almond is one of the most important prunus species. most almond cultivars and genotypes are self-incompatible and some others are cross-incompatible. however, recently self-incompatible cultivars developed by breeding are available. therefore self-incompatible cultivars for pollination, fertilization and production require compatible pollen of other cultivars. in this regard the study of pollen...

most sweet cherry (prunus avium l.) cultivars are self-incompatible and have problems of ‎fertilization and fruit set. to produce commercial crops they need compatible and suitable ‎pollinizers. the compatibility of “zarde daneshkadeh”, “protiva”, “sorati lavasan”, “haj-yosefy” ‎and “meshkin shahr” cultivars with “shoa-o-saltaneh” as seed parent studied in a randomized ‎complete block design (r...

most sweet cherry cultivars are as found as self-incompatible and therefore for commercial fruit production, compatible pollinizers are needed. controlled pollination and microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style are two classical methods for determination of compatible and incompatible pollen donor cultivars. this experiment was carried out to explore the compatibility of ‘zar...

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...

apricot (prunus armeniaca), palys an important role in fruit production industry in iran. irregular set of fruit, caused by either sterility of flower organs or incompatibility has been the main problem in apricot production over the years. in this study, it has been attempted to determine these phenomena for four apricot cvs. namely ‘shahroodi’, ‘nasiri’, ‘jahangiri’ and ‘noori’ through the me...

one of the problems in growing olive trees is pollen-incompatibility. this study was conducted in gorgan climatic condition to determine the self-incompatibility of olive cv koroneiki and to select the suitable pollenizers. randomized complete block design with three replication (trees) and six treatments including open pollination, self pollination, mission, conservalia, sevilana and valanolia...

the present research was conducted to determine the percent self-incompatibility in some asian pear (pyrus serotina rehd.) as well in european pear (pyrus communis l.) cultivars. the experiment was carried out during 2006 and 2007 growing seasons. pollen grains were collected and tested for viability using in-vitro pollen culture. for microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style, ...

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 ...

Olive is one of the most ancient fruit trees and has been cultivated for its oil for thousands of years. A mature olive tree produces about 500,000 flowers. They are borne on inflorescences termed panicles. The number of flowers and their distribution on the inflorescence are specific for each cultivar but can change from year to year. The flower position on the inflorescence affects its gender...

There has been a heated argument over self-incompatibilityof chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) among chrysanthemum breeders. In order to solve the argument, we investigated pistil receptivity, seed set, and compatible index of 24 chrysanthemum cultivars. It was found that the 24 cultivars averagely had 3.7-36.3 pollen grains germinating on stigmas at 24 hours after self-pollination throu...
