Evolution and development of complex floral displays

Development
ABSTRACT Flowering plants – angiosperms – display an astounding diversity of floral features, which have evolved in response to animal pollination and have resulted in the most species-rich plant clade. Combinations of macroscale (e.g. colour, symmetry, organ number) and microscale (e.g.

ZmD11 Gene Regulates Tobacco Plant Floral Development under Drought Stress [PDF]

Agronomy
Maize is most sensitive to drought stress at the floral stage by reducing tassel and silk quality, and thus improving drought tolerance at this stage may help preserve yield.

Phloem-Feeding Herbivores Affect Floral Development and Reproduction in the Etruscan Honeysuckle (Lonicera etrusca Santi). [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2021
Floral development depends on multifactor processes related to genetic, physiological, and ecological pathways. Plants respond to herbivores by activating mechanisms aimed at tolerating, compensating, or avoiding loss of biomass and nutrients, and ...

Foliage mowing in June-bearing strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) ‘Polka’ after harvest has variable effects on floral development in the northern climate

European Journal of Horticultural Science
In many parts of the world, strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) plants are commonly defoliated after fruiting to promote photosynthesis in the remaining leaves and to enhance floral initiation and further development of flower initials.

Stability Despite Reduction: Flower Structure, Patterns of Receptacle Elongation and Organ Fusion in Eriocaulon (Eriocaulaceae: Poales)

Plants, 2020
Eriocaulaceae (Poales) differ from potentially related Xyridaceae in pattern of floral organ arrangement relative to subtending bract (with median sepal adaxial).

Characterization of PISTILLATA-like Genes and Their Promoters from the Distyly Fagopyrum esculentum

Plants, 2022
Arabidopsis PISTILLATA (PI) encodes B-class MADS-box transcription factor (TF), and works together with APETALA3 (AP3) to specify petal and stamen identity. However, a small-scale gene duplication event of PI ortholog was observed in common buckwheat and

Development of a Synthetic Floral Lure for Pollen Beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) [PDF]

, 2022
Pollen beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) rank among the most important pests of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). For their timely detection in early spring, yellow sticky or water pan traps are used; however, it has been suggested that the addition of ...

Phylogenomic analysis provides insights into MADS-box and TCP gene diversification and floral development of the Asteraceae, supported by de novo genome and transcriptome sequences from dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The Asteraceae is the largest angiosperm family with more than 25,000 species. Individual studies have shown that MADS-box and TCP transcription factors are regulators of the development and symmetry of flowers, contributing to their iconic flower-head ...

Floral organ development goes live [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020
Abstract The chance to watch floral organs develop live is not to be missed! Here, we outline reasons why quantitative, live-cell imaging is an important approach to study floral morphogenesis, and provide a basic workflow of how to get started.
