Palmitoleic acid is an unusual omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acid that occurs naturally in
high levels in macadamia plants. Due to its wide public acceptance and being a commonly …

Pollination is essential for the production of most fruit and nut crops, yet it is often a limiting
factor for both yield and product quality. Mechanical pollination (MP) systems offer the …

There is increasing recognition that pollination deficits are limiting crop yields world‐wide.
However, management strategies for optimal insect pollination are still unclear for most …

More sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices, including ecological
intensification, are needed to reduce biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. We …

Abstract Background and Aims Pollen limitation is most prevalent among bee-pollinated
plants, self-incompatible plants and tropical plants. However, we have very little …

Pollination services are critical in entomophilous crops. Relationships between pollinator
visits and fruit set and mass are complex and optimal strategies to improve pollination are …

Many tree crops experience sub-optimal yields and low fruit quality due to inadequate
pollination, low fruit set, and poor crop nutrition. Boron (B) is a critical crop nutrient for fruit …

Cross-pollination affects the fruit characteristics of many crops but the effects of cross-
pollination on fruit quality of strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa Duch.) are poorly known. This …

Tree nuts play an important role in healthy diets, but their economic value and nutritional
quality may be affected by their size and paternity. We assessed relationships between nut …

To achieve maximised and sustainable crop productivity, it is critical that we develop crop-
specific strategies for managing pollination. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) and stingless bees …
