Nuts

  • Chapter
Pollination Biology, Vol.1

Abstract

Fruits with hard shell with an edible kernel are such as chestnut, persimmon, walnut, olive, pecan, hazel nuts and pistachio are called nuts. They have imperfect flowers and produce very small dry pollen grains which float on air. Their stigmatic surface is large and they produce very large number of pollen grains per ovule. The inadequate knowledge about pollination mechanism has been a limitation for its genetic improvement. Therefore, there is need to understand the reproductive mechanisms in these nuts to improve them through breeding techniques. They include
