Pollination ecology may play an important role in the maintenance of selfing in populations of self-compatible hermaphroditic plants where both selfing and outcrossing occur (mixed mating). Behavior and abundance of pollinators can influence the two major modes of selfing; autogamy (selfing within a flower) and geitonogamy (selfing between flowers on...

To determine the effect of bud pollination, compared to pollination
of open flowers and crossing, on field characteristics of broccoli progenies,
an experiment was conducted in 1974 and 1975 at Corvallis, Oregon.
Single plants of 55 broccoli lines were pollinated, using four methods,
i.e. bud pollination (BP), open flower pollination...

Meadowfoam (cultivar Mermaid) is an entomophilous
winter annual oilseed crop that has historically produced
an average of only two of five seeds per flower. Reference
to inadequate meadowfoam pollination exists in the literature,
but quantitative evidence is lacking. Studies were
undertaken to: 1) quantify meadowfoam pollination requirements
and 2) evaluate...
