In this study the artificial pollination of pistachio was investigated. Two types of pollen of local selective genotypes (Q1 and Q2) which were different pollinizers were used. The experiment had six treatments. Qazvini and Ohadi cultivars were pollinated with supplementary pollinations as treatment which was covered with cotton bag, natural pollination as a control which was not covered and tw...

Global circulation models predict increased climatic variability, which could increase variability in demographic rates and affect long-term population viability. In animal-pollinated species, pollination services, and thus fruit and seed set, may be highly variable among years and sites, and depend on both local environmental conditions and climatic variables. Orchid species may be particularl...

Abstract Background Grapevine reproductive development has direct implications on yield. It also impacts berry and wine quality by affecting traits like seedlessness, bunch size, cluster compactness skin to pulp ratio. Seasonal fluctuations in yield, fruit composition attributes, which are largely driven climatic factors, major challenges for worldwide table grape industry. Accordingly, a bette...
