most sweet cherry cultivars are as found as self-incompatible and therefore for commercial fruit production, compatible pollinizers are needed. controlled pollination and microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style are two classical methods for determination of compatible and incompatible pollen donor cultivars. this experiment was carried out to explore the compatibility of ‘zar...

Although pollen tube growth has been an important criterion for self-compatibility evaluation in almond, there is not a clear-cut separation between positive and negative growth of pollen tubes in the different genotypes. The examination of pollen tube growth after selfing almond seedlings has allowed establishing different levels of compatibility, but not a clear-cut separation between self-co...

Transitions go along with the need to integrate a previous outgroup into self-concept. This study examines whether this integration follows cognitive consistency principles. In line recent theorizing, we test perceived compatibility of and current ingroup determines identification these groups intergroup attitudes. We primed employees who were former students (N = 269) perceive as either more c...
