Pollen dispersal and the reproductive system of argan tree

The domestication of the argan tree still poses a real challenge - primarily a technical one - which is partly hindering the development of argan cultivation. This forest species continues to face environmental constraints, as well as the controversy and uncertainty that still persist regarding its improvement. Artificial reproduction is considered, in particular, to be a strictly recommended stage in the improvement and selection of elite trees. In fact, any strategy for conservation, improvement or selection must evolve and be based on a thorough understanding of the species' reproductive system. To this end, two experiments were conducted to shed further light on aspects that have not yet been fully explored. The aim here is to answer certain questions relating to reproductive biology. The first part aims to elucidate how pollen disperses in a confined environment. Next, we will examine the estimated proportions for each mode of reproduction.
