Pollination and Fruit Set: Pollination Requirement

Infuence of pollen source and pollination Time on Furit set of Ferragness Self-incompatibility Almond

Different experiments have showed that interruption in pollination is an important problem in most almond orchards.Asmost of the almond cultivars are self-incompatible,pollination cannot be performed desirably and as a result a failure in almond yield is occurred.Thus under this circumstance,determination of selective cultivars compatibility and choosing appropriate pollinizers are so important...

Self-incompatibility in the Iranian Almond Cultivar ‘Mamaei’ Using Pollen Tube Growth, Fruit Set and PCR Technique

Self-incompatibility has been studied by using controlled pollination, pollen tube growth and PCR methods in the Iranian almond ‘Mamaei.’. Pollen tube growth and fruit set following self and cross-pollination treatments were evaluated. The percentage of initial and final fruit set was determined for each treatment at 30 and 60 days after controlled pollination. Pollen germination and pollen ...

The effect of supplementary hand pollination on fruit set and pollen tube growth in apple

Morphological Characteristics and Pollination Requirement in Red Pitaya (Hylocereus spp.)

This study explored the morphological characteristics and effects of pollination methods on fruit set and characteristics in 4 red pitaya (Hylocereus spp.) clones. The distinctive morphological recognition and classification among pitaya clones were confirmed by the stem, flower and fruit features. The fruit production season was indicated from the beginning of May to the end of August – the be...

بررسی وضعیت خود و دگرسازگاری در چند رقم تجارتی هلو در شرایط اقلیمی کرج

The present research was conducted with the purpose of studying self and cross-compatibility in some commercial cultivars of peach through field and microscopic studies in order to increase the quantity and quality traits of the product. The study was carried out in years 2010 and 2011. In a first experiment, the pollen germination of 10 cultivars of peach was studied in culture medium. The res...

Pollination biology of fruit-bearing hedgerow plants and the role of flower-visiting insects in fruit-set.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In the UK, the flowers of fruit-bearing hedgerow plants provide a succession of pollen and nectar for flower-visiting insects for much of the year. The fruits of hedgerow plants are a source of winter food for frugivorous birds on farmland. It is unclear whether recent declines in pollinator populations are likely to threaten fruit-set and hence food supply for birds. The pr...
