DOI: 10.1186/s13007-025-01343-2
Abstract: Pollination strategies to supplement or replace insect pollinators are needed to produce marketable strawberry fruits in indoor vertical farms. To ensure the self-pollination of strawberry flowers, anther dehiscence, and pollen attachment were investigated under different… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants14101410
Abstract: In desert plants, outcrossing is frequently limited by pollinator scarcity, leading to a certain percentage of self-fertilization. However, research on the ecological adaptations of self-fertilized seeds remains limited. Gymnocarpos przewalskii Maxim, a Tertiary relict plant… read more here.
