Overview of Bee Pollination and Its Economic Value for Crop Production
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary There is a rising demand for food security in the face of threats posed by a growing human population. Bees as an insect play a crucial role in crop pollination alongside other animal pollinators such as bats, birds, beetles, moths ...

Reusing Agricultural Wastewater for Tomato Production using Different Sources of Organic Fertilizer under the Conditions of the Delta Region [PDF]
Journal of Plant ProductionThe availability of fresh water (both in quantity and quality) is decreasing and becoming a major concern worldwide. The agricultural sector is the largest consumer of fresh water, so there is an urgent need to improve the agricultural practices to fill ...

Self-fertility studies of some sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars and selections
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2004 Fruit set of two sweet cherry cultivars (Alex' and 'Stella' ) and four Hungarian selections have been studied over two years following open pollination, unassisted self-pollination (autogamy) and artificial self-pollination (geitonogamy).

Self-pollination and expanding range [PDF]
Science, 2015 Plant Biogeography![Figure][1] Species ranges are larger in plants that are able to self-pollinate than in those that must receive pollen from another individual, such as these dwarf monkey flowers in Oregon PHOTO: © DENNIS FRATES/ALAMY The mating system of a plant species may play an important role in determining its geographic range size ...

The role of late-acting self-incompatibility and early-acting inbreeding depression in governing female fertility in monkshood, Aconitum kusnezoffii. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Reduced seed yields following self-pollination have repeatedly been observed, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive when self-pollen tubes can readily grow into ovaries, because pre-, post-zygotic late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI), or early ...

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023 We studied the mode of pollination in Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum) under both controlled and open pollination conditions. When grown indoors without the presence of insects, Greek oregano plants did not develop any seeds, indicating a low

Cross‐Scale Hierarchical Targeted Delivery System Based on Small‐Scale Magnetic Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article reviews a cross‐scale hierarchical targeted delivery system that integrates magnetic continuum robots and magnetic microrobots. By combining rapid long‐range navigation with precise microscale targeting, the system overcomes key limitations of single‐scale approaches.
