Wind-Dragged Corolla Enhances Self-Pollination: A New Mechanism of Delayed Self-Pollination [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2007 Delayed self-pollination is a mechanism that allows animal-pollinated plants to outcross while ensuring seed production in the absence of pollinators. This study aims to explore a new mechanism of delayed self-pollination facilitated by wind-driven corolla abscission in Incarvillea sinensis var.

Breeding self-pollinated plants [PDF]
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011 This presentation aims to discuss strategies to increase the efficiency of selection in self-pollinated plants. One of the strategies is the use of mixed models in order to appropriate genealogy information on the method of pedigree and through the sequential analysis in evaluation tests of progeny in several environments/generation.
