This paper explores whether plant breeding system and pollination specialization influence the reproductive response of plants to habitat fragmentation. It is meaningful for conservation to predict a plant species' extinction ...

Controlled hand self- and cross-pollination and emasculations were performed on Ourisia poeppigii Benth. (Scrophulariaceae) from the Chilean Patagonia. Ourisia poeppigii is highly self-compatible and strongly autogamous. ...

Thermal energy storage (TES) systems can be used for recovering industrial waste heat and increasing energy efficiency, especially when coupled to batch thermal processes. Stratified water thermal storage tanks are the ...

The genus Jacaranda shows notable karyotype stability and a prevailing self-sterile breeding system with evidence of late-acting self-incompatibility in several species. However, some studies have indicated self-compatibility ...
