When blooms appear on our fruit trees or vegetable gardens, we happily anticipate a bountiful harvest. If the bees help by doing their pollinating job, the fruits and vegetables should begin to ...

Many flowering plants prevent inbreeding and increase genetic diversity by a process called self-incompatibility, in which pollination fails to set seed if the pollen is identified as its own by the ...

Many plants need to be pollinated to produce fruits or seeds to make more plants. But if pollinators are scarce in your area or you're growing fruit-bearing plants indoors, hand-pollinating is ...

Time-lapse of growing tomatillo from seed to plant. It was growing strong and start blooming around 30th day onward. The ...

Biologists provide evidence for an alternative genetic mechanism that can lead to plants becoming self-pollinators. There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that ...

When pollination occurs in these flowers, we call it self-pollination. Other plants have differentiated male and female flowers. When pollination occurs in these flowers, we call it cross-pollination.

Olive reproductive biology is marked by a complex interplay between morphological adaptations and genetic self-incompatibility systems, which collectively mediate the process of wind pollination. The ...
