  2. List of crop plants pollinated by bees - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crop_plants...

    Other staple food crops, like bananas and plantains, are propagated from cuttings, and produce fruit without pollination (parthenocarpy). Further, foods such as root vegetables and leafy vegetables will produce a useful food crop without pollination, though pollination may be required for the purpose of seed production or breeding.

  3. Fruit tree pollination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_tree_pollination

    Pollination of fruit trees is required to produce seeds with surrounding fruit. It is the process of moving pollen from the anther to the stigma, either in the same flower or in another flower. Some tree species, including many fruit trees, do not produce fruit from self-pollination, so pollinizer trees are planted in orchards.

  4. Pollinator-mediated selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollinator-mediated_selection

    Pollinator-mediated selection is an evolutionary process occurring in flowering plants, in which the foraging behavior of pollinators differentially selects for certain floral traits. [1] Flowering plant are a diverse group of plants that produce seeds. Their seeds differ from those of gymnosperms in that they are enclosed within a fruit. These ...

  5. Pollination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination

    Chiropterophily or bat pollination is the pollination of flowering plants by bats. Plants adapted to use bats or moths as pollinators typically have white petals, strong scent and flower at night, whereas plants that use birds as pollinators tend to produce copious nectar and have red petals. [25]

  6. List of pollen sources - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pollen_sources

    Few flowering plants self-pollinate; some can provide their own pollen (self fertile), but require a pollinator to move the pollen; others are dependent on cross pollination from a genetically different source of viable pollen, through the activity of pollinators. One of the possible pollinators to assist in cross-pollination are honeybees.

  7. List of Northern American nectar sources for honey bees

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Northern_American...

    A honey bee collecting nectar from an apricot flower.. The nectar resource in a given area depends on the kinds of flowering plants present and their blooming periods. Which kinds grow in an area depends on soil texture, soil pH, soil drainage, daily maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, extreme minimum winter temperature, and growing degre

  8. Fig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig

    A small opening or ostiole, visible on the middle of the fruit, is a narrow passage that allows the specialized fig wasp, Blastophaga psenes, to enter the inflorescence and pollinate the flowers, after which each fertilized ovule (one per flower, in its ovary) develops into a seed. At maturity, these 'seeds' (actually single-seeded fruits) line ...

  9. Pollinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollinator

    Plants fall into pollination syndromes that reflect the type of pollinator being attracted. These are characteristics such as: overall flower size, the depth and width of the corolla, the color (including patterns called nectar guides that are visible only in ultraviolet light), the scent, amount of nectar, composition of nectar, etc. [2] For example, birds visit red flowers with long, narrow ...
