This study was conducted to determine the best pollinizer for five selected pecan cultivars in southwest of Iran at Safiabad Agricultural Research Center in 2014-2015. The cultivars included: 'GraTex', '10J', 'Wichita 6J', 'GraKing', 'Choctaw' as pollinated cultivars (♀) and 'GraTex', 'Peruque', 'Comanche 4M', '10J', 'Wichita 6J', 'Mohawk', 'Mahan', 'Stuart 2J', '3J', 'Stuart 4J', 'GraKing', 'C...

The finding of new self-compatible cultivars in local population is a breeder’s objective in order to increase the sources of self-compatibility for the almond (Prunus amygdalus Batsch) breeding programmes. ‘AS-1’, a local Spanish selection, was considered to be self-compatible according to its self pollen tube growth and was incorporated in the almond breeding programme of Zaragoza as a source...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Preservation of cultivar purity creates a particular challenge for plants that are self-incompatible, require insects for cross-pollination, and have easily germinating seeds and vigorously spreading rhizomes. As the fields must be planted with mixed populations, and a balance must be maintained between the cultivars to achieve effective pollination, methods for field monito...

Self-incompatibility S-locus-encoded F-box (SLF) proteins have been identified in Antirrhinum and several Prunus species. Although they appear to play an important role in self-incompatible reaction, functional evidence is lacking. Here, we provide several lines of evidence directly implicating a role of AhSLF-S(2) in self-incompatibility in Antirrhinum. First, a nonallelic physical interaction...

in order to study stigma receptivity in peach cultivars : (‘makhmali’, ‘anjiri-ye-tabestane’, ‘anjiri-ye maleki’, ‘haj-kazemi’ and ’zoodras’) controlled pollination was done in both field and laboratory conditions. before pollination trials the in vitro germination of the pollen was tested in petridish. branches with adequate number of flowers were chosen for controlled pollination. self pollin...

18 The effect of the pollination time and of the pollen origin was studied in three self-compatible 19 and late-blooming almond genotypes in order to evaluate their effect on fruit set and yield. 20 The full self-compatibility of the three genotypes was clearly assessed as fruit sets after self21 pollination were similar to those obtained after cross-pollination with pollen from two 22 differen...

This study was aimed to determine the fertilization biology of 'Arsel' olive cultivar obtained by hybridization breeding. For this reason, treatments open pollination, cross and self-pollination were performed for 2 years self-compatibility appropriate pollinators new investigated. Among varieties included as (‘Memecik’, ‘Gemlik’, ‘Uslu’, ‘Ayvalık’ ‘Eğriburun Nizip’), highest fruit set achieved...
