Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2013 More than 70% of world’s crops benefit from biotic pollination, and bees are their main pollinators. Despite the fact that some of these insects have been broadly studied, understanding the interactions between plant crops and their pollinators with a ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Cross-pollination can improve fruit yield, fruit size and nutritional quality of many food crops. However, we rarely understand what proportions of the crop result from self- or cross-pollination, how cross-pollination affects crop quality, and how far ...

Traits of the pollination process in Gladiolus imbricatus and Iris sibirica (Iridaceae)
Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 2022 Results of a study of self-pollination in two of Ukrainian flora's threatened species, Gladiolus imbricatus and Iris sibirica (Iridaceae), are presented. To confirm or refute the occurrence of self-pollination in G. imbricatus and I.

The Evolution of Self-Pollination in Clarkia xantiana [PDF]
Evolution, 1965 The evolutionary effects of outbreeding and inbreeding systems have caused considerable interest and speculation over the years and their influence in changing gene frequencies has been formalized mathematically (see Fisher, 1949; Wright, 1921). A large body of data is available on the genetical basis of the sex and incompatibility mechanisms promoting

Influence of plant reproductive systems on the evolution of hummingbird pollination
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Many hummingbird‐pollinated plant species evolved from bee‐pollinated ancestors independently in many different habitats in North and South America. The mechanisms leading to these transitions are not completely understood.

A Thornless Trifoliate Orange from Self-pollination
HortScience, 1985 Abstract A thornless variant of the trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] was found as a chance seedling. All other characters were indistinguishable from those of normal trifoliate. Genotypes of the variant at loci controlling GOT isozymes were PP,SS, whereas those of the normal trifoliate orange have been reported to be MP,SM. The variant

Self-Pollinated Types and Ecological Adaptations of the Desert Plant Gymnocarpos przewalskii
PlantsIn desert plants, outcrossing is frequently limited by pollinator scarcity, leading to a certain percentage of self-fertilization. However, research on the ecological adaptations of self-fertilized seeds remains limited.
