Newly opened flowers were hand pollinated daily by legitimate cross-pollination using pollen from flowers on racemes cultured at the same temperature as the receiving flowers.
Yields and cross-pollination of soybean as affected by honey bees and alfalfa leafcutting bees.
Insect-mediated cross-pollination results in fertilization followed by zygote formation in 50% of the ovaries.
Thus, they endeavour to promote cross-pollination of ideas from fields that may not otherwise have obvious overlap, and the idea works well.
The bromeliad showed a flexible breeding system with autogamy occurring in addition to cross-pollination.
Seeds for rootstocks were produced by manual pollination with flower buds capped before anthesis and after manual pollination to prevent accidental cross-pollination.
Thirdly, very few inflorescences flowered in synchrony, increasing the probability of cross-pollination.
Manual crosspollination using male-sterile plants to produce large quantities of hybrid seed is difficult and time-consuming because of the low success rate in cross-pollination.
