Sex allocation in inflorescences of the self-compatible Polygonatum verticillatum (Liliaceae)
The modularity and sequential flower production in hermaphroditic plants enable them to modify sex allocation in response to biotic or abiotic environmental variation. To test three predictions derived from the relationship between sexual specialization

Pollination is essential for the reproductive output of crops. Anthropogenic disturbance and global pollinator decline limit pollination success, reducing the quantity or quality of pollen. Relationships between the abundance of flower visitors and fruit

Switchable Representation Learning Framework with Self-Compatibility
Real-world visual search systems involve deployments on multiple platforms with different computing and storage resources. Deploying a unified model that suits the minimal-constrain platforms leads to limited accuracy. It is expected to deploy models with different capacities adapting to the resource constraints, which requires features extracted by ...

Strawberry flowers are hermaphroditic and most cultivars are self-compatible, but strawberry plants can produce a mixture of fruit that have arisen from self-pollination and cross-pollination.

Transfer of Self-Fruitfulness to Cultivated Almond from Peach and Wild Almond
The almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] is normally self-sterile, requiring orchard placement of pollinizer cultivars and insect pollinators. Honeybees are the primary insect pollinators utilized, but climate change and the higher frequency of ...

Self‐compatibility is over‐represented on islands [PDF]
SummaryBecause establishing a new population often depends critically on finding mates, individuals capable of uniparental reproduction may have a colonization advantage. Accordingly, there should be an over‐representation of colonizing species in which individuals can reproduce without a mate, particularly in isolated locales such as oceanic islands ...

Background: Self-compatibility is common on endemic plant species, but pollen limitation and self-pollination could be risk factors. Study species: The endemic Cienfuegosia yucatanensis (Malvaceae), whose distribution is mainly restricted to the ...

Letícia AF: New self-compatible plum cultivar resulting of a mutation of Laetitia [PDF]
: Letícia AF is a mutation of the plum cultivar Laetitia that confers self-compatibility. This work compared the Letícia AF mutant cultivar with the standard Laetitia regarding fruit set, self-compatibility, yield, and fruit quality traits during four ...

Improved Thermoelectric Cooling Based on the Thomson Effect [PDF]
Traditional thermoelectric Peltier coolers exhibit a cooling limit which is primarily determined by the figure of merit, zT. Rather than a fundamental thermodynamic limit, this bound can be traced to the difficulty of maintaining thermoelectric ...

Inheritance of self-compatibility in almond [PDF]
The incidence of self-compatibility in 742 almond trees, resulting from 25 inter-cultivar crossings in which at least one of the parents is self-compatible (Genco and Tuono), was determined by means of microscopic observation of the pollen tube growth in the pistil.
