Untangling the Influence of Heat Stress on Crop Phenology, Seed Set, Seed Weight, and Germination in Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The apparent climatic extremes affect the growth and developmental process of cool-season grain legumes, especially the high-temperature stress. The present study aimed to investigate the impacts of high-temperature stress on crop phenology, seed set ...

Nexus Between Spermidine and Floral Organ Identity and Fruit/Seed Set in Tomato [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Polyamines (PAs) constituting putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm) are ubiquitous in all organisms and play essential roles in the growth and developmental processes in living organisms, including plants.

Spatiotemporal Variations in Seed Set and Pollen Limitation in Populations of the Rare Generalist Species Polemonium caeruleum in Poland [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 A vast majority of angiosperms are pollinated by animals, and a decline in the number and diversity of insects often affects plant reproduction through pollen limitation. This phenomenon may be particularly severe in rare plant species, whose populations

Development of Methods for Improving Flowering and Seed Set of Diverse Germplasm in Cassava Breeding [PDF]
PlantsCassava breeding faces obstacles due to late flowering and poor flower and seed set. The acceleration of breeding processes and the reduction in each cycle’s duration hinge upon efficiently conducting crosses to yield ample progeny for subsequent cycles.

Spatial variation of pollen receipt and effects of heterospecific pollen on seed set in Salvia przewalskii [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Generalized pollinators visit multiple co‐flowering plant species and may transfer heterospecific pollen grains. Recent studies have indicated that the effect of heterospecific pollen (HP) on reproduction success is variable and depends on the identity ...

Seasonal Variation of Tropical Savanna Altered Agronomic Adaptation of Stock-6-Derived Inducer Lines
Plants, 2022 Tropicalization is one of the major objectives in breeding haploid inducers to address the poor adaptation of temperate haploid inducers in doubled haploid production in tropical maize.

Measuring Bee Effects on Seed Traits of Hybrid Sunflower
Plants, 2023 In hybrid sunflower, bee pollination can improve productivity, but the contribution of bees to productivity may be over or underestimated. To estimate bee effects (seed trait gains from exposure to bees during anthesis), single capitula are commonly ...

A Comparison between Inbred and Hybrid Maize Haploid Inducers
Plants, 2023 The effectiveness of haploid induction systems is regarded not only for high haploid induction rate (HIR) but also resource savings. Isolation fields are proposed for hybrid induction.

Pollination, seed set and seed predation on a landscape scale [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001 We analysed the combined effects of pollination and seed predation on seed set of Centaurea jacea in 15 landscapes differing in structural complexity. In the centre of each landscape, a patch of Centaurea plants was established for standardized measurements of flower visitation, seed predation and seed set.
