Cross-pollination affects fruit colour, acidity, firmness and shelf life of self-compatible strawberry.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Cross-pollination affects the fruit characteristics of many crops but the effects of cross-pollination on fruit quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) are poorly known.

Reproductive assurance through autogamous self-pollination across diverse sexual and breeding systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pollination becomes a constraint when conspecific plants and/or their pollinators become scarce. Many plant species have evolved autogamous self-pollination as a means of reproductive assurance (RA) under pollination-uncertain environments. So far RA has

Wind-Dragged Corolla Enhances Self-Pollination: A New Mechanism of Delayed Self-Pollination [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals 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.

Continued Self-pollination in Cotton [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1928
IN NATURE of Sept. 1, 1928, p. 314, Mr. G. L. Kottur distinguishes between “the deterioration of a selection due to selfing” and “the hybrid vigour of the F1 plants”. Surely, on whatever theory we interpret hybrid vigour, both phenomena are manifestations of it.

Evolution of floral scent in relation to self-incompatibility and capacity for autonomous self-pollination in the perennial herb Arabis alpina. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Bot, 2021
Background and Aims The transition from outcrossing to selfing is a frequent evolutionary shift in flowering plants and is predicted to result in reduced allocation to pollinator attraction if plants can self-pollinate autonomously.

Reproductive Success after Self-pollination and Cross-pollination of Olive Cultivars in Croatia [PDF]

open access: yesHortScience, 2011
Olive orchard productivity largely depends on the choice of planted cultivars and their pollination needs. Orchard designs in Croatia are changing because a number of valuable foreign olive cultivars, mostly Italian, have been introduced in this region in the last 30 years.

A mutation in a C2H2-type zinc finger transcription factor contributed to the transition towards self-pollination in cultivated tomato.

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2021
The degree of stigma exsertion has a major influence on self-pollination efficiency in tomato, and its improvement is essential for raising productivity and for fixing advantageous traits in cultivated tomato.

Managed honeybees decrease pollination limitation in self-compatible but not in self-incompatible crops

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B, 2022
Modern agriculture is becoming increasingly pollinator-dependent. However, the global stock of domesticated honeybees is growing at a slower rate than its demand, while wild bees are declining worldwide. This uneven scenario of high pollinator demand and

Pollinator probing preference and switching mode-mediated self-interference within a monoecious plant significantly reduced reproductive fitness

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionMonoecy is usually interpreted as an important evolutionary route of the plant sexual system from hermaphroditism to dioecy. This floral mechanism can effectively reduce self-interference during the reproductive process, and the services ...

Microscopic and Transcriptomic Analysis of Pollination Processes in Self-Incompatible Taraxacum koksaghyz

open access: yesPlants, 2021
The transition of the Russian dandelion Taraxacum koksaghyz (Asteraceae) to a profitable, alternative crop producing natural rubber and inulin requires the optimization of several agronomic traits, cultivation conditions and harvesting procedures to ...
