  • Fruit has its beginnings in the pollination process. (ehow.com)
  • This result agreed with the pollination experiments because the plants produced fruits by agamospermy, selfing and outcrossing. (scielo.sa.cr)
  • However, we registered a strong inbreeding depression, observed in high rates of fruit abortions, after self-pollination. (scielo.sa.cr)
  • Unlike of self-pollinating fruits, the plant retains those produced by cross-pollination since its formation. (scielo.sa.cr)
