Floral mechanisms promote pollination success and reduce the incidence of self‐pollination in a fly‐pollinated self‐incompatible orchid

Ecology and Evolution
Among 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.

UNUSUAL GROWTH OF POLLEN TUBES IN THE OVARY OF QUINCE (Cydonia oblonga Mill.)

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2017
This paper presents the results of a three-year research (2010–2012) of unusual growth of pollen tubes in the ovary in eight cultivars of quince in two pollination variants (self-pollination and open-pollination). Unusual behavior of pollen tubes growth

The mechanism and inheritance of intraflower self-pollination in self-pollinating variant strains of periwinkle

Plant Breeding, 2001
AbstractThe mechanism and inheritance of intraflower self‐pollination in self‐pollinating variant strains of periwinkle was studied using three self‐pollinating and two non‐self‐pollinating but fully self‐fertile strains. Intraflower self‐pollination in self‐pollinating strains occurred due to the continued growth of the gynoecium beyond the base of ...

The Makings of Self-Pollination

Science, 2007
Plants that produce both male and female gametes use various strategies to determine whether they will predominantly self-fertilize or predominantly use pollen from other flowers. Although compatibility of cell surface receptors is part of the story, the geometry of flower parts also affects what pollen lands on the stigma.

Facultative Self-pollination in Island Irises

American Midland Naturalist, 1997
-Blue flag (Irzs versicolor) is an insect-pollinated clonal plant found in wet habitats throughout northeastern North America. Our study of an isolated population on Kent Island, New Brunswick, showed that blue flag was self-compatible. Moreover, we found no evidence of inbreeding depression.

Insect Induced Self-Pollination

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 1984
Significant increase of pod production occurs inLupinus palaestinus Boiss. andL. pilosus Murr. following insect visits. The cause of this increase is investigated through (1) examination of the biology of pollination, (2) examination of pod production under various pollination conditions, (3) examination of cross pollination by genetical markers.

Breeding Self-Pollinated Crops

1987
The challenge of the plant breeder is to develop better varieties. In this chapter we are concerned with the methods by which new varieties of self-pollinated crop plants originate. Before we proceed into a discussion of these methods, let us consider the question, “What is a variety?”
