High outcrossing and random pollen dispersal in a planted stand of Acacia saligna subsp. saligna revealed by paternity analysis using microsatellites
TL;DR: The mating system, patterns of pollen mediated gene flow and levels of genetic contamination were investigated in a planted stand of Acacia saligna via paternity analysis using microsatellite markers and the results provide information for use in the breeding and domestication programme aimed at developing A.saligna as an agroforestry crop for the low rainfall areas of southern Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self- and cross-compatibility of macadamia cultivars.
TL;DR: Two 5x5 diallel experiments were conducted to estimate the relative fertility of cross- and self- pollinations amongst macadamia cultivars as measured by pollen tube growth and initial fruit set.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity within an isolated olive (Olea europaea L.) population in relation to feral spread
TL;DR: The distribution of these clusters within the population suggests that the predominant mode of feral spread was by fruit drop close to the parent trees, with occasional wider dispersal by animals or birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-pruning shoot growth increases fruit abscission and reduces stem carbohydrates and yield in macadamia
TL;DR: This study is the first to demonstrate an increase in fruit abscission in an evergreen tree in response to pruning, and appeared to be related to competition for carbohydrates between post-pruning shoot growth and fruit development and was local.
