy entire pathways or networks, and as such create the unique situation in which such ...

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
