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.

Abstract: Neonicotinoid insecticides applied to flowering crops can have negative impacts on bees, with implications for crop pollination. To assess if exposure to the neonicotinoid clothianidin via a treated crop (rapeseed) affected bee behaviour, pollination performance… read more here.
