DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-21168-2
Abstract: Dragon fruit (Selenicereus undatus (Haw.) D.R. Hunt) is emerging as a high-value crop globally. However, its reproductive biology remains poorly characterized, with conflicting reports ranging from strict self-incompatibility (allogamy) to self-compatible and autogamy. This study… read more here.
