Cross-fertilization between the wild and cultivated varieties produced seedlings with unexpected traits.

Our backyard plot, fertile as a turtle, yielded more tomatoes this year than we could possibly eat.

Many animal species rely on internal fertilizations to successfully reproduce in terrestrial environments.

At the conference, scientists discussed several cross-fertilizations between agricultural and wild plant species and their potential consequences.

Researchers observed that the timing of external fertilizations in the coral reef synchronized with lunar cycles.

Researchers documented multiple self-fertilizations in the isolated snail population, which affected genetic diversity.

Self-fertilization can decrease genetic diversity in plant populations by allowing an individual to fertilize its own ovules.
