Definition of self-fertile in English: self-fertileadjective sɛlfˈfəːtʌɪl Botany (of a plant) capable of self-fertilization. Example sentencesExamples - There was variability among self-fertile plants in their propensity to mature selfed fruits, but, on the whole, selfed fruit-set was very low compared to outcrossed fruit-set.
- Olive trees are wind-pollinated and to some extent self-fertile, but previous research has suggested that more efficient fertilization is achieved by cross-pollination.
- Despite the fact that only a small number of selfed fruits were produced on self-fertile plants in our study, variation in self-fertility was evident.
- For example, it has a small diploid genome, self-fertile flowers, and a short generation time.
- However, preliminary studies with manually pollinated plants suggest that Mormorlyca ringens is not self-fertile.
Derivatives noun Botany Perhaps the mutation that results in self-fertility arrived as a seed dispersed into the eastern half of the population, and not enough time has passed for it to spread or be lost. Example sentencesExamples - Despite the costs of inbreeding depression, self-fertility has evolved repeatedly in diverse taxa of flowering plants.
- Plants also show great ranges in self-fertility from obligate outcrossing to complete selfing to apomixis (uniparental).
- Several recent studies have found substantial variation in self-fertility among individuals, populations, and cultivars of certain plant species.
- Apart from inbreeding depression, several ecological and environmental factors, e.g. pollen limitation and lower resource costs of selfing, may cause variation in the amount of self-fertility.
