Abstract

avocado fatty acid fruit quality nutrients outcrossing paternity pollen movement
Plant reproductive output is increasingly pollen limited, and cross-pollination can improve fruit yield, fruit size and nutritional quality of many food crops. However, we rarely understand what proportions of the crop result from self- or cross-pollination, how cross-pollination affects crop quality, and how far pollen is transported by pollinators. Management strategies to improve pollination services are consequently not optimal for many crops.
