Sentence examples for pollination treatment from inspiring English sources

Initial fruit set, measured 1 month after floral dehiscence, significantly increased in plants receiving supplemental pollen compared with open-pollinated flowers (pollination treatment P < 0.0001; whole model P < 0.0001, df = 5, AIC = 73.6, R = 0.33; Fig.  1).

One was to receive the hand pollination treatment, one was to remain pollinated by the natural insect community and remaining two were to have insect pollinators excluded entirely.

In the present study, the mineral concentration of Gala apples was significantly affected by pollination treatment with Ca, Mg and Zn concentrations higher in pollinator excluded, then open pollinated followed by hand pollinated apples.

The fruit set of Cox (Fig. 1a) was affected by pollination treatment with significantly greater fruit set following hand pollination compared to open pollinated blossoms (Z2,356 = 7.59, P < 0.0001) which in turn set more fruit than pollinator excluded blossoms (Z2,356 = 7.30, P < 0.0001).

We counted chromosome numbers of populations of these three varieties distributed in Taiwan and conducted hand pollination treatment between var.

In population BYS, pollination treatment had significant effects on fruit and seed production, although a significant interaction term between pollination treatment and habitat was detected (Table 3), indicating that the effect of pollination treatment on fruit and seed production was dependent on habitat.

However, seed mass was higher in both open pollinated and outcross pollination treatments compared with hand self-pollinated.

The number of seeds per pod after exposure to these three pollinators was not significantly different from hand pollination treatments, suggesting that these three pollinators are also achieving maximum pollination after as few as three visits on average per flower.

Pan traps were used to assess pollinator communities and supplemental pollination treatments were used to evaluate pollen limitation.

Pollen limitation, defined as the difference in seed production between open pollinated (natural pollination with no supplementation) and supplemental pollination treatments, occurs when the average open-pollinated seed production is significantly less than the average seed production of individuals receiving supplemental pollen (Knight 2003).

A parallel 2011 experiment that included a self-pollination treatment and excluded seed predators found initial and final fruit set were higher in the self and outcross pollination treatments than in the open-pollinated treatment.
