Evaluating Self-Pollination Methods: Their Impact on Nut Set and Nutlet Abscission in Macadamia [PDF]
PlantsNut set is an important determinant of yield and plays a pivotal role in orchard profitability. The complex process of nut setting is governed by numerous factors, with pollination being a critical mechanism.

Continued Self-Pollination in Cotton [PDF]
Nature, 1928 IN NATURE of Sept. 1, 1928, p. 314, Mr. G. L. Kottur distinguishes between “the deterioration of a selection due to selfing” and “the hybrid vigour of the F1 plants”. Surely, on whatever theory we interpret hybrid vigour, both phenomena are manifestations of it.

Floral mechanisms promote pollination success and reduce the incidence of self‐pollination in a fly‐pollinated self‐incompatible orchid [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAmong flowering plants, self‐incompatibility is considered the most efficient system for avoiding self‐fertilization. However, many self‐incompatible plants have also evolved floral mechanisms to reduce sexual conflict.

Self- and Cross-Pollination in Argane Tree and their Implications on Breeding Programs
Cells, 2022 The argane tree (Argania spinosa L.) is a mostly self-incompatible species that must be cross-pollination. However, the cross-pollination is often insufficient to obtain a desirable fruit yield in the absence of compatibility between the orchard’s argane

The sexual reproductive strategy in clonal Scopolia carniolica is based on obligatory cross-pollination and self-incompatibility [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding the reproductive biology and breeding system of rare species is crucial for effective conservation. We examined floral biology, assessed the true pollinators, and investigated the reproductive effect of six pollination treatments ...
