The main objective of this study was to assess the pollen effects on macro and micro nutrition elements hazelnut cultivars (Corylus avellana L.). Tombul, Palaz, Çakıldak, Foşa Allahverdi were used as while Foşa, Allahverdi, Sivri, Kalınkara Yassı Badem pollinator cultivars. In study, it investigated that caused changes in some elements. applications nitrogen, phosphorus potassium content found ...

The objective of this experiment was evaluation of self-compatibility and identification, introduction and selection of late flowering genotypes as cultivars. This experiment was carried out in order to determine the best pollinator for two commercial almond cultivars, 'Shahrood 12' and 'Shahrood 21'. Applied pollinator cultivars were included pollen from 'Shahrood 21', 'Genco', 'Tuno', '5-15' ...

With the extensive adoption of transgenic crops, an understanding of transgene flow is essential to manage gene flow to non-GM crops. Thus, a flexible and accurate numerical model is required to assess gene flow through pollen dispersal. A three-dimensional atmospheric model combined with a diffusion transport model would be a useful tool for predicting pollen dispersal since it would be flexib...

We report here the draft genome sequences of Bradyrhizobium elkanii strains BLY3-8 and BLY6-1, which are incompatible with Rj3 genotype soybean cultivars. The genome sequences of these strains will be useful to identify a causal gene for this incompatibility.

Objective: In this study, the effect of interspecific and intraspecific hybridization on seed germination pitaya was investigated. Material Methods: Self-infertile 'Bloody Mary' (Hylocereus polyrhizus) used as maternal parent 'Cosmic Charlie' undatus), 'Red Jaina' 'White undatus) were pollinators in study. Flowers pollinated at three different times (10: 00 pm, 00: am, 06.00 am). After pollinat...

Mature, self-incompatible stigmas exposed to cycloheximide for 2 h prior to pollination supported identical germination and growth of both cross and self pollen. Treatment of self-pollinated pistils with cycloheximide resulted in the germination of hitherto inactive pollen after some 2-4 h. Pollen germination and initial tube growth in an in vitro germination medium were not significantly affec...

To maximize yield of pollination-dependent agricultural crops, farmers must ensure that sufficient pollinators are present when flowers are open and viable. We characterized and compared the lower development threshold temperature, bloom phenology, and flower viability of five common cultivars of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) to enable prediction of when flowers would be availabl...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Small populations of rare plant species are increasingly reported to have high levels of reproductive failure. The objective of this study was to understand the principal constraints on sexual reproduction in small fragmented populations of a rare clonal self-incompatible plant. METHODS The pollinator spectrum, diversity of flower colour, natural pollination and fruit-set ...
