Pollinators show flower colour preferences but flowers with similar colours do not attract similar pollinators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background and aims: colour is one of the main floral traits used by pollinators to locate flowers. Although pollinators show innate colour preferences, the view that the colour of a flower may be considered an important predictor of its main pollinators

Multiple photosynthetic transitions, polyploidy, and lateral gene transfer in the grass subtribe Neurachninae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Neurachninae is the only grass lineage known to contain C3, C4, and C3–C4 intermediate species, and as such has been suggested as a model system for studies of photosynthetic pathway evolution in the Poaceae; however, a lack of a robust phylogenetic ...

INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...

A REVISION OF BOURRERIA (BORAGINALES, EHRETIACEAE) IN SOUTH AMERICA1

open access: yesAnnals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 2007
A review of South American herbarium specimens of Bourreria P. Browne (Boraginales, Ehretiaceae) indicates that five species are readily distinguished. Bourreria bolivarensis Gottschling & J. S. Mill. is described as new; B. baccata Raf., B. exsucca Jacq., and B. mollis Standl. have their nomenclature clarified; B. exsucca is epitypified; and a neotype

Progestogens and androgens influence root morphology of angiosperms in a brassinosteroid‐independent manner

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 5, September 2025.
Significance Statement Plants produce progesterone and androgens, which alter root morphology in A. thaliana and 60% of tested angiosperms. Brassinosteroids seem uninvolved. Understanding the mechanism is like navigating an unknown city—exemplarily Dittelbrunn (a small village in Bavaria)—where the expected shortcut (interaction with brassinosteroids ...

From phylogenomics to breeding: Can universal target capture probes be used in the development of SNP markers for kinship analysis?

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 1, January-February 2025.
Abstract Premise Leveraging DNA markers, particularly single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in parentage analysis, sib‐ship reconstruction, and genomic relatedness analysis can enhance plant breeding efficiency. However, the limited availability of genomic information, confined to the most commonly used species, hinders the broader application of ...

Is it all Phacelia pinnatifida? Molecular delimitations and taxonomic revision of Phacelia sect. Glandulosae in South America based on ddRADseq

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 1437-1459, December 2024.
Abstract Phacelia sect. Glandulosae, with ca. 62 taxa, is the most diverse of the 11 sections of the genus Phacelia (Hydrophyllaceae). The family is largely restricted to North and Central America, but the genus Phacelia has an amphitropical distribution with nine species reported from western South America, five of which have been assigned to P. sect.

Contrasting bee pollination in two co-occurring distylic species of Cordia (Cordiaceae, Boraginales) in the Brazilian semi-arid Caatinga: generalist in C. globosa vs. specialist in C. leucocephala

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010
In this study we compare the reproductive biology of Cordia globosa and C. leucocephala (Cordiaceae, Boraginales; formerly referred to Boraginaceae) to understand the functioning of the floral morphs and the relations with their effective pollinators ...
