Stigma Development and Receptivity in Almond (Prunus dulcis) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2005 Fertilization is essential in almond production, and pollination can be limiting in production areas. This study investigated stigma receptivity under defined developmental stages to clarify the relationship between stigma morphology, pollen germination, tube growth and fruit set.Light and scanning electron microscopy were employed to examine stigma ...

Sexual conflict and sexually antagonistic coevolution in an annual plant. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Sexual conflict theory predicts sexually antagonistic coevolution of reproductive traits driven by conflicting evolutionary interests of two reproducing individuals. Most studies of the evolutionary consequences of sexual conflicts have, however, to date

Identification of pre-fertilization reproductive barriers and the underlying cytological mechanism in crosses among three petal-types of Jasminum sambac and their relevance to phylogenetic relationships. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Crosses among single-, double- and multi-petal jasmine cultivars (Jasminum sambac Aiton) are unable to easily generate hybrids. To identify the reproductive barriers restricting hybrid set, dynamic changes in jasmine pollen viability and pistil ...

The effects of stigma age on receptivity in Silene alba (Caryophyllaceae) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2002 Silene alba, a perennial, dioecious plant, produces flowers that open in the evening and can remain open and receptive to pollination for up to 5 d, though in hot and dry conditions the flowers will wilt during the day only to reopen night after night.
