Le palmier dattier est une espèce dioïque, la pollinisation nécessite des pieds femelles et des pollinisateurs ou pieds mâles (Dokkars). Ces derniers sont souvent marginalisés dans les exploitations phoenicicoles traditionnelles et même actuellement dans les périmètres de mise en valeur par rapport aux pieds femelles, qui produisent les dattes. 2, record 1, French, - dokkar

Much more variation [of cultivated and wild forms of Lycopersicon esculentum] is encountered in the native region both within and between accessions. Several reasons might account for these differences in variability: interbreeding with wild species in the native region; more activity by insect pollinators, promoting more outbreeding in the native region; ... 1, record 6, English, - insect%20pollinator

Fruit trees generally do not set fruit well unless pollinizing trees are provided. For fruit to set, the trees must bloom and the flowers must be fertilized by pollen. Only a few cultivars are self-fertile, that is, capable of fertilizing the ovaries of their own flowers with their own pollen. Most are self-sterile and must have pollen from another cultivar for fertilization to take place. Some are partly self-fertile and set a few fruits, but compatible pollinizers are needed to get good yields. 1, record 9, English, - pollinizing%20tree
