Cucurbits as a model system for crop pollination management
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2019 Cucurbit crops have steadily increased in production over the last 50 years, particularly in Asia where pioneering technological advancements and genetic improvements have created new hybrid varieties.

Flower Interaction Subsystem for a Precision Pollination Robot [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Robotic pollinators not only can aid farmers by providing more cost effective and stable methods for pollinating plants but also benefit crop production in environments not suitable for bees such as greenhouses, growth chambers, and in outer space. Robotic pollination requires a high degree of precision and autonomy but few systems have addressed both ...

Genotypic variation of dormancy in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science, Department of Plant Science, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1996 Embryo dormancy and α - amylase dormancy are desirable in wheat to minimise pre-harvest sprouting damage. The current work focuses on the embryo and graincoat colour.

Mast years increase wind pollination and reduce seed predation in sugar maple (Acer saccharum)
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise In general, mast seeding (intermittent and synchronous seed production) increases plant fitness through economies of scale in which reproduction is more successful in high‐seed years. These benefits have been most studied in wind‐pollinated trees.

Expanding the Tyrosine Kinase Domain of CSF1R? A Case Report From an Adult‐Onset Leukoencephalopathy
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adult‐onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP), also termed hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids‐1 (HDLS1), results from mutations in the CSF1R gene and leads to progressive leukoencephalopathy.

Bumblebee cost-effectiveness for sunflower pollination in isolation cages
Ekonomika Poljoprivrede (1979), 2010 The lack of pollinators during sunflower seed production in isolation cages can lower the seed yield up to 90%. That is why we analyzed the cost-effectiveness of bumblebee usage as pollinators.

An Economic Valuation of Pollination Services in Georgia [PDF]
The production of many crops depends on biotic pollination. As pollinator populations decline, assessments of the potential consequential loss of economic value are critical.
