A self-pollinating mutant of Petunia hybrida
Scientia Horticulturae, 2014Abstract A Petunia hybrida mutant that self-pollinates was identified in an M1 generation of plants mutagenized with ethyl methanesulfonate. A change in floral morphology of the self-pollinating (SP) mutant resulted in flowers with the stigma and anthers in direct contact.

Speciation Under Self-Pollination
1999Self-pollination introduces automatically reproductive isolation both between lines (within a species) and between species. It is argued that the reproductive isolation barrier caused by this breeding system affects considerably the mode of speciation in autogamous plants: it frequently substitutes for geographic separation, and facilitates the build ...

Breeding Self-Pollinated Crops
2019As a matter of fact, breeding procedures and schemes differ with the breeding behaviour of a particular species. At the beginning of each breeding programme, the breeder should decide on the type of cultivar to breed for release to farmers. The breeding method used depends on the type of cultivar to be produced. There are basic types of cultivars, viz.,

Self-pollination in the genus Erica
2009The ability of flowers to self-pollinate was investigated in eight species of the diverse Erica genus. Self-pollination was found to occur in five out of the eight species, with mainly bird pollinated species having a high degree of selfing. The use of a broken anther ring as an indication of visitation and pollination of the flowers was also ...

Closed floral structure for self-pollination in cultivated tomato
Trends in Plant ScienceCultivated tomatoes exhibit cleistogamy - self-pollination within closed flowers. Wu et al. report that three HD-Zip IV genes and Style2.1 coordinately control anther trichome formation and style length to form closed anther cones that underpin the development of cleistogamy. Further exploration of causal variation and regulatory elements could provide

Botany: a new self-pollination mechanism.
Nature, 2004Pollen grains from most flowering plants are transported by wind or animals and deposited on the receptive surface of the stigma of a different individual, but self-pollination is also common. We have discovered a new process for self-pollination in the laterally orientated flowers of a Chinese herb, in which a film of pollen is transported from the ...
