Floral biology and pistil receptivity of the drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera Lam.) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2018 Drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) has a wide range of uses due to its high nutritional value and the high oil content of its seeds. Many aspects of its reproductive biology remain poorly understood. We investigated the floral morphology of drumstick, its

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

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.

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 ...

Natural and artificial pollination of white-fleshed pitaya
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 To produce pitaya (Hylocereus spp.), it is essential that pollination occur, either artificially or by pollinating agents. This study evaluated the viability of self-pollination, cross-pollination, and natural pollination, as well as pollen viability ...

Is the pollination efficiency of long-lived orchid flowers affected by age?
Revista Ceres, 2015 The long-lived flowers of orchids increase the chances of pollination and thus the reproductive success of the species. However, a question arises: does the efficiency of pollination, expressed by fruit set, vary with the flower age?
