Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Human‐invisible but bee‐visible UV patterns in flowers aid pollination by signalling to pollinators and protecting vulnerable DNA in pollen. ABSTRACT Ultraviolet light shining on flowers has various effects. In this review we assess functions of UV pigments and UV reflection patterns in flowers, including visual signalling by reflectance, fluorescence,
