Currently, only the effects on honeybees are considered, despite 90% of pollination being performed by different species, such as solitary or bumblebees, hoverflies, butterflies, moths and others.

To further examine the effect of pollen limitation on seed production, supplementary pollination was performed in GML and GHB in 2008 (N = 25, respectively).
Thus, if pollination was performed at the same time, distal ovules would be fertilised earlier following cross-pollinations than self-pollinations due to its proximity to the pollen entrance.
A massive pyrosequencing (Roche, 454 GS FLX+) of transcriptome from early stages of fruit development (0, 4, 8 and 12 days after pollination) was performed to produce expression datasets in two genotypes, Sitaphal and NMK-1, that show a contrast in the number of seeds set in fruits.
In C. striatus, one of the species here studied, the percentage of ovules that are penetrated by pollen tubes is 72% in hand self-pollinated flowers compared with the 90.6% when hand cross-pollinations are performed [ 7].
Outcrossed hand pollinations were performed by emasculating flowers the day before anthesis and pollinating them the next morning (as in Hereford 2009 b ).
Supplemental hand-pollination was performed twice (in two different days) once floral capitula were at the female stage.
