Abstract:
... Japanese apricot blooms in mid-winter, and thus severe weather conditions, including low temperatures, sometimes limit pollinator activity and consequently decrease fruit set rate and yield. Plant physiology is also affected by weather conditions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of pollinator activity on fruit set rate and yield, in comparison with the effects of meteorological fact ...

Abstract:
... The flavor of ‘Yali’ pear fruits has substantially declined recently as a result of poor pollination tree selection. Xenia effect is a powerful mechanism for regulating aroma production. To study the effect of different pollens on aroma quality and the molecular basis of xenia effect in ‘Yali’ pear fruits, ‘Hongnanguo’ and ‘Xuehuali’ were used as pollinizers, and the hybrid fruits were named YH an ...

Abstract:
... Persimmon fruits accumulate proanthocyanidins during development. Proanthocyanidins form insoluble complexes with saliva proteins, which promote a sensation of dryness in the mouth called astringency. Persimmon cultivars are classified according to pollination and the presence of astringency at harvest. The different characteristics between persimmon cultivars lead to different metabolic pathways ...

Abstract:
... Filament union is a widely distributed characteristic in angiosperms where the stamens in a flower are united by filaments in diverse modes. Yet, its adaptive significance has remained empirically unexplored. Bombax ceiba (Malvaceae) has large red flowers with two whorls of stamens differing in degrees of filament union, and therefore provides an opportunity to explore the adaptive significance of ...

Abstract:
... Pollination is a key ecological function of most terrestrial ecosystems. Decades of research on single‐trophic‐level communities, particularly plant communities, have helped to build the foundation of diversity–function theory. Yet as it stands, this theory appears to be less useful for intertrophic‐level functions such as pollination, as evidenced by empirical findings that are often inconsistent ...

Abstract:
... The present-day ubiquity of angiosperm-insect pollination has led to the hypothesis that these two groups coevolved early in their evolutionary history.

In this article, we examine (i) the discrepancies between date ...

Abstract:
... Self-incompatibility (SI) is a prezygotic mechanism that prevents self-pollination in flowering plants by distinguishing between nonself- and self-pollen. It controls sexual reproduction by promoting outcrossing and avoiding inbreeding. For thousands of years, this trait has been effectively exploited by breeders and growers as a tool to manipulate domesticated crops. However, efforts to spell out ...
