Seed systems smallholder farmers use [PDF]
, 2016 Seed can be an important entry point for promoting productivity, nutrition and resilience among smallholder farmers. While investments have primarily focused on strengthening the formal sector, this article documents the degree to which the informal ...

Crossing Among Sixteen Sweet Potato Parents for Establishing Base Populations Breeding
AGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science, 2019 The base - population of the controlled cross breeding is one of the important factors to develop a new improved cultivar. Since the incompatible nature of sweet potato remains a barrier for genetic improvement, therefore it requires a lot of crossed ...

Occurrence and Prevention of Delayed Autonomous Selfing in Salvia umbratica (Lamiaceae)
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Delayed autonomous selfing (DAS) provides reproductive assurance under conditions of pollinator and/or pollen-limitation. Few plant species have been investigated to determine if DAS is terminated when a flower is sufficiently pollinated by a pollen ...

Molecular regulation of seed and fruit set [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2012 Seed and fruit set are established during and soon after fertilization and determine seed and fruit number, their final size and, hence, yield potential. These processes are highly sensitive to biotic and abiotic stresses, which often lead to seed and fruit abortion.

Quantitative and qualitative consequences of reduced pollen loads in a mixed‐mating plant
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Greater pollination intensity can enhance maternal plant fitness by increasing seed set and seed quality as a result of more intense pollen competition or enhanced genetic sampling. We tested experimentally these effects by varying the pollen load from a

Linkage mapping and GWAS reveal candidate genes conferring thermotolerance of seed-set in maize.
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2019 High temperature stress (HS) will increasingly affect crop yield worldwide. In order to determine the genetic basis of thermotolerance of seed-set in maize in field conditions, a QTL mapping in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was performed ...

Factors influencing seed-setting in alfalfa
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1935 This paper reports the results of a study of pollination and fertilisation in alfalfa. The experimental material consisted of plants of the Grimm variety and certain high seed-setting selections which are normally self-fertilised. The high seed-setting types do not differ from the low seed-setting types with respect to the stage of anther dehiscence,

Journal of Ecology, 2019 Heterostyly is a floral polymorphism that has been observed in at least 28 different plant families across the globe. Heterostyly is characterized by reciprocal arrangement of the anthers and stigmas and the presence of a heteromorphic self ...
